Or in this case, outright cheer for a team beating the Leafs.......that's in direct, and I mean DIRECT competition with the Flames for a playoff spot.

Obviously, if you're not a Flames fan then all of that is okay (other than it's slightly annoying to read for Flames fans that are hoping to make the playoffs), I guess I just always assumed you were a Flames fan and had it wrong?

Thank you for your comments. I agree that I favour and prioritize OOT games that are on national television. I enjoy the hype for most of those games.

I do admit that I have minimized Pacific Division teams' games because they are on Centre Ice. Fellow CP posters have messaged me this season about this and I changed a few things. The divisional opponents games are now in larger and bolded font with the pregame links on most nights.

I can be blinded by the hatred I have for the Leafs especially when it comes to national coverage of them, just like the CBC and TSN were blinded by their infatuation of the stinkin' Leafs.
