Mitch Marner! Shot handed goal!  6-3 baybee!

Impressive win by the Leafs. 

A desperate Vegas trying to break out of a slump, bringing everything they got, playoff like intensity.

Leafs young guns come up big and cut them to pieces anyways.

Salt o' the earth road Leaf fans louder in Vegas than the home fans, Leafs traveling well in Sin City.

Ladies love Mitch Marner. Aww.

Andreas Johnsson is second only to Elias Pettersson in rookie scoring, Brayden McNabb actually did us a favour taking him out, Johnsson is scoring his way off the team, need to chop him down just to keep the cap hit in check.

The Loafs were clearly partying in Vegas last night, because they haven't even showed up for this game in Arizona, to say that they are mailing it in, is an insult to letter carriers everywhere.

Mike Babcock Country Club lives.

Hey NHL, what's with all the Huawei shit? Can that Huawei sign be any bigger or brighter? The one that's always right in our face, front-row centre, throughout the intermission sportscast commentary-

How about shut the damned advertizing off while the discussion is about hockey? Or go to hell.

Rogers has to make back the $5.2 billion it spent on NHL broadcast rights in Canada. I mean, they kind of overpaid there.

They really did, I know it's hockey in Canada and all, but still, overpay city.

It's a classic case of the Canadian Nanny Police State overspending and then having to go cap in hand to the Chinese Communists to fund the Potemkin Village

Classic Potemkin Village, that's not Hockey Night in Canada anymore, wasn't before the Chinese Communists took it over neither.

It's a metaphor for Canada itself, presenting the facade of good ol' Hockey Night in Canada, while behind the scenes it is Beijing pulling the strings, because other capital is fleeing Canada in favour of the quality of American freedom.

This is what the Fake Country looks like.

It's such an overpay, especially considering it's extremely easy to watch any game you want for free, hard to make $5.2 billion back when only a tiny bit of resourcefulness gets one around the paywall that funds them.

Of course, the Toronto Star says be at peace, Chinese Communist takeover is all good;

But Rogers is doing nothing wrong, said Sui Sui, an associate professor at Ryerson University and an expert in Canada-China trade relations within the Ted Rogers School of Management.

Sui pointed out Huawei has relationships with Canadian universities, other companies as well as broadcasters.

“The concern is … these companies should do something, right, like stop working with (Huawei)? But I don’t think so. This is an issue between the U.S. and China,” said Sui. “For us (in Canada), it’s an opportunity to work with this company and have foreign investment.
