More like Go AWAY Maple Laughs! The most overhyped team in all of pro sports.

I don't even tune in to TSN or SportsCenter for the first 10 minutes untill they are done pumping the leafs tires

You think the broadcast is bad check out their websites

It's hard to find anything BUT Toranna centric articles, even if none of their teams played for a day or two.

Try finding the score after tonight's BOA, all the headlines will be about the Leaves, Rap's and Jays.

Usually 2/3'rds of their site is T-O specific articles, gross for a "national" outlet.

Simply not true.

There are lots no doubt but not even close to a majority, not even close.

How about Nylander hey! Holds out for big money, gets it, comes back and lights up the league proving he's worth it.... wait a minute, that doesn't sound right. Ah, probably because he's got the same number of points as Trevor Moore, who has only played 6 games and is the 4th lowest scorer on the team. Yikes!

Can't believe a Leaf's fan hasn't bumped this yet.

Matthews signs a 5 year extension cap hit of 11.634/year.

I haven't seen the details of the contract ,but I would say Dubas did a good job here, would have been better if he got 6 years, but Tavaras and Matthews for 22.6 mil is a pretty good deal IMO for the next 5 years.

Found some details, that's a nice bonus layout...

It's simple math, the Leafs are a much larger market hockey team, easily the biggest market share in the world, therefore they get more air time in the press than the smaller teams on a national program.

There are probably more Leafs fans than there are people in Alberta in total.

No point in being hurt about it, if more people wanted to hear Oilers news I'm sure that's what would be on the air.

It's a lot like going to NAPA and whining that they have more Chevy parts on the shelf than they have Maserati parts. It has nothing to do with who's better but everything to do with who's more popular.

Looks like the Leafs are headed into their annual spring train wreck AGAIN!!

At this point, I don't care if they win the Cup. I just want to see them beat Boston, which is not likely they way they are playing lately.

Boy, did I love seeing my Sens beat on the Leafs. Even when the season's a write-off, beating the Leafs is a lot of fun.

I'm assuming their plan is to finish the the 1st wildcard spot so they don't have to play the Bruins in the first round.

If they do play the Bruins, I can't see that going well for the Leafs.

Duhhhhhhhhh.....TSN is based in Toronto and CN Tower is center of the hockey Universe....FACT
T.O. lives and breathes Leafs since Original 6,Oiler and Flames fans are teenage girl groupies by comparison,no surprise that TSN hosts are fans.
GO LEAFS!! 🍁
