How does this guy still have a platform? It appears that his buffoonery extends beyond just things involving the Leafs.

he's really standing his ground lmfao the threads getting large


When people say 'Toronto Media' with a stank on it, they literally just mean Steve Simmons.

Steve Simmons is one of those reporters who sucks and helps other fanbases hate his team

Welcome to Steve Simmons. Leafs fans that can string a sentence together absolutely hate him.

Only reason he has a platform is because his employers are scum and the Toronto Sun thrives off outrage and whatever publicity they can get.

Oh I’m well aware of his antics. I’m just surprised he’s branching out past Toronto now.

Steve Simmonds

An anti Dubas **** boy and a man that the entire leafs and raptors team would love 5 minutes with without security stopping them from teaching him a valuable lesson on manners. Oh and also include the entire city of Toronto besides a minor group of annoyances.

The fact he still is employed by the Sun made me stop asking for their papers and I made sure to let them know every time they call to offer me a deal lul.

Quest for the Stanley Cup: Episode 3 - And then there were Four

So I was watching this today, and there’s 2 things I noticed.

Before game 2, Jon Cooper says “When the other team thinks you have 7 players on the ice…” And later that night, the Lightning score with 7 players on the ice. (23:13)

Also, when Stamkos is arguing against the Point goaltender interference penalty, he refers to Point as “the best player in the league”. Which is high praise from a guy who is on a team with a Hart winner, a Norris/Conn Smythe winner, and a Vezina winner. (25:30)

No its because of the location. Not many people want to go play in Winnipeg. Like Manson didnt want to waive his M-NTC to go there.


Which is weird cuz that's the first place I'd go lol.

But that's cuz its the closest to home.

I don't think I got the least favorite teams exactly right. I think I used no opinion on too many teams I'm really just indifferent towards. Vegas probably is still in my bottom 3, but not Chicago and Columbus.

Favorites:
1. Canes (No Explanation Needed)
2. Islanders (I love watching them play when I can't watch the Canes. I like the team in general too.)
3. Oilers (I've always liked the team and McJesus makes them 10x better)

Least favorites:
1. Bruins (They're Boston)
2. Capitals (Mean team with some toxic fans. Wilson makes them even worse, and as a Canes fan, we've seen their darkest shade.)
3. Coyotes (Not much good to say about the team. Or their management. Just a complete mess. Simply just not a very exciting team.)

I think this ranking site did pretty well. Thanks for sharing!

I'm indifferent towards Florida. I respect Barkov too much to dislike him and Huberdeau is amazing to watch, albeit annoying when you're the other team. Fan base isn't terrible either.

Maybe some of that begins to change if they stay competitive though.

1 New York Islanders- duh
2 Minnesota Wild- have some family from Minny+beautiful jerseys
3 Winnipeg Jets- likeable, wanted them to win it all back in 2018
4 St. Louis Blues- funny story, before the year they won the cup I predicted them to win it, and some clerk at the nhl store in nyc laughed at me when I said that
5 Buffalo Sabres- I feel sorry for them
6 Carolina Hurricanes- won the cup w them
7 Columbus Blue Jackets- going to college in ohio
8 Florida Panthers- very likeable team this year
9 Montreal Canadiens- want them to win this year
10 Ottawa Senators- csick
11 Arizona Coyotes- feel kind of bad for them+kachina jerseys
11 Colorado Avalanche- so fun to watch
13 Anaheim Ducks- just a likable team tbh
14 Vegas Golden Knights- Robin Lehner
15 New Jersey Devils- have exciting young pieces, when they become good I’m gonna start not liking them lol
16 Connor McDavid

18 Vancouver Canucks- it’s funny watching the fanbase around on July 1st every year
19 Calgary Flames- they aight
20 Los Angeles Kings- surprised they aren’t higher tbh, pretty likable
21 Nashville Predators- ugly piss yellow jerseys
22 Dallas Stars- booooooring
22 Detroit Red Wings- boooooooooooooooring
24 Philadelphia Flyers- would hate them more if they could do anything right
25 Tampa Bay Lightning- Should be lower I’m really starting to hate them (not their fans tho on this site u guys r cool)
26 San Jose Sharks- Doug Wilson sucks
27 Washington Capitals- Ovi and Backstrom is the only thing keeping u out of the bottom 3
28 Toronto Maple Leafs- self explanatory
28 Boston Bruins- Bruce Cassidy is such a weenie

But I"ll say what my favourite and least favourite are without it:

1. Leafs- Self explanitory
2. Jets- They live the closest to me (hometown team basically).
3. Habs- I always like whichever Canadian team is doing best (subject to change frequently).
4. Sens- I think they'll be really good in 5 years or so, fun team to watch.
5. Flames- Also close to me, and the oilers drive me crazy (like the leafs should lol)
6. Pens- Sid the kid.
7. Avs- They are good, plus they have Landy (I'm a OHL ranger fan, plus my dad has met him)

3. Arizona- Move them already
2. Vegas- They beat the jets when they shouldn't have
1. Boston- self explanitory.
