✌🏼out chemo!
After 3+ years & over 1000 doses of chemo, we are elated to share that our brave & 💪 son, Leo, has finally finished his chemotherapy treatments for Leukemia & we are incredibly proud of him!! Thank you to everyone for your ❤️ & support. We are forever grateful 🙏
I’m sorry, I don’t agree with this decision not to play Jason Spezza.
16 years, 1065 games, hometown guy, playing against his former team on opening night deserves to play over Nick Shore who could’ve got the Friday game in CLB if there is a rotation going. 🤷♂️
I hope this is a wake up call for change in the NHL. Fans are losing interest.
-No rivalries
-lacking storylines
-more buzz around talk of trades then actual trades
-poor marketing of stars
-too many math equations
-horrible playoff format
Just to name a few things
NHL U.S. TV national viewership is down 22% this season, per findings from
@AustinKarp
.
NHL regular games to date have averaged 373,000 viewers on ESPN/TNT, 2nd season of the league's 7-year pact with Disney & Turner.
NHL averaged 478,000 viewers at this point last season.
Seriously, enough with the mandates. Mask if you choose. The bigger thing that infuriates me & wonder why it doesn’t bother others the same, is how the hell we live in a country/province that has no kids meds on there shelves?? Wtf is going on?? How is this happening??
I am so done with everyone acting like an expert on Covid. This absolutely sucks. I encourage people to find something positive in their life & go enjoy it this weekend instead of screaming into the cancel everything universe. Sending positive vibes your way. Have a great weekend
Every doctor involved in that Tua decision to return on Sunday and clear him to play to tonight should be absolutely disgusted in themselves. Disgraceful that they downplayed a head injury.
Shoutout to the 2 neighborhood kids who offered to shovel my driveway as I was in the middle of doing it.
They came by & said
“Sir, we’ll shovel your driveway for $5” I said, “I’ll give you guys $20”
They happily agreed to do it & I was happy to pay them.
Everyone wins
Why are we allowing 36k people to fly in to our province? And why are we paying the price for it by being locked down but we won’t shut down the airports?
We seriously need to stop exaggerating about snow storms. We live in Canada & It snows in Canada! Bomb cyclones? Still waiting to see what that is. Be safe. Drive safe. Happy Holidays everyone
Ford just told all doctors, scientists & mayors of Ontario that have suggested to open outdoor activities because its safe & it’s needed for people’s physical & mental health, that their voice or opinions don’t matter because his buddies know more than them. Let that sink in!
This is Drew Doughty, one of the best dman in the league, Do you think he gets booed or gets traded for making the same mistake Jake Gardiner made? NO! All great players make the same mistakes. People need to take the good with the bad when it comes to Jake. He is a good dman
Tonight, our so Leo rang that bell 1 last time in front of all of
#LeafsForever
nation & it was a moment we are so thankful for & that we will never forget
#LeoStrong
💪
Great way to start a new year with new hope & optimism by waking up this morning to the news that we’re moving back to 2020 Covid rules way of life when about 90% of people are fully vaxxed in 2022! What a disgrace 🤬Our kids don’t deserve this. No one does. What’s the end game?
It’s been a rough couple days for our little Leo who broke his femur on Sunday. He was playing a game and fell awkwardly, fracturing the bone. We spent a couple nights in the hospital but we’re home now, resting & on the road to recovery

The NHL is the best hockey league in the world. Which means, teams should never have to have shortened lineups or rely on renting goalies because of cap issues. Time for NHL to bend on hard cap & create a system more flexible so that the NHL players & fans aren’t embarrassed
Carey Price didn’t steal the series. He played great like high priced players are supposed to play like in playoffs. Goaltending was not the reason leafs lost.

