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.

- RogerRoeper

Because the Canucks aren't the centre of Canada. Why would they care about the Canucks when the Leafs have bigger problems.

I figure that the media has learned to play on the hearts of Leafs fans to keep them interested after hockey ends.

So the media serves MLSE by stating every RFA is leaving for an entire year. Gotcha.

And when they are wrong about Marner and he signs withb the Leafs, the talk turns to "Next Summer" Leafs are screwed!!!!

LOL. This is nuts. No team gets treated like this.

Leaf fans can't even get actual hockey talk. It's all about every player leaving. That even happened in the playoffs.

So back to the Canucks.

Anybody seen the schedule for today? More on ice sessions?

Split games vs Calgary tomorrow. I'm guessing haven't seen who is going where yet and whether who goes to Calgary might get day off.

The blinders are strong with you. The hyperbole here now is the Canucks can't sign Boeser because they are in cap hell. Do they have to be careful moving forward? Yes, but they could sign Boeser to an identical contract as Marner and still make it under on day 1. But Bnning is still an idiot IMO...

The Toronto media is not saying that at all. I am. That's the difference.

Most likely top 6 on both will stay home ...any bubble players will get top line minutes on the road ...Brock and Mathew will be no where to be seen

Whatever Benning did or didn't do is irrelevant. Do you honestly believe what Dubas managed this summer made the team better? For the most part all he did was squeeze extra cap space (at a significant cost) to bring all the same guys back. The guys who dissolved like the tissue you cried into last spring. I like Kerfoot, but he's a shrimp, Reilly and Barrie are good, but beyond that they are still another season away from reinforcements. Benning might have shot his load early, but Dubas just got herpes, and that poop is for life.

Also for you Pom Pom waiving fan boys, I'm not defending Benning, he's still a boob.

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

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

But Leafs are contenders. Canucks have not made the playoffs. Notice Leafs only traded a 1st this past season?

Spezza at 700K is a fantastic signing. But please, keep giving Jay Beagle's 3 million per for 4 years on the 4th line.

Lou signed that Marleau deal. They had to do it. But you know what? Marner is locked-up. All their core is signed. Vancouver wasted all their cap and Boeser is still unsigned.

Wasn't Marner signing an offersheet, NYlander traded, and Marleau and Zaitsev could not be moved? Admit it, Leafs had a fantastic summer

No other team gets the coverage the Leafs get

You get on the TSN site, look at a team other than the Leafs, play one video, the next video to autoplay is a Leafs video.

You probably have never seen reports on other teams, it is a shocker that the Leafs and Toronto media are aware there are other teams in the league. Other teams are only relevant if there is a trade, possible offer sheet or Frank Corrado is available on waivers.

Do you not understand they cover the Leafs the most because they make the most $$$ off of them? It isn't because they are Leaf fans and just want to show them.

They are Leaf fans. Don Cherry gets on there and talks about how he has season tickets.

Toronto media is national media. Leaf lunch is broadcast nationally.

You hear how every Toronto team should be Canada's team. When the Blue Jays started, one of the lines said was Canada finally has a mlb team. Toronto media chose to ignore the existence of the Expos.

They cover the Leafs the most because that is where the networks have the most reporters.

It is similar to watching canadian news and seeing all these stories from the states, because the video is cheap and there aren't enough local canadian reporters being paid to report local canadian news.
