The Game<\/p>\n
This is the last Prime game of the season. After two years of Prime, I can say I like their quality of filming and broadcast, but I don’t think the commentary or panels are very good. Not that the other channels are massively better. I don’t like the start time or the very long delay before puck drop. I think they’re worse than Sportsnet for that. <\/p>\n
However, if Prime in Canada adopts the Prime Video Ultra system launched in the US, it will require additional payment to get a 4k broadcast. <\/p>\n
That’s cheery, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
Okay, here’s how it is. I think any form of tanking is bad for the sport, bad for the fans of the team as fans and a bad way to go about the business of living. <\/p>\n
But it is simply the truth that a huge dose of bad luck on top of everything else the team has gone through has led them to this spot. Having that top five pick right now would be useful. <\/p>\n
It’s hard not to be cheering for them to lose. <\/p>\n
My advice is to make sure you don’t fall into the habit of always wanting the Leafs to lose, to prove they’re inherently bad and cursed forevermore, so you can be angry about that. That pit has slippery sides, and it’s a lot harder to climb out of it than it is to land on your ass in the darkness at the bottom of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Stars @ Toronto Maple Leafs07:30 PM at Scotiabank ArenaWatch on: Prime, Victory+ The Leafs last game was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5106],"tags":[5,20,5172,4,66,31,5171],"class_list":{"0":"post-551889","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-maple-leafs","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-maple-leafs","10":"tag-mapleleafs","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-toronto","13":"tag-toronto-maple-leafs","14":"tag-torontomapleleafs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116398700814854912","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