#LeafsForever
fans ever just be happy with a win without being so critical of some players? They’ve been the better team through 3 games & lead 2-1 in a series against the 2x champs & people wanna complain about Tavares & Nylander. C’mon folks get real.
Barring any changes, I’m told
@NHLFlyers
D Yandle’s
@NHL
record Ironman streak of 989 consecutive games played will end tonight. Only 11 games from 1000, with Flyers out of playoff picture this is an odd decision to sit the highly respected veteran.
#HockeyTwitter
Show me the analytic that said it was a good idea to pull the pitcher who was cruising through a 0-0 game in the 4th inning at only 47 pitches? When you find it, tell it to f-off. Amateur hour managing
Connor McDavid is the best player on the planet & the NHL is doing a horrible job not showcasing him in prime time hours. 10:30 pm ET again???
This guy is a human highlight reel & this is a massive missed opportunity for NHL to market their biggest star in the game.
#StanleyCup
I honestly can’t believe the outrage
#NextLevel
fans have for John Schneider. There’s is no way I point the finger at him. The bullpen (which management built) couldn’t get 10 outs with a 7 run lead, in a must win
#Postseason
game. That’s the reason they lost.
Brady is cheering for his brother & the team he plays for. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I would bet if the roles were reversed, Matthew would do the same thing. The fact that this is concerning to people is ridiculous
I can’t believe
#boycottcostco
is trending on twitter cuz shoppers are upset cuz they’re being told to wear a mask. C’mon people, don’t be ignorant. Think about the people who work in these essential stores everyday & put themselves at risk so you can do your shopping.
Jake Muzzins game tonight is the perfect example of “put your money where your mouth is” Called out his teammates after game in Pittsburgh and backs it up with one of his best games of the season. That’s how you lead
#LeafsForever
Places of worship can have 10 people INDOORS but SAFE outdoor activities like golf & playground for KIDS!!! Which have been prove to be safe are closed? Being outdoors is the advise we’ve been given for over a year!!! How the hell does any of this make sense?
Kyle Dubas has done an outstanding job reshaping this roster to make this team better. One of the moves he made that isn’t getting enough credit, was adding Jason Spezza to his mgmt staff. Don’t think he didn’t play a major role with everything they’ve done so far
#LeafsForever
Blue jays paid 18 million dollars for a pitcher to throw 47 pitches in 3 innings & get pulled in a 0-0 elimination game. Smash all the computers. They’re all good for the garbage!
You can’t measure all the things O’Reilly brings to a team. But this picture says all you need to know about who the
#LeafsForever
acquired.
-hardest worker
-ultimate competitor & leader
-hates losing
-heart & soul guy
-playoff guy!
A friendly reminder to all
#LeafsForever
fans out there that are screaming the Freddy sucks, D sucks, what’s wrong with Tavares & trade Nylander nonsense after losing last night.
The Leafs are 11-3-2 = 24pts & have the best record in the league.
Take a deep breathe & R-E-L-A-X
This is a very disturbing reaction from the bench after watching a teammate get carried of the ice after a dirty hit.
If I’m running the video session today, this is the only clip that is being played on repeat. I like many others just shake my head
Words could never describe how grateful we are for the outpouring of love and support we have received since sharing the news of our son’s diagnosis.
THANK YOU all, it means so much to us. 🙏💙🎗
Our brave Leo is almost done chemo!

There isn’t a better feeling than coming home to a smile on Leo’s face.
Thank You

family and to the staff

for putting that smile on Leo’s face with this amazing gift basket that included his favorite push car.
We are extremely grateful 🙏
#LeoStrong
It absolutely sucks that Bedard suffered an injury on this play. I see nothing wrong with what Smith did. It’s another great reminder for players, especially young ones, that hockey is a contact sport & you need to play with your head up & do a better job of protecting yourself
The
#LeafsForever
are loaded with talent. But consider this..
Of the 8 teams remaining in the
#StanleyCup
playoffs, not 1 team has a player making 10+ mil.
Leafs may have 3 🤔
The
#CBJ
announce that Mike Babcock is stepping down as head coach just days before training camp opens. Mutual decision after discussions with management.
Brought this up last year & I will bring it up again.
None of the 8 teams that will play in the
#StanleyCup
playoffs have a player that makes $10+ million.
#LeafsForever
have 3 🤔
@AndrewBerkshire
Let me tell you something Andrew. You can’t buy your way to the NHL. You definitely can’t buy your way to having the career Hyman has had which includes scoring 50. Pretty ridiculous thing to say
WTF??? That heinous monster should be thrown out of this game and suspended. Way worse than what Kadri did. Protect your friggen All Stars
@NHL
this is BS. Chara is dirty AF
#LeafsForever
NHL hiring IIHF refs? That’s a clean hit. Shoulder to a guy that sees the hit coming & tries to brace it by turning to finish shooting the puck.
So McMann gets 5 min for being the stronger guy in the collision? C’mon. Hockey is still a physical game whether people like it or not
Stanley poured me a nice drink the first time. This time, thanks to my boy Alex Pietrangelo, Stanley served me a nice Italian bowl of pasta.

#stlblues
Saying Connor McDavid hit 100pts in 53 gms because he played in the weakest division in hockey is the most ridiculous thing you can say about his record setting season. You ever think how many pts he’d get playing in the normal West division against the teams shown below?
Not a fan having every team represented at All Star game. It’s called the All“STAR”game not the All “TEAM”game for a reason. Put the star players of the league in game & play best on best
