Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 16hWe need to talk about how insane the Toronto market is treated for Leaf games lol. I’m sorry but the game tonight was blacked out everywhere except Toronto and was on TSN5. 10PM Thursday game against Las fucking Vegas and you got both guys on the broadcast terrified to be even remotely Leaf biased. 120
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 17hWe gotta go through how many insanely basic hockey plays got called 5 minute majors so they could review them lmao. And the officials literally huddled and still didn’t do it on the OEL - literally brainless and unfixable. Entire DoPS and department that manages officiating needs to be gone tomorrow 110
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 17hLike the pps are 5-1 Vegas and they also have a penalty shot and the refs don’t call a 5 just so they can review it? I’m convinced having a 0 iq is a requirement to officiate in the NHL. Beer league officials wouldn’t miss this - 100% wouldn’t. 181
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 17hAt some point the Leafs org has to stand up for itself man. Can’t just fucking ‘gee shucks’ for the 10000 time an insane call is missed while the other team has 4 more PPs than you and a penalty shot. 141
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 17hIn any non-clown sports league there’s some sort of mechanism where that OEL hit is reviewed and never missed lmao. Beer league refs with one less official some how never miss that lmao. 010
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hWell 2 would’ve been nice but I don’t hate that effort and coming away with 1. 020
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hAm I 100% sure? No but I think that’s pretty close to a 50/50 game over 60 minutes. I’m just plain very okay with that as your first road game against Vegas. 000
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hDoesn’t matter what happens now - A+ from Bobrovsky. If he can just give you that calm no pressure 900-905 goaltending he’s worth a slight overpayment. 000
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hEverybody complains about what they want the Leafs to have but all I want is a fucking coach that goes ape shit just once and throws a garbage can on the ice after one of these dipshit calls. This has being going on 10 years - stop the ‘gee shucks maybe one day the officials will like us’ shit. 020
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hSomebody tell me which other NHL team doesn’t get a call here when they are down 4-1 in PP opportunities. 020
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hNormally I like Mike Johnson - but ‘is throwing a guy on his head when he doesn’t play the puck a penalty?’ Is a real thing this dude just said out loud. 130
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hAny other team they call that a 5 just so they can review it 020
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hYou just can’t convince me any other team in the league has to work this hard to get any fucking calls. I WATCHED OTTAWA GET 4 POWERPLAYS IN 12 MINUTES 030
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hYou can just see it with OEL - he wants to be that guy from 3-4 years ago where he was mildly good and a game changer. Just be that bottom 6 guy that makes the simple puck up ice guy like Stecher is. Tried to do too much behind the net there. 000
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hIt’s just wild the Leafs show some fight and come out okay in the third - and these fucking refs call that Groulx hold and give Vegas a bunch of momentum. Wild. 000
Reposted by Bruce RickAlex @alexinthe705.bsky.social · 18hWhat are the refs afraid of? It’s not like the Leafs powerplay is any good 012
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hI’m very much against the calls should even up for both teams but it just seems like that applies to every team in the league BUT the Leafs lmao 030
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hHow do you call that hold after watching Marner take 3 slashes on Tanev away from the puck in front of an official lmaoooo 272
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hI get how insane this sounds because Stecher makes a million and OEL makes 4 but I think OEL is trying to play like this mid pair heavy defender when he probably just needs to play like Stecher to be pretty good at the role the Leafs need him for. 110
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 18hThat 2nd period was awful but I think you gotta identify a team In game 5 that shows it wants to be more uptempo and play modern hockey having a bad 20 minutes after a 3 goal lead isn’t the same as a team that skated in mud for 60 games have a bad 2nd period. 130
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 19hOkay this is more just bad luck than Bob being blind but annoying none the less 010
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 21hThe Bruins are up 6-0 and at like 24% on money puck lmfao. Some Bruins fan made a deal with the devil man. 010

Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I get that this is likely impossible and I don’t despise any of the recent Leafs goals songs but how fucking amazing would it be if every time they scored you heard DVP by PUP - ‘DOING 180 DOWN THE DON VALLEY PARKWAY’ 100
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Honestly I’m always shocked social media companies don’t have like an enterprise multi user approval feature for company posts. Like it’s wild to me any one single person can log into one single brand and post whatever. 110
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Graham Platner being forced to resign is something I think a lot of dems / left / whoever should take notice of - it was so strongly framed as giving up or re-electing Susan Collins but like it’s ended up with probably a even stronger democratic candidate in Troy Jackson. 000
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think the whole AI cult actually ruins AI tbh. In a world where people aren’t pushing this shit to launder money or scheme to layoff employees - AI could be a semi cool supplementary tool to help people be more effective at what they are already good at. (Fuck generative AI tho). 010
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Absolutely 100%. These AI people are clueless On some level if someone was like hey I used AI to explain or develop some strategy I then personally used to pick or play players - I’d be like that’s actually cool Instead these AI freaks are so lazy/uncreative the AI cult level devotion makes sense! 000

Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Impossibly good sports night. Braves v Dodgers playoff baseball 3PM - Leafs / Sens / Habs hockey (Leafs W/ Sens L / Habs L) - Canada USA soccer friendly - Padres v Braves til midnight. Impossibly good sportsball. 010
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s hard to put into words but there’s this very ‘Toronto’ brand of hockey player and there’s only a couple I’ve seen that embody it. Kadri and William Nylander. Again it’s tough to explain - Matthews/Marner/Tavares, great Leafs and we guys like em / lucky to have but they aren’t Toronto hockey. 2100

Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m gunna be honest I don’t care if guys are creative when there’s 4 teammates behind him - go to town Gavin. 010
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I dunno man - it’s the right call obviously but like it just feels like if this wasn’t caught by the officials live why are we reviewing a play where an offside didn’t contribute to the goal? 130
Bruce Rick @totalgarbodor.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This stuff is annoying because if this is offside it didn’t impact the play at all. 040
