Now if you're counting Stormin' Norman as "media", fine. But the real media -- Strachan, Cox, Berger, McCown, etc. -- spend all their time crapping all over the Leafs for everything they do. Compared to a town like Ottawa, where the media practically wave pom-poms in the press box, the Toronto pundits never think the team will do anything right.

Or am I out of the loop, not living in T.O. anymore?

I know that for me, personally, I had bbor's impression of the Toronto media. I think more than anything it's because of these message boards I've been reading where everyone seems to think the Leafs will get everyone in the league to play for them at terribly low prices. But I know for me that is definitely the vibe I get from T.O.
