Sounds like a plan, I wouldn't mind seeing more of Chicago's brand of exciting hockey.

1) RDS is a private company not a crown corporation
2) I wouldn't care if RDS showed a Pens/Caps game over a Habs game if the Habs game promissed to be a snoozer.

"Leaf Nation" is a bunch of sheep following a bloated irish media whore of a shepherd. I'm sure Leafs fans (there's a difference) could handle a little variety in their life.

Cole is old and past his prime. It is simply time for him to retire so that he leaves people remembering the Old Bob Cole and not this shadow of his former self.

It's not force feeding, it's the market. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Following that logic should CBC even bother with Canadian teams? Why not just put Chicago on every Saturday. It'd likely be the most entertaining game.

HNIC is CBC's biggest revenue generator. The Leafs have the biggest audience and produce more revenue that any other team. HNIC doesn't exist to carter to a diversity of fans.

Montreal gets played on RDS as it draws more interest than the Leafs would in Quebec. That's fair.

Vocal minority? Leaf Nation is the dominant market, take HTR as a sample, its basically Leafs vs the rest.

Mistakes? Cole's voice and style is his bread and butter, who cares about a mistake here and there?

Obviously Junior has never heard the saying: "keep quiet and let people think you're an idiot, or say something and prove it"

Do you feel better now? Did Daddy not hug you enough when you were a child? (that is, if you are in fact an adult now and not just some 12 year old flexing his internet muscle.)

CBC generally runs things in a manner where Quebec gets the Montreal game as the early game and the rest of the country gets the Leafs game as the early game.

I see no reason why, if they're gonna force feed people one game, at least show the best game you can. Now some Saturday nights this will probably be the Leafs game, say if they're playing a team like Washington, or Pittsburgh. Other nights it might be Montreal or Ottawa, or even one of the Western teams if they happen to be playing in the East on that particular day.

What most people are tired of is being forced to watch a horrible hockey game when there is an obvious alternative game out there.

It's like it's turning into the 1980's, when the Leafs where horrible and in the horrible Norris division. Crap hockey broadcasted because of a vocal minority.

I don't think Bob Cole is their best talent anymore. He makes way to manny mistakes.

It was about 1000 people, roughly the same size poll they take to predict the outcomes of elections. (accurately)

And that doesn't happen with Montreal I guess?

Regardless, I didn't expect ML fans to have a shortage of reasons why that poll doesn't count but any number of other arbitrary determining factors, which happen to "favour" the leafs, at least in their fans eyes, would.
