Would that happen with the exact same stats on the Leafs?

Don't really know or care to think about it. I reallllyyy don't care about Kessel or Bozak or the Pens that much. I wasn't trying to say Mirtle is a "fan" so to speak but obviously he is a Leafs guy. His twitters is 50% Leafs content. So like Spector with Calgary he might not like them but he writes the sensationalist content to generate hits like everyone else.
So this "Mirtle isn't a Leafs fan" is sort of missing the point. He is a card carrying member of the media who covers that team. He wrote a bait article for an intended audience (you)
