Bryan-Ray Rainville

@Adam45715058 @Takhar77 You are missing my point too, what does not having a player in the Olympics have to do with watching hockey??

@brrain @Takhar77 Lmfao you’re missing the point. Maybe check into a McGill class 😂

The Leafs Effect: Rogers paid $5.2 billion for their NHL TV deal, but without the Leafs, are unable to get a single Canadian team playing on prime time Saturday tonight, or next week.

@wpgtiger @Takhar77 I was talking about teams currently in the playoffs, I know Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver fans will still watch. The point was it doesn't matter when those 3 teams play, they will still get huge ratings.

@brrain @Takhar77 You're right we dont care about nhl teams. I hope mtl and ott lose in 4 straight.

@Leafsthoughtz @Takhar77 Why did you stop watching the Leafs?? Did you watch any other games since the Olympic break??

@brrain @Takhar77 Im a leaf fan and havent watched a Leaf game since the game after the Olympic break. I’ve been watching all day lol You’re an idiot

@Rob83871601 Why is a supposed Canadian News Agency, all for the separation of Canada?? Oh that's right they are not a news agency, they are just grifters and losers, and they like to exploit the less fortunate and uneducated. They are terrible people!!

@nathandowney23 @Takhar77 You are in a minority

@brrain @Takhar77 Hey mr facts matter. Do you have any proof to back up this claim? Im a leafs fan tuned into the playoffs today. I also watch junior hockey. Do facts still matter?

@Adam45715058 @Takhar77 You do know playing hockey and cheering hockey are two different things right?? McGill used to offer a course dedicated named 'The Religion of the Montreal Canadiens'

@brrain @Takhar77 If Montreal has soooo many diehard fans, why couldn’t your city (province in entirety actually) produce 1 fucking Olympian for the Men’s team? Lmfao

@KrisStellick @Takhar77 I am watching Sportsnet, I can't stand the TVA announcers, so sad RDS doesn't have the Playoff games

@brrain @Takhar77 Watching TVA right now, Sens games. but this is not true. IYKYK 😘

@KrisStellick @Takhar77 Except for Montreal, look it up, they have both French and English TV, and they watch no matter what

@brrain @Takhar77 Best city that watches 🏒playoffs even when their team isn't in playoffs is buffalo No original 6 even close

@Takhar77 @GamblingAvenge1 According to AI Sunday afternoon and Prime time games Average the most ratings for NHL playoffs at around 2 Million viewers however the highest game rated game in over a decade for a round 1 game was the Leafs vs Bruins on a Saturday night at 3.22 million viewers.

@GamblingAvenge1 @brrain They sure are. Saturday in Canada. Saturday and Wednesday in the US. Thanks for trying.

@Takhar77 But they are not, they never factor the French market, more people in Canada watch the Habs.

@brrain Yeah just the most knowledgeable hockey market in the league, with the national broadcaster here, the Hall of Fame here, and the biggest television audience here. Not hockey fans though 💀 Spot on, moron.😂

@middlerightmind @Takhar77 You are in the minority!!

@brrain @Takhar77 Hey, long-suffering Leaf fan here. I’m actually more excited to watch Rd. 1 without my idiot team involved. Just get to enjoy the best hockey of the year without sweating wins or losses. Think you’ve missed the mark on this take.

@LadleToTheGravy @Takhar77 What L, it’s common fact!!

@brrain @Takhar77 Bryan you got your cheeks absolutely clapped. Take the L and save yourself a morsel of dignity

@richardnotdik55 @Takhar77 Yes most will be watch Wrestlemania!!

@brrain @Takhar77

@Takhar77 @GamblingAvenge1 No they are not, Sunday late afternoon. Notice who is playing then??

@GamblingAvenge1 @brrain Biggest hockey television numbers from both Canada & the US are on Saturdays

@Takhar77 They are not hockey fans is my point!! Leafs fans are not going to watch hockey tonight. Hockey fans of other teams in Canada will. So they don't have a need to put a Canadian team in action. The ratings will be the same.

@brrain Yes - those famously fairweather Leafs fans who only hop on the bandwagon when their team wins the cup 💀 Good one.

@AnnakinSlayd I went to Game 2 and Game 5 in Pittsburgh of that series!!

Best game I ever attended, I’d say.

@DefendTheR I love the sight lines at CTC, feels like your on top of the game

@brrain Cyril Leeder noted that as a regret in how they designed it. Turns out better seats are easier to sell.

Amazing how much larger their lower-bowl seating area is vs. CTC.

@JackKreuzer @thurmanthomas I was at that game!!

Is it crazy to say this is a Mount Rushmore RJ call? This is how you freaking NAIL a moment. Perfection. He didn’t just describe a moment, he *added* to it. That’s how I view the essence of elite play by play.
