I've watched every game and right now they're more insufferable than the Flames.

You're trying to paint-it as Healy is a Leafs homer. Wow! He was crapping on them all night.

this is true and not only that the public outcry if they were to switch mid game to another game

I mean if Calgary was playing and winning or losing big - what would happen if they switched to the Edmonton or Vancouver game that was close?

The Ad fees are determined long before the game.

The Leafs are the biggest draw in Canada. Accept it.

I'm sure people would rather see a competitive game between two Canadian teams (one of them being Montreal) than see the Leafs get crushed again. They can easily switch over to different games if one is out of reach, they've done it before and they could have done it tonight.

My dad and I watched the game in Montreal and we were considering switching to the Toronto game for the hilarity

It was a blatant dive by Williams.

Mark Lee praising Luongo all game is his equivalent to shouting, "Shutout! Shutout!"

That was a damned entertaining game of hockey, even if you have no particular horse in the race... which is more than you can say for the Leafs' absolute no-show earlier.

How'd you still have so much swagger after tonight's Leafs game?

... I think Carter is happy to be out of Columbus and instead living it large in LA.
