After his player got suspended, Matt Allan Walsh called out the kangaroo court that is Player Safety for having no accountability and creating an environment for vigilante justice or nothing. Let him cook.
#CBJ Erik Gudbranson has been suspended 1 game for being the aggressor against #FlaPanthers Nick Cousins.

There have been other incidents of players violently cross checking opposing players in the face. Teeth flying, concussion, blood gushing. 2 or 3 games. Here there was NO INJURY, the concussion spotter didn’t even remove the player from the game. The Violent Gentlemen is a joke!

Additionally, David Perron got 6 games for cross-checking Artem Zub on the play that knocked Dylan Larkin out.

Huge celebrations from Mr. Tavares when the Leafs tied the game with 7 seconds to go, ruined by the vapid expression from the miserable s.o.b. that is Paul Marner.
I wonder if Mitch asked to bring his dog, Zeus, on the dad's trip instead. At least Matt Martin was in the building.
Despite the loss, John Tavares' dad was the happiest person to get to watch him tally point 1,000 in person 😭🤍 pic.twitter.com/ktBYqj3NnP

WJC camp is underway for Canada. Leafs Fraser Minten and Easton Cowan are in the mix when you look at the line rushes. Cowan is on the wing of the possible third line, while Minten is one of the possible fourth line centres.
Fraser Minten will have a special rooting section in Toronto should he crack Canada's #WorldJuniors roster as he has formed a special bond with John Tavares and his family: https://t.co/C7uvI0VZL1 pic.twitter.com/uivsc0SZT8

Easton Cowan is coming into selection camp with an aggressive mentality which he hopes will result in a spot on a Team Canada #WorldJuniors roster that will be competing for a third consecutive gold medal: https://t.co/fhP9YiExAt pic.twitter.com/W2dnfKdSKr

Today's the day final rosters are due in the PWHL. After today, teams have an international break – Five Nations Cup for Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Germany, and Switzerland, and Rivalry Series for Canada and the USA – before they comes back together for the start of the season on New Year's Day!
Happy Monday.

The PWHL will release all final rosters on Tuesday — aka tomorrow!
Victoria Bach has been absent for many of the weekday training camp sessions. We have some clarity now thanks to The Sun+Kyle Cushman who have been on top of the Toronto team the past couple months. She's finishing her teaching degree! I can't help but feel kinship there. Good luck with the internship/practicums and hope to see you on the ice soon, Ms. Bach!
Confirmation that PWHL Toronto will be without Victoria Bach for the first month of the season as she finishes her teaching degree https://t.co/0lhKCzxyyY

Some money talk to end the FTB off. I guess you don't need interest when you're getting the better part of a BILLION DOLLARS anyway. Don't worry about chasing any decimal points.
Shohei Ohtani's $700 million contract calls for him to be paid only $2 million a year for the next 10 seasons, with $680 million deferred until the end of the deal, sources confirm to ESPN.

The CBT hit on the contract is going to be around $46 million, a huge discount for L.A.
Rogers is selling their minority stake in Cogeco in Quebec. The other end of the Ohtani money?
Rogers just announced it has sold its entire minority stake in Cogeco to the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec for $829 million. Will use money to pay down debt. Cogeco in turn is buying back those shares, and will sell CDPQ shares in subsidiary Cogeco Communications.
