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)

The entire discussion was brought about because Mirtle was thought of as some guy from Toronto who loves the Leafs. in a post This is not correct.
If you want to suggest he's got this opinion to be popular with Leaf fans, why then does he rip them so much? I believe my comment on him being a "Stats Geek" and basing his opinions on them is absolutely true. Want proof? Read his Twiiter feed. Everything is advanced stats.
