The guys who cover the Leafs work for TSN, The Star and such.

Doesn't mean they aren't idiots and bumholes.

Oh I wasn't disagreeing, don't get me wrong.

All this crap about if the leafs falter this year. Some serious thought about the core must happen this summer.....

Didn't we hear this same poop last year? Weren't changes suppose to happen last summer?

Nothing is going to happen if they falter...

The top 8 clickable articles on TSN right now are related to the Leafs. Two of the 8 are the same one article about Carrick.

But the Leafs get too much coverage.

Man, the Toronto sports media is such a disgusting parasite.

(frank) them. They always look for drama and if they can't find it, they create it. They are a scourge on the fans in this city and the Leafs. The reason why people don't want to play for Toronto? Because they know the media will disparage them and the team and the city.

That's not all though. they'll continuously write articles saying Leaf fans are stupid for supporting this team and then when jerseys get thrown on the ice, they rejoice with glee and write articles about how Leaf fans aren't classy

Who in their right mind would want to play for this city?

Feschuk was practically being called a hero on off the record and sportscenter yesterday. Because he asked a question that Phil answered and then kept badgering him.....well done.

Quality journalism....but he got his name is lights.

He is a crap writer so has to pull this kinda crap to keep his job. I'm surprised he didn't call Kessels mom

Air Jordan on waivers.

A lot of Leaf players do charity. Do the Toronto media cover these events? No... do they do cool things like follow the Leafs around to give fans a view of a day in their lives to see what the Leaf players are like in real life? No...

I am a little upset about the Carlyle firing. I never got a chance to finish making the "Gun fight at the just OK corral" Movie poster

No. The rose colored glasses on here refuse to believe the fire when there's ample smoke. "Have you met kessel? Do you know he's a bumhole?". No matter what perception / multiple sources say.

Some on here are still wondering if this 'core' is the problem...waiting to see if a new coach will fix it. Respect the optimism, just don't understand it.

Sigh.

I'm going to try to explain this to you one more time, Clarkie, in the simplest form possible:

If you are trying to make a rum and coke, and you don't have any rum, you don't help your cause by pouring the coke down the drain.

Hang on to the coke. Go out and get yourself some rum.

If you can't understand that, I'm afraid I can't help you.

Shanahan took over in the summer... I get that fans want changes... but havent we seen enough knee jerk moves and reactions to bad analyses or player evaluation?

if you didnt know righting this ship was a 3-5 year operation..you had your head in the sand

Sigh.

Exactly.

Blaming Kessel for not being a leader is like blaming Bozak for not being a true number 1 center.

They give their poopty opinions and portray it as the collective thoughts of the fan base. They are parasites

Winning makes them go: "WE KNOW THEY WON'T WIN FOREVER, EVENTUALLY THEY WILL LOSE"

No (frank)ing poop.

Were passed 5 years though.. Kessel has been here for what 6-7 years now? Same with Dion?

Its not working

Exactly.

Or Dion for not being pretty.

- Woderwick

This is absolutely correct.

For those of us old enough to remember the early 90s runs, Toronto was THE place to play hockey.

There was a 4X4 - I want to say it was a Ford - that actually had a "Felix Potvin Edition."

I poop you not - a Felix Potvin Edition to a truck. And people bought it.

I've always maintained this: the Leafs need to get good before they can get great. They need to win a couple of playoff series, and have the fans go ape-poop.

Then players will want to start playing here again.

Sigh.
