Lost five in a row now. What an absolute, complete and total bummer.

Woll looked like our 🧱 Woll. Feel awful for him. Those 2 goals in the third were from more stupid defensive breakdowns. And he sure as shit can’t fix those.

This can’t continue. But I have no idea how they’re gonna fix it.

Holy shit! It actually went the Leafs way 😳

NICKY BOBBY. He is working out there and it is awesome to see.

And the Leafs are shooting the puck more!

Bobby, man, two chances to get that out. It’s just the same thing all the damn time.

This is actually really great from Domi. Especially the opening up to folks stuff. Not diabetic, but I do have mental health and neurodiversity related struggles, and in the last couple of years have really embraced the idea that it’s okay to let the people around you know how you gotta live.
Thanks for visiting, Noah 💙
Keep doing your thing! 👊

This ‘presented by BetMGM’ stuff is so dumb 🤢
Both teams are off to hot starts, but which one will finish with more points? 🤔

Poor Kappo Kakko, man. Scores his first of the season; won’t be back for the rest of the game because of an injury.

Not sure what to make of this game after checking in. Bad second from the Leafs again, just from shot count? But they’re up 1, so I’m not going to complain too much.

Also, John Tavares, my goodness. What a season from this man.

JOHNNY TORONTO.

Well. I… Sounds like that was a good first period? They won some puck battles? They scored some nice goals? They looked like a team?

Because daylight savings suck, the games aren’t on during my lunch break anymore. Boo. And, also, hiss. Should still get to listen to some. Just hoping for a full team, full game effort.

There’s probably some joke to be made at Ronaldo’s expense here, but with the week that’s in it, I find myself increasingly infuriated about powerful men continually getting away with sexual assault.

But, as the seanfhocal says: Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire.
😮‍💨 A Troy Parrott brace in a game that also included a red card for Cristiano Ronaldo blows Group F wide open in UEFA World Cup qualifying.

Ireland head to Hungary on Sunday to battle for second place while Hungary will still be hoping to overhaul Portugal (who play Armenia).

If these were real penguins, Sid would be a hoiho surrounded by emperors. He is both rare and (in hockey, at least) a short king.

Max, guy, come on. That was TERRIBLE penalty. That last goal against was the dagger and screwed any chance of tying the game and getting a much needed point.
Max Domi on his penalty:

"Listen, it's part of the game. You don't want to go to the box in the 3rd period, but at the same time, we're not going to take a step back. That's part of the game. We finished the way we wanted to finish & I think we just got to build on it"

I hate the conspiratorial little voice in my head that whispers: however the higher ups / other guys reacted and came back at him after that has fucked with his head.

I know he’s played a lot. But damned if it doesn’t look weird.

My Sharks-fan-brain sings:
“Little darlin'
The smile's returning to the faces
Little darlin'
It seems like years since it's been here”

My Leafs-fan-brain counters:
“I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending”

Why am I like this??
Are we really THAT surprised with Macklin Celebrini!? 👀

Five of the seven assists have been primary assists...

Oh what a glowing, magnificent ad for the NHL this will be

Ew.

The Dark Tower III: The Wastelands by @stephenking.bsky.social

My house was scary, so I read to escape and found comfort in horror.

I still find myself poised before closed doors thinking ‘Maybe...’

If the afterlife I don’t believe in existed, it might start with a field of roses. And a Tower.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
November 12, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Okay, so that loss was a real kick in the face. However, the NHL app did give me a little chuckle.

This picture with the second half of that headline? #CanesAfterDark but, like, for the NHL. Does that exist??

This picture causes physical pain. Ow.
The /NHLBruins have won seven straight games! 🙌
November 12, 2025 at 3:05 AM
So, how did the rest of it go?

Oh. Oh, okay.

Auston? Injured. Stolie? Injured? Another game where the Leafs didn’t get a point? Yep.

Cool.

Cool, cool, cool.

Sports!
November 12, 2025 at 2:54 AM
This team is baffling. How are they so bad at things they were kicking ass at least year? And it’s not just one guy. It’s so many of them! Are they okay??!!
November 12, 2025 at 12:55 AM
I guess this powerplay is because they should have been on the PP when Steeves scored? This is so dumb. If the officiating was better, these kind of bullshit calls/non-calls wouldn’t be necessary.
