@Jay_D_Rosehill Negligent mismanagement

This is sickening

@mirtle “Not great” is an understatement. The phrase I’d use is “negligent mismanagement”.

If the Leafs had one fewer point this season, they would have finished third last in the NHL and guarateed keeping a top five pick through the lottery. The way they handled the end of the season was not great. nytimes.com/athletic/71955…

@elonmusk This will create two classes of people: The Ultra-Rich owners of the AI companies, and everyone else, who will be living in a communistic hell.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@amato_mike Negligent management. Abject failure

So one less point and the Leafs would've finished third last based on tiebreakers and guaranteed to keep their pick. How they did not prioritize that with even the slightest effort could be a misstep that haunts them for years.

@joeyferg A non-negligent management group would have seen this coming since January and have intentionally sat key players - like @jtbourne suggested in January. They are only three points up on third place. Two more losses and they would be in 3rd last and would keep their pick

Honestly a pretty remarkable tank by the Leafs down the stretch to finish bottom 5 and get a 42% chance at salvaging this season. And all they had to do was just keep playing the same brand of hockey they've been playing for two years

At 35 years old John Tavares will be the only Maple Leaf to dress in all 82 games of this season He has 31 goals and 71 points through 81 games ahead of the season finale in Ottawa tonight

@SamAMcKee Why is Willy even playing in this game?

Concerning start to this hockey game

@LeafsPapi_ @Ozoon_CA And if the leafs management weren’t negligent, they would have lost at least two more games in regulation since January and we’d already be celebrating. Instead, it’s likely that the Leafs will hand Boston the 6th Overall pick this year. Which is, naturally, the Leafiest outcome.

CGY and NYR have tiebreaker over TOR - If TOR loses out and either CGY or NYR pickup 3/4 points, they jump the Leafs - If both CGY and NYR pickup 3/4 points and Leafs lose out, Leafs would drop to bottom 3 guaranteeing they keep their draft pick #LeafsForever | @Ozoon_CA

@davidalter If you want loser points, then you’ve gotta make it 3-2-1 for regulation win - OT win - OT loss, or you wind up with this stupidity. The current system also makes the end of the third period in close games a total bore, as both teams sit back and play for the loser point.

The Islanders are officially eliminated on the same day they are tied for 9th in the league overall in wins (43). What a system.

@Dr_Singularity I wish. Unless things change, AI returns will be concentrated to a small number of corporations and individuals.

Post-scarcity Earth. You’re going to witness it. The shift is already happening.

@leafs_truth Managerial negligence. This following massive overpays at last season’s deadline, abject inaction this season (not firing Berube in November, failing to make any moves through the season), and securing poor returns at this deadline. All amounts to managerial malpractice.

I can't believe the Leafs won 3 of 4 just two weeks ago. Even if you only flip the Rangers game, the Leafs would be comfortably in 4th last, with an 80% of keeping their pick. And just 3 points ahead of Calgary for 3rd last, where they would have a 100% of keeping their pick.

Everything being owned by a few corporations doesn’t end well for humanity. History shows that massive wealth inequality results in revolution. That’s what we’re sleepwalking into, thanks to governmental inaction.

@CaseyNewton and @kevinroose, AI companies dismiss concerns about mass unemployment by highlighting the GDP growth that AI will bring. But if the returns from AI is concentrated to a small group of companies and individuals, how is that good for society?!

@SelectOneNow @davidalter Yes, Keith Pelley, for example. You may have heard of him. He’s a pretty influential guy in Leafs management.

@davidalter There's people not on team tank?

If you're on Team Tank for the #Leafs to keep their top-5 selection at the 2026 Draft, you are rooting for the Flames to beat the Mammoth tonight. thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-ma…

@LeafsPapi_ Someone’s gotta tell Willy to cut it out

@SamAMcKee Worst possible outcome is coming - handing Boston the no. 6 pick

The infuriating thing about this is how close they are and still need a lot of breaks to get in. If they had ANY commitment to tanking (like Florida has done) they would comfortably inside the bottom 5. The theme of this season “Disconnect”

@TJ_Cooney Insanely cool

Artemis II launch from the tower in slow motion

@_MaxQ_ @NASASpaceflight One word: EPIC

(HEADPHONE WARNING) Come take a seat inside the gates of Launch Complex 39B to watch & listen as SLS and her crew of four take to the skies, destined for the moon on the Artemis II mission. Lots to break down in the audio - from the HPU's chuffing away, the ROFI's popping, and the poor microphone taking the acoustic brunt of four RS-25 engines and a pair of five-segment solid rocket boosters. Come check it! 📸 - @NASASpaceflight

@mcclxskey Hahahaha That’s exactly the jibber jabber he was spewing.

First, you need the structure, okay. Then when you put a structure in place, what you do is you take that structure and you come up with a strategy. So now you’ve got your structure and your strategy, okay, and boom - you’re on to tactics. It’s a sequence, right? And so you need the right people in the right structure with the right strategy and the right tactics and then you have what’s called alignment. What alignment does is it lets you have accountability. So there’s your winning formula right there. I mean, look at Michael Hagey. Could be the next Sid Cosby. So we’ve got to learn from the Buffalo Sabretooth Tigers and build around our foundational pieces like Michael Nylander if we’re going to win Stanley’s Cup. I’ve heard a lot of comments (a lot of comments!) and I know #35 has been flying off the shelf, but I’m not here to sell jerseys.

@mirtle Gee thanks, Mirtle. Pretty depressing piece that is, unfortunately, spot on.

On the massive mess the Maple Leafs have become and who's to blame nytimes.com/athletic/71597…
