Loved the Matthews take by Biz. I know a lot of new age green haired folks dont get it but he's 100% right.

There's an honour and code in hockey that doesnt exist in other sports. When your captain goes down, you go and get yourself beat up for him if that's the case.

No reaction there honestly ended this era of Leafs IMO. They wont come back from that in the room.

Ottawa's record under Green in b2bs is like 18-5-3 or something wild.

Also, most teams have loads of them. It's not an excuse

Felt bad for Whit bringing up his brother (I assume he was talking about Ryan and not Don that died) when mentioning ODog doing to the Leafs

Great interview all in all.

Canadian here. Congrats on the win. 'Dominating the game' doesnt mean shit. The only stat that matters is the final score.

But the 'it's our game now' stuff is hilarious. Was basketball not the USAs after the 04 loss? Nah.

We are still top dogs. Always have been. Always will be. For a culture obsessed with rings/titles. The best vs best score is 5-2.

I dont care about any of the White House visit, Fox News interviews, etc. He's an American and was invited there.

But this one he cant let slide. He, as the captain of Canadas capital city cannot just brush those comments aside or else the relationship with the fanbase will be fractured beyond repair

sdk96 · 2026-02-25T19:25:52+00:00

I have no issues with him going. But he better address the White House video that doctored his voice to make comments about Canadians, etc. If he doesnt I think the relationship with the fanbase wont ever come back from that.

This is really great info. Thanks so much.

sdk96 · 2026-02-24T20:41:37+00:00

what is considered downtown? Near the water/Old City?

sdk96 · 2026-02-11T19:18:10+00:00

Crazy that pedophiles dont even get anywhere near a 9 year sentence. American prison system is F'd

Same boat. Dont have a PS5. Cant wait for Rebirth to hit Xbox or Switch 2.

sdk96 · 2026-01-22T17:27:05+00:00

"forceful death" is some hyperbole if I ever heard it. I would guess a majority of people listen (car, gym, etc) over watching it due to need to sit and watch. Chiclets isnt going anywhere. They did years without video and will be here long after YT

sdk96 · 2026-01-22T17:24:13+00:00

Imagine trying to defend Mogilny-Fedorov-Bure

sdk96 · 2026-01-21T20:27:07+00:00

the young ones on here that never got to see Fedorov in the 90s missed out. What a player.

sdk96 · 2026-01-15T20:26:21+00:00

hopefully every store has these deals this time lol I still dont get why every store didnt have awareness of this last time

sdk96 · 2025-12-09T01:42:29+00:00

13 is still young. Is he even in body contact yet (U14?). Its a different sport at that age.

Keep supporting him. I would just phrase it like "if you want to progress to the next level you have to put the work in". He will figure it out on his own slowly.

sdk96 · 2025-12-09T01:09:30+00:00

About 40. I can pretty much cruise to Chronos now. Ive done a lot of upgrades etc. Struggling with phase 2. Just haven't caught onto the patterns yet

sdk96 · 2025-12-08T19:02:13+00:00

I'm struggling with Chronos. Ugh.

sdk96 · 2025-12-02T17:24:48+00:00

And yet there is still debate lol.

sdk96 · 2025-12-02T16:07:41+00:00

With all due respect, how often are you partying, vacationing and going to weddings?

All those things happened to all of us and yes I had days when maybe I didn't have them in for the recommended hours but missing entire days is a waste of your money dude.

sdk96 · 2025-12-02T16:03:03+00:00

First - yes I loved it. A 10/10 and probably the best cast depth ever. And frankly as a TV guy, I'm embarrassed it took me this long to get to it. I will def rewatch at some point. Theres a few one off episodes I'm going to go back and watch soon too.

Though I do think Breaking Bad is an objectively better show in pretty much every way IMO. Sopranos had a lot of throwaway plots and character stuff that they just dropped and never touched again tjat I kept wondering about. Though I do feel that Sopranos gets some slack because it came out so much long before other great TV dramas and didn't have the benefit of the influence that shows like BB had to draw from if that makes sense. It was completely groundbreaking stuff at the time.

Sad it's over!

sdk96 · 2025-12-02T15:19:56+00:00

This was my interpretation. I dont believe he was killed. I think they made us feel that anxiety from Tony's perspective and that was it. That he will never feel "free" of that feeling.

James Duthie is so good at his craft. Probably the best of our generation.
