Just gossip for the 43 different Leafs beat reporters and radio shock jocks who are trying to out do each other to stir up melodrama...which their fans both expect and crave to make their team seem more vibrant then it is.

Just like the Brodie thing in Game 2 of the season. Lamneting his presence for remainder of his contract and the worse defenseman since Jeff Finger, according to all accounts and concerned Leaf fans, but soon the next bouncing ball issue takes away the fan and media attention out there to something else that requires TSN and Sportsnet to take up air time to discuss.

Marner will sneeze in an interview next game and the Tkachuk thing will be forgotten out there because the stories will focus on "What happens if all the Leafs get Covid, can the NHL go on? And, "is the old dirty Saddledome to blame for Marner's sneeze (and the assumption is made it's covid) after two games in a row here?".
