Mixed bag over the first couple games, but last nights effort was much better. Real positive signs from the young kid, and our leaders are starting to shoot more Backup goalie performed well in his first start Plus I hit on my $5 wager on #FanDuel for $81 #LeafsForever #NHL #Hockey #TML

Interesting projected lineup for this early afternoon game today, by your beloved Toronto Maple Leafs We’ll finally get to see Easton Cowan crack the lineup on the first line with Matty and Knies. Exciting times #TML #LeafsForever #NHL #Hockey

Last nights game seemed to be a bit of a snoozefest over the first 2 frames. Picked up in the third but by that time I was flipping back and forth between our beloved Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Blue Jays. 5-2 win. I’ll take it #LeafsForever #NHL #TML Marner choked in the Vegas/LA shootout too 😊

I don’t even know what to say. 2 year extension for McDavid as $12.5. WOW Two things: - Huge discounted signing - he’s not staying in Edmonton beyond 27/28 season #NHL #Hockey #Oilers #Edmonton

Scott Laughton is out weeks to week due to a lower body injury Kempf moves into his spot in practice, then prompt gets put onto waivers. The bet is he’ll pass through waivers and gives the leave some options with cap space #Leafs #LeafsForever #TML #NHL #Hockey

I’m struggling with understanding the #Panthers strategy here. I get the key players they’ve signed over the past couple day, plus their existing under contracts. They’re 11 million over the cap. 23 F/D/G And they need to erase 11 M from their contracted roster 🤷🏻‍♂️ #NHL #Hockey

OFF THE LIST!!!!!! Sam Bennet signs an 8x8 deal with Florida. He’ll be doing dirty hits with the #Panthers until 2033 Fuck him that dirty bastard #LeafsForever #Leafs #NHL 8 years from now is 2033 😭 WTF

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Averages out to 17.5 M over the four years for Tavares, or $4.38 average annually Hometown discount 100% We need more players to take this line. It’s not about what’s in it for me. It’s about winning. Take care of yourself after #Leafsforever #Leafs #NHL

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

FOUR MORE YEARS!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! Johnny Toronto re-signs for 4 years. I like this deal. Save this Bluesky to haunt me later #LeafsForever #LEAFS

Some thoughts on Marner as he walks He never showed up in the playoffs when it mattered When he had the chance to exit at the trade deadline he blocked it, then floated through the playoffs once again I’ll miss his 100 pts I’ll remember him yelling at his teammates with no signs of sweat mid game

Quietly and with little fanfare, Don Cherry signed off for the last time on his ‘Grapevine’ podcast yesterday. With claims of over 6.5 M downloads and over 300 total episodes, he starting the pod shortly after his tumultuous exit from #NHIC in 2019 Don is 91 years old #DonCherry #Hockey #NHL

Interesting: Trevor Zegras has been traded to the Philadelphia Flyers Thankfully Torts isn’t HC anymore or there would no doubt be a nuclear meltdown Ryan Poehling and two picks in 25 and 26 #NHL #Offseason #Hockey #Ducks #Flyers

Andrew Mangiapane, a Bolton kid, is on the list of free agents our beloved Toronto Maple #Leafs will pursue this off season He has a connections to GM Brad via his stint in Calgary Unconfirmed reports that he works at Jacks on the south hill growing up #LeafsForever #NHL #Hockey

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Have I speculated yet about a Robertson/Robertson signing by our beloved Toronto Maple #Leafs? Zero rumblings but think it would be cool and would fit well for both #LeafsForever #NHL #Toronto #Hockey

Towes signs for $2M with heavy incentives $550k for reaching games played milestones in the season (20/30/40/50/60 games) Playoff incentives too, round based and finals too Cap hit is determined after the season #Towes #NHL #Jets #Hockey

What the what? Jonathan #Toews intends to sign with the Winnipeg #Jets??? Wasn’t on my BINGO card for today Silly season is off and running #NHL #Hockey

For anyone saying “we need a guy like Corey Perry on our team” take note: his last 5 appearances in the finals end in crushing defeats. #NHL #Hockey #StanleyCupFinals

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

If you want an understanding of why the #Oilers lost the series, and seemed extreamly ineffective through the series, check out these +/- from last night McDavid -4 Draisaitl -4 Perry - 4 Bouchard -4 Those are some big names on the ice for a lot of goals #NHL

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Thank God that’s over. #FLA beats the #Oilers See you next season folks Or until July 1 when free agency opens up 😅😂

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Looks like the #StanleyCupFinals end tonight. Currently #FLA is up 3-0 with 20 minutes left to play V #Oilers Half the Oilers look like they’ve quit already #NHL #Hockey

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

As a lifelong Toronto Maple #Leafs supporter, I’m no fan of Brad Marchand. But man oh man was that a beauty of a goal in game 5 of the #StanleyCupPlayoffs Top 10 goals of the year easy #NHL #Playoffs

000

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

We’re 16 days away from free agency and rumours are starting to come firm up closer to truths Maybe this Twitter from Andy Strickland is true? Marner will not return. I suppose there’s no reason to doubt it at this point #LeafsForever #Leafs #NHL

The quintessential homer sports announcer is set to retire after the 25-26 season. Love Joe Bowens calls “Don’t tell me about heart and dedication and resilience. This is unbelievable” Still gives me chills #LeafsForever #Leafs #NHL youtu.be/hZ1e1270vrk?...

Well look at that! 3-3 Maybe I’m the #Oilers good luck charm Started watching and they scored 3 unanswered goals. Also overall played better You’re welcome Oiler fans #StanleyCupFinals #NHL #Florida

000

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

I didn’t watch the first and was about to turn it on but it’s already 3-0 #Panthers so what’s the point? Skinner should be pulled before the start of the second Also, time to ditch at $5 M player and get a real goalie This team should be better #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL #Oiler #OilLeak

000

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Rumours leading up to free agency indicate both Jonny T and Matthew Knies will be signed to contract extensions prior to July 1 Two good moves by your beloved Toronto Maple #Leafs if you ask me No word on #16 but he’s almost guaranteed to walk #Leafsforever #NHL

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Interesting contrast: #Oilers Jake Walkman was fined $5,000 for punching #TimeToHunt Matthew Thafuck in the face during game 3 He also raised over $237,000 in small donations via Go Fund Me after the fine was announced #NHL #Hockey #StanleyCupPlayoffs

#USOpen golf is this week at Oakmont in Pennsylvania. To say the rough is deep is an understatement. I would struggle to advance the ball 3 yards probably Also, the greens are running at near 16 on the stimpmeter. Basically the greens are as fast as the I76 which runs close by #Golf #Oakmont

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Last night the #Oilers fell into the same trap our beloved Toronto Maple #Leafs fell into: all that bullshit after whistle crap #Florida wants you to engage with. Slows down the game and puts them in your head. Tough to do, but you gotta skate away There’LL be time for payback later #NHL #Hockey

000

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Where are your multi million dollar me #Edmonton? This is embarrassing Even worse they get into scrims but no one takes out Thafuck I don’t even want to watch the next 2 games at this point #NHL #Hockey

Rob Birmingham @rjbirmingham.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Skinner out after the 5th goal. Pickard is in Who does Knoblauch come back with for game 4? Depending on how this goes I’d continue to play Pickard. Skinner is done after this game I think Also, the in arena music in Florida is terrible. Like a 90s douche club mix #NHL #Oilers #Florida
