    This is an issue that seems to be picking up steam. The fact that it gets under the beat reporter for the Leafs from 590 makes me want to write about it even more…. The issue, as you may recall is that the NHL doesn’t make it’s teams fully disclose [...]

    Dear Most Valuable Losers: Yesterday, continuing a long-standing trend, another Toronto reporter took a cheap shot at Leaf fans. This time it was Howard Berger who called us “losers” but we’ve seem the same cookie-cutter article from virtually everyone who covers the team. Quite frankly, we’ve had enough. As fans, [...]

    OK Leaf Nation, It’s time. It’s time we unite and demand that Roger’s fire Howard Berger. His latest blog is repugnant.
