I am a total closet fan for the Leafs. This is probably for the very same reason many of you hate them. The media hype is over the moon. Any time anything goes remotely well, it's like the second coming has happened. It's incredible how excited the media, and subsequently, the fans get when anything happens. Didn't they have a media story about how the locker room clock was 6 minutes early? That right there is incredible journalism.
Also, the team and the fans for the most part are just positive people. It's the complete opposite of Vancouver fans, where in Vancouver its to the point where it's not even fun to be a fan. Many fans here take it way to seriously. Toronto, on the other hand, has learned to live with mediocrity, relishing any small victories that they had. I'd much rather be a TO fan than a Canucks fan. That's for sure!
