This is completely untrue. Just go to his Twitter feed right now. Lots of talk of other team's and advanced stats, Drouin, Team Canada, ETC.
Again, he's from Kamloops BC and only is reporting on the Leafs for career opportunities.
In fact, those 3 examples posted on the previous page of him reporting about the Leafs were sandwhiched between several stories of other teams. The way those 3 stories were cut and pasted you would have thought it was 100% about the Leafs.
You completely lose credibility by dismissing the idea of Mirtle as an advanced stats guy. That's all he's known for.
