To suggest that the media is out to get us, as many here do, is just plain paranoia. We have made our bed and these are the consequences.

The Jets reached when they took Morrissey and that was a savvy pick. The BJ's who had been the laughing stock for over a decade until last season passed on Shinkaruk TWICE and also reached for Dano, yet no criticism for those picks. Oh right, they have a shiny new GM that everyone likes to praise although he hasn't proven anything... so they obviously can't criticize him.
The Leafs were garbage for 20 years and they never took the kind of abuse from TSN that Calgary has the last few years. It's okay if you don't agree with us, but you have to understand that we can just as easily call you delusional as you can call us paranoid.
