The last time the Leafs were good, two Canadian franchises left the country in consecutive years and a third went through bankruptcy proceedings. HNIC stopped doing regional broadcasts of every Canadian team (except Quebec, thanks to the jerks at Molson), and started broadcasting the Leafs every damned week.
If you want hockey to thrive in Canada, the last thing you need is for the Toronto-based media to have an excuse for ignoring every other team in the country and inflicting their wall-to-wall Leafs coverage on a national audience.
