An Observer Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 good to see some of the young guys like Abzi, Sirois and Yao on this list. I still hope to see some Caps and TFC players be loaned to the CPL when they move out of the bubble. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must suck currently with all the Canadian media going on about the Canadiens. gator and Junkie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't followed the Leafs closely since it became easy to watch overseas soccer so have largely tuned the NHL out at this point. Easy to follow your own interests nowadays. The problem with the BBC is that a lot of their presenters don't understand the difference between England and Britain and start talking about we and us where the England team is concerned. It's hard to think of a Canadian parallel to that. Just as Everton fans would be unlikely to welcome Liverpool being referred to as we and us on a shared local Liverpool area broadcaster and will tend to want their main rival to lose against foreign opposition, Scotland fans very much prefer to remember Scotland beating England 3-2 at Wembley in 1967 to constantly being reminded about England's greatest triumph.

It's hard to think of a Canadian parallel to that. Actually, the Canadian parallel is pretty easy to point out. With the overwhelming majority of English-language media in Canada headquartered in Toronto, most national news coverage is told through a very Ontario-centric lens. The Globe and Mail, CTV News, CBC News Network, etc. all tend to provide less "national news coverage" than they do "Ontario coverage of news across the country". Some networks/media outlets are better than others for ensuring that regional and local news is actually covered by regional and local staff through a regional and local lens, to be certain. But I can't tell you the number of times I've rolled my eyes at people trying to push an Upper Canadian view on an issue as "the Canadian perspective". There's a similar phenomenon for French-language media having a very Quebec (and Montreal specifically) centric lens, which I would say is a bit more understandable given the difference in demographics. But certainly equally frustrating for anyone outside the major metropolis.

toontownman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Will post in here rather than a needless new thread.. hardly news but what is up with the refereeing this year? It has been atrocious in comparison to last year and even year one. Poor offside calls, missing foul throws, missing horrible tackles, odd decisions. It's been really poor imo. Standard simply has to be better. MM3/MM2/MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick review of the calendar and they need to fit in 20 matches in about 16 weeks. So they would only need a few mid-week games. There are some rumblings of the Voyageurs Cup starting back up to. Which may mean more mid-week games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calgaryaddick Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 2 of the 5 Cavalry/Edmonton games on weekends. This league can be absolutely brain dead sometimes. Chance for away fans but why would you want to take advantage of that? narduch and Mango 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
