The media has been absolutely praising the Leafs for losing in the first round 3 years in a row............................
- manvanfan

They media has picked Toronto to win NOTHING and spent the past year sayimg the Leafs are in cap hell, every RFA wanted out and would sign an offersheet,.

If Dubas did what Benning did this summer he'd be destroyed.

WOW

McAvoy 3 year 4.9 AAV

Boston and Columbus made out like (frank)en Bandits signing Werenski and McAvoy to those deals.

over 40 mil on 4 players and only one Dman signed moving forward. Barrie will be gone soon. Yeah future looks bright in TO
- LordHumungous

Oh my god Leafs are paying 40 million to superstars!

Pay your stars. Don't ovetpay supporting talent.

And Leafs have the $$ to sign Barrie. 16 million minimum

I can see that I better grab my 🥽 and my 🌂 as the 🧂🛁 were flying in here last night. Toronto and Vancouver will eternally be tied together by their moronic cocksure fans.

Remember...some math whiz college kid in the States pumped a bunch of numbers in a computer and said there will be a Nucks-Leafs SCF with 5 years...

"Research"?

The media gobble at the tit of TMLSE. I like the additions of Barrie and Kerfoot, but the rest... where will the cap space come from next year to re-sign Barrie? You sound exactly like our own cap deniers.
- 1970vintage

Please explain the past year of Leaf coverage then. Offersheets! Leafs are screwed!

Leafs get more crap than any team.

Here's Sportsnets first article after the Marner signing.

Gobbling at the tit you say?

You mean the Lou moves?
And I meant salary. Boyle and Pleks cost nothing on the cap.

"Overpaying" for depth players. If those depth players don't mean anything, why is Toronto trading for depth players?

lol sugar coat it however you want. #teamwhiner in here complains about cap issues while you are experiencing it first hand now. You'll see soon enough how locking up 4 players over 40 mil is gonna work.

You spend too much time listening to the media. They fabricate things. Make up stories. Certain types take what they say seriously.

How is overpaying 3rd and 4th liners working out? Boeser is not signed and you're almost capped-out without seeing the playofffs once.

Oh so now you are completely backtracking. LOL

- manvanfan

Toronto isn't overpaying for depth players. And they traded a 3rd line C for a 3rd line c/w. And a top-pairing D in his prime was included..

You misunderstand. I'm not suggesting there's no criticism, but the Leafs are the #1 topic on both networks, and they did a nice bit of magic putting all the blame on Marner before he signed. Every TML fan I know out west was slurping that up, saying poop like "I'm not sure I even want him on my team anymore, even if he signs".

I never believed there would be even a single offer sheet signed, they NEVER work. I was surprised by the Aho one, but then Bergevin isn't any smarter than Benning or Dubas...

Yes because they make $$$$ on the Leaf more than any other team. That does not mean they are Leaf homers.

You don't want to admit how popular the Leafs are. Fine.

Jets fans would have gone nuts and claimed bias if there was half as many Laine offersheet stories as Marner.

Oh so now you are completely backtracking. LOL
- RogerRoeper

Backtracking on what? You've been so caught up in trying to help your team out, you are just creating lies and now you can't tell the difference between the truth and a lie.

Leafs are screwed Travis Derott offersheet is happening!!!!

Sedins-Kesler-Burrows era is gone champ. There's a difference between adding players with an aging core and a new core which you Leafs fans know all too well. See you soon

No point in feeding the trolls who don't get it. Let it lie.

If you don't believe the media in Canada serve the interests of the TML, I can't help you. I read the SN article you linked, it didn't say anything but what we can all see.

So show me proof of the Leaf favouritism? The past year it's been 100% doom and gloom.

Every RFA wants out and will leave. Cap Hell!!! Leafs are screwed!!!! That's what the Toronto media tells you 24/7

They won't criticize the Canucks for their cap situation.

Do you have any idea how the media works?

But media loves the Leafs....

I get to see "Leafs Lunch" only and during the season, the praise is insane. After they lose and hockey stops, they create as much drama as possible to keep people interested in what's going on with the Leafs. Season comes back around and some how the Leafs had the greatest summer of any team.

In the history of the media no team has ever had the negative RFA coverage the Leafs got this year.

That's alocal show though. IT's no different than any market.

And BTW, Leafs lunch has Darren Dreger on. He is non-stop negative.
