What do think Chris Kelly is saying to Bergeron & Marchand “Look you guys piss excellence, keep doing that”

Cuthbert and Simpson aren’t Toronto announcers … they are (sadly): the main crew from HNIC
And that’s the crazy part. But since all media here originates in Toronto, the light all bends toward it.

It’s probably similar to the perception of an East Coast bias in American media. Coverage is going to center on the population center. In the US, it’s vaguely the Atlantic coast, maybe a little toward the northeast. In Canada, it’s Toronto/Montreal.

Quoted for truth. And if you lot think Leaf fans are insufferable it pales in comparison with what other Canadian fan bases think - who generally despise all things Toronto. And for dammed good reasons all and all.

HNIC shows all the Canadian teams. The Leafs usually get the main early slot if they play on Saturday (unlike in my early years when it was always the fucking Habs)
I think everyone in these threads (and I’m certain the vets like @cshea know that), but I do think the combination of 1/3 of the country living in southern Ontario and the Leafs being far and away the only Canadian team truly capable of contending for the Cup means SN is selling out hard on the Leafs. It’s right up there with the network rallying ‘round the flag when a Canadian team makes it deep over the last few years.

You just made my point. They are more or less the same team as last year ..unless the new coach is a genius ? Or this years goalie has stood on his head?
I know a lot of people answered you, but they have a +65 Goal differential.. and have scored the most goals in the league. The next best team in terms of goal diff is +36.

Well, we certainly get enough of of that with the Blue Jays. Personally speaking, nationalism is irrelevant with club sports.
