@EricMacramalla We are taking notes. Any of this frosty anti Toronto rhetoric will be remembered. And when we win the World Series with Sho-Jay, I’ll be reposting this tweet and you will never be able to truly celebrate without this on your mind.

@Sportsnet Jen Botterill is the reason why fans are wishing TSN/Bell hold broadcast rights. She was a great player and cheered her at many Olympics. But her narrative that growth of the game is skill and skill only is now archaic especially if you consider how ESPN/US market to fans.

@jonassiegel How on earth are you employed? After everything this season, you focus on a player on LTIR and Reaves (just for the sake of it). A few seasons from now you’ll be working with Steve Simmons at the Sun. I don’t know how @odognine2 tolerates you.
