Although I guess as long as we're magically changing the 2025 WS there are probably easier changes...

Happy for the Brewers, and the Dodgers getting swept is healthy for the hater's soul. That said, man I wish the Jays could have faced this version of Ohtani or Yamamoto in the World Series. Or even just a non-superhuman version of either one.

As a big time Raddysh guy who’s seen him *struggling* to start the season, seeing him absolutely detonate a one timer for a goal makes me smile

It’s so fucking frustrating to see how much of the response to Ford ripping out the bike lanes is👆🤓 “well, this is why you have to vote!” WE DID. NO ONE LIVING WHERE THESE BIKE LANES RUN ELECTED THESE GUYS. We voted for the people who BUILT them WHAT MORE WERE WE SUPPOSED TO DO

Preds deserve that for the lame offside challenge. Leafs deserve that for the hilarity of missing a 3 on 0

Thank god the NHL used the Hubble telescope to see if a guy walking in 10 feet away from the nearest defender was 0.5 inches in front of the puck

Marchenko must be the best Russian player the Leafs have had since…Mogilny? Not a long list really, but he’s obviously better than Kulemin, Mikheyev and Zaitsev

Morally, the Leafs absolutely should win the Stanley Cup. Not because Leafs fans deserve it. Because the fans of every other team deserve it.

I see that Merzlikins is out for the year with boneitis (6 months but we know what's up), so that makes a little more sense. Curious what they do with a freshly acquired Miles Wood when they already have way too many B6 guys making $3M

I know it's a tough one to take vibes-wise because Knies is a really easy player to love, but I think KM is better. MK has been a little "all tools no toolbox" - maybe he puts it together and becomes better than KM, but even if so probably not during his sweetheart contract

I am pro-life myself and it gives me no joy to report this but I think the Leafs may have absolutely taken the Jackets to the cleaners on this deal. Goodness.

Ah true - back of the napkin math and somehow it's a semi-even trade capwise.

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Anyway FWIW I do think Marchenko is better than Knies right now. You love to see a big guy who can move and score, but in truth he's been a little "all tools no toolbox" since he got here. Maybe he puts it together but 1) does that put him past KM and 2) would that happen during his cheap contract?

I truly hate the "there has to be more happening" copium on a disappointing trade, but the Leafs are now a billion dollars over the cap so I assume *something* is going to happen

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Obviously Knies makes sense as the return, but Friedge said CBJ is trying to clear space in a cap crunch and for this season he makes $4M more than Marchenko. Meanwhile the Leafs are going to have to clear out someone like Dakota Joshua barring any salary going the other way

If it’s not Knies I think I’ll be pretty happy with whatever this is. Contract will be a sticker shock I’m sure but who cares

I’m also high on him generally having been good for a while, and he’s a good, RHD with a shot that gives a dimension to the PP that they’ve not really had for a long time. I think they’ll be fun enough to watch at least

Can’t say I’ve personally seen as much optimism, but I find I’m at least interested in them this season (whereas last season I dreaded it from the start). I didn’t like the bottom 6 additions, but curious to see Raddysh, and also think there’s some addition by subtraction re Berube.

I also saw that apparently GRRM hated season 3 over creative differences (maybe the prophecy tie-in with GoT which, ya, is pretty dumb). If HotD successfully pushes GRRM back into finishing ASOIAF then it should win a lifetime achievement Emmy specifically invented for that purpose

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

To be fair, an adaption of ASOIAF (psychotically layered epic) was always going to lose too much from the books, whereas an adaptation of Fire and Blood (fun in-world history) was always going to have to add a lot more in. But what they have added in has more or less worked

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

House of the Dragon is surprisingly good (much like Fire and Blood was). Some things work better than others, but it’s pretty suspenseful and the character are more fleshed out than in the book. Unlike GoT’s show runners, I think Ryan Condal really loves and *gets* the source material

Mark Walter is particularly boring monster. Putting thousands of people's retirement funds in jeopardy with a bunch of shitty self-dealing so he can pump up the value of his portfolio, including the Dodgers. Walter should go to jail, but also the Dodgers 2025 World Series win should be forfeited

I do think the court is ultimately saying at para 72 that there is no charter right to rational legislation, as long as it has an iota of sense.

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I think the ONCA basically said that this 1) bike lanes aren’t important enough to engage s.7 and 2) the govt cleared the incredibly low bar of rational connection. Para 60 stands out to me as problematic. It’s saying “common sense” wins vs actual expert evidence

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I do think there is a case where legislation is 1) important enough to engage a charter right and 2) so utterly lacking in common sense and rational connection that it is unconstitutional. I thought the originally judgment made a very good case for this legislation meeting those criteria

Kung Fu Canuck (Esquire at law) @kungfucanuck.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

The fact that the judgment twice repeats the “there is no Charter right to bike lanes” line that was straight out of the National Post says a lot. FWIW, the case was actually about whether there is a Charter right to rationality in policy decisions that affect life, liberty, and personal security
