I wonder if Swayman will get the start going forward. I know they were alternating but he is the much better goalie imo.

Toronto will come out hot playing at home today especially if nylander is playing.

The cover of today's Toronto Sun is why I laugh when other fans across Canada whine about how Toronto media favours the Leafs and are biased towards them. I've always felt that the media here are unreasonably hard on the Leafs and put in that extra effort to completely destroy them any chance they get.

Simmons, especially is the worst culprit.

It's one thing to write that article but how did it get on the front page of the paper? Embarrassing.

national media (ie SN, TSN, HNIC) favour Leafs. The Sun has always been a tag so that’s no surprise.

The picture and headline are outrageous for sure.

The article itself is bang on though.

Hard to go after Simmons on this one as he doesnt decide headlines nor images for the front page.

Please tell me we aren't using a Sun newspaper and Steve Simmons as the representation of Canadian media.

That's like using this season's San Jose Sharks as the representation of professional hockey.

Simmons is just Toronto's Eric Francis.

Why don't players want to play in hockey markets?!

Front page is wild but all newspapers are trying to sell subscriptions. The Sun knows their fanbase is blue collar. But they’re right. Marner has been visiting absent.

The Sun is NG

Complete garbage and hardly "news"

The only thing that keeps it alive is the sunshine girl lol (is that even a thing now?)

Marner is invisible though in my opinion. He's built for the pre-season.

Simmons is much worse - when he left here for the centre of the universe, it was a case of “Toronto’s loss is Calgary’s gain!’.
At least Francis makes contributions at the community level.
