I know that there are some out there who don't believe that the media has a bias against the Leafs.

Example #2,345,984 that proves them wrong:

https://thehockeynews.com...ation-extremely-offensive

It's the Mike Babcock story.

This isn't some two-bit site - it's the freakin' Hockey News.

It's listed under the Toronto Maple Leafs section.

Not the Blue Jackets section.

Here's the headline:

Ex-Maple Leafs Coach Mike Babcock Deems Spittin' Chiclets Podcast Characterization 'Extremely Offensive'

And here's the first franking sentence:

Mike Babcock and Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner have officially weighed in on an allegation into the former Toronto Maple Leafs head coaching methods.

Seriously, don't ever tell me that the media doesn't like to troll Leafs Nation.

Its not about trolling or a bias, its about clicks and getting noticed. Whats the easiest way to accomplish that? Add "Maple Leafs" . Its about knowing your audience

At least he got to join the glorious ranks of the antixax hero-victims, that's worth more than those tournaments.

True, but so many players died from the vaccine he has no competition left, and no audience.

So I have no way of knowing if it is actually true or not, but there are screenshots of the guy saying very, very nasty things about a guy's wife, after said guy noted that Rogers' injury means that the Packers won't get a higher draft pick as compensation.

Like really, really nasty things about the dude's wife.

Are you implying people don't care about the Blue Jackets as much?

Because if you are.... you are absolutely right.

Has anyone from the Blue Jackets also played for the Kamloops Blazers?

What if Domi goes 3C and they move Kampf to 4C?

Bertuzzi, Matthews, Nylander
Robertson, Tavares, Marner
Knies, Domi, Jarkrok
Lafferty, Kampf, Reaves

That's not a bad line up either.

With every passing day, the signing of Reaves looks worse and worse.

He's not a guy who you want in the lineup every night, and there's talk we may only carry 11 forwards.

That math doesn't math. And I've tried mathing it all morning.

IDK Wedge, Matthews getting rag dolled by PLD, then Stamkos going after him last playoffs and then Maroon mugging him all series and all the other cheap shots that have been dealt to Marner v Thachuk, Tavares v Perry's knee, and most recently Knies v Bennett, I feel Reaves is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Also, Reaves can play. He's not Colton Orr.

Personally I like the signing.

I've wanted the Leafs to snag him when he was with the Wild.
I too like the signing but it's a wait see if it was a good one.

I want to believe. But he needs to be exponentially better than Colton Orr.

Robertson is not making the team out of training camp and will be lucky to be with the team in the new year baring injuries.. Assuming of course that he can stay healthy
