I forgot to add that little rant to my post earlier this morning.
The habs are battling for 1st place in the East. And what game is on the CBC yesterday? The leafs?
I swear to god there’s nothing dumber than Maple Leafs fan. These are quite literally the stupidest sports fans on the planet. So why are the Leafs on CBC EVERY Saturday night, even though there’s 5 other Canadian teams? Because the people who work for the CBC are all Leafs fans, and therefore are apparently under the belief that the entire country loves watching the Leafs.
What’s not to love? A dysfunctional team, with shitty overpaid players, defensemen that can’t skate or move the puck. Forwards that cannot score. A collection of cheap shot artists (although without Belak, Domi and minus Tucker for large parts of the season, they’re dangerously close to losing that rep), and a mentally handicapped GM that’s been replaced by someone who has to taken his Alzheimer’s meds every morning. Who wouldn’t want to watch that team instead of a team that’s competing for 1st place?
Usually people who share my above opinion would rant about Don Cherry at this point. Personally I don’t mind Cherry. Anyone who takes Cherry without a grain of salt, probably has a pickle shoved up their pooper. Cherry is a homer. But at least he’s honest about it. He doesn’t try to hide the fact that he openly roots for the Leafs and despises everything Hab related…I wonder why that might be (heh, heh)
That doesn’t bother me. Also for someone who is repeatedly accused of being misogynistic,racist and homophobic…well how many straight guys wear outfits like this?
The problem is not Don Cherry. The problem is with the CBC. A NATIONAL network that ALL Canadians pay for, that has somehow been usurped by the Toronto Maple Leafs and been transformed into their version of the Yankees YES network. This offends me as a habs fan, as a hockey fan, and as a tax-paying citizen. I would like to officially call for a moratorium of the Leafs on CBC. Ideally this would be for a 10 year period but I’m willing to negotiate. Unfortunately I understand that the CBC executives are still busy trying to figure out how to get their hands out of the vending machine.

The CBC is a national network. It should start acting like one. Otherwise Hockey Night in Canada has no business being on CBC. Who knows maybe the TV executives might figure out that people enjoy watching hockey even if the motherfucking Maple Leafs aren’t playing.
