No one is more beloved – and thus no one is more under the microscope than the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Being a fan of the Leafs is great because there is basically unlimited coverage. You can get as much of a fix as you need for your favorite team without any trouble at all.
This was true before the internet, and it’s even more true now. With unlimited options it means it’s pretty easy to find people who tell you what you want to hear – what you already believe – and stick with that.
