Wamsley01 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Living in T.O. I have to live in the center of Leaf Nation, which includes all the Local Media :puke: The Toronto Media (TSN/Sportsnet/Star etc etc) are now crediting the Kids with turning the Leafs season around.....hmmm does this story sound familiar? They are so unoriginal. Apparently the Leafs charge has been led by Coliacovo, Stajan and Steen and the future has never looked brighter in Leafland. Look at the difference between the kiddie corps on the Habs and Leafs and their production lately. Leafs Kids Coliacovo 6 points in 10 games 4 of the 10 games he has been held pointless Stajan 5 points in 13 games 10 of the 13 games he has been held pointless Steen 3 points in 11 games 8 of the 11 games he has been held pointless Habs Kids Kostitsyn 9 points in 9 games 3 of the 9 games he has been held pointless Higgins 12 points in 13 games 5 of the 13 games he has been held pointless Plekanec 13 points in 12 games 4 of the 12 games he has been held pointless Add to the fact that Halak was named 3rd star of the week last week and one story seems genuine and the other seems to me to be fabricated to show that the Leafs have just as bright a future as the Habs. The Habs get ZERO credit with the Toronto media and instead of covering them and asking what happened during our second half swoon, most of them say I told you they were no good. OK, it is off my chest, rant is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) can't really fault the TO media for not hyping Montreal. Their job is to cover the leafs, not the habs. Now the "national" media is another story, but can we really be so surprised at this point? That all being said, the numbers you cite gives reason to be less than overwhelmed by the Toronto kids.

I guess living here you treat TSN/CBC/TheScore/Sportsnet etc as T.O. Media when they are not. That being said, the kids are not carrying the Leafs, that is ridiculous.

Dirty Harry Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Steen 3 points in 11 games wow he's on fire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 If anything I'd go as far as saying Steen has been a big disappointment so far for the Leafs. This is the kid many considered to the guy Mats Sundin has been waiting for to play with and despite being in his 2nd season in the NHL, he's still struggling. If anything, it's Wellwood and his prepubescent 12 year old face that should be getting the spotlight in TO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Well Coliacovo is a defenseman but alas the kids for the Leafs are playing well and the Leafs are one of the hottest teams in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
