Q: How much is your poor performance based on the Leafs rebuild?
A: I admire what Brendan Shanahan has been doing this year. It's been difficult for him and it's been difficult for us. But there's a ray of hope.
Hey, look — the Leafs are the economic driver of the hockey ecosystem in Canada. You can talk about wanting to promote other teams, the reality is that this is the biggest television market in the country. When the Leafs do well, the overall television numbers do well.
On the baseball side, the tide is high. On the hockey side, the tide is out at the moment, but as I look at the Leafs, the Oilers, the tide is coming in.
I'd love to be around when the tide is high on both hockey and baseball.
Is it any wonder Sportsnet is garbage?
