You only have to look at front page of TSN or how much Sportsdesk is dedicated to the Leafs to know that they are used to being catered to. I don't think we (people in Western cities) can understand the dynamic in Toronto. We make fun of Americans for not knowing much about Canada or any countries outside of their border but a lot of Torontonians aren't particularly interested in what happens outside their city as it's all about Toronto. There aren't a lot of NHL fans in Toronto just lots of Leafs fans and a team like the Calgary Flames may as well be the Phoenix Coyotes for all they care as no Toronto, no care.
