I think the best line ever given to me one-on-one came from Jimmy Rutherford, then Red Wings goalie. They were 84 points behind Montreal late in the season. I said, "Jimmy how do you get up for a game when you're 84 points back?" He said, "Don't forget, we've got a game in hand."

So let me get this straight. If the Leafs lose three consecutive games to the team with the fewest regular-season points — with two of those games at home — it’s somehow the fault of a government that Bruce doesn’t like? He sure knows his sports, doesn’t he?

I mean the Leafs are a much better team, pretty clearly, which is one reason it would be truly incredible

You’re a sick person. Seek help. I live in the U.S for almost half the year meet many fine people who support Trump. This evil and wickedness that you attribute to 100 million or so Americans is a sign of your delusion and obsession. I say again, seek help.

You could be right Bruce. Granted, it would be a first, but still… Even so, in the meantime, it might not be a bad idea to seek professional help.

Trump is reading stuff he doesn't believe to a roomful of fascist-thirsty fools. If he wins this time, America becomes the most dangerous nation on Earth. People who boost him are enabling authoritarian fascism, and an assault on democracy. That's it.

You’re twisting the situation to suit your aims. These guys have been tested every other day for months. At the first sign of infection, the players is banned from interaction. Their salaries or the wealth of the owners has nothing to do with it. You’re just creating division.

You see, this is a very special virus. It doesn’t threaten millionaire NHL players or billionaire team owners. And they pose no threat to you. Only lowly citizens are threatened — and pose a threat. So stay in your lockdown, know your place, and watch the NHL on TV.

Right again Bruce. As you were about Covid, vaccinations etc. At one time, newspapers used to fight against tax dollars. Now they fight to get tax dollars. Would Poilievre’s decision to end your freeloading be affecting your stance at all?

What hypocrisy. All Bruce's lofty ideals disappear when a Republican is the victim. Getting an understanding of US politics by reading Bruce Arthur is like getting an understanding of medieval history by watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I watched the French version but they have no idea what they’re doing. It was terrible. All they did was talk about playoff hockey. No one was wearing any ribbons. Nobody promoted a cause. They even had a segment with an ex-coach (Michel Bergeron). How could fans like that?
