Happy 95th Birthday to Maple Leaf Gardens! Where I saw my first Leaf game at age 8; wrestling, roller derby, concerts, rallies and blessed to have worked from there its last 15 years. I even scored a goal, coached Team Canada (media version) and sat with Paul Morris in his booth.
Matt and Michelle were eliminated and it was RIDICULOUS the tag-team play #Amazingrace

Need some help? Earlier today you both were talking about a contact for "jobs within hockey". Any information @Mattymar89 and @FutaMichael ?

Tvenberg has played THREE NHL games. 1st round pick McKenna has played more games, in comparison and yet Tvenberg is on a higher forward line? #FireHiller #PassionNeversleeps

Never ignore the warning signs of a stroke:
Facial droop
Arm weakness
Speech difficulty
Time to call 9-1-1
From Sen. Chris Murphy’s staff: “Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.”

**Breaking News** 🚨 📰
From multiple league sources, with the Flyers unimpressive start and internal turmoil, Michkov would likely want a new start elsewhere. He's in the last year of his contract & is a prime trade candidate moving forward. #HockeyX
I heard this and thought it was a joke?! Tverberg is ahead of McKenna??? #Passionneversleeps #FireHiller

8 goals against over last 48 hours, folks! Can we FINALLY eliminate this nonsense that this is a playoff team? #Passionneversleeps #FireHiller

Jim Hiller needs to be fired. This is not acceptable and his system sucks. @MapleLeafs @LeafsPR #JohnChayka #MatsSundin
I don't see this roster as a playoff team. Forget "due diligence" but agree with this tweet below #Passionneversleeps #FireHiller
Whether this team is a playoff team at full strength is debatable. But if Rogers is hell bent on getting them in the playoffs, maybe take the L on Hiller and move on. I get that they're banged up, but he's getting nothing out of this group. They don't take care of the puck and they take bad penalties every night, and that's on the head coach too.
