The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

It's probably a Toronto thing...people who live here finally stopped saying "we're a world class city" 5 years ago.

Because Hab and Vikings teams are analyzed realistically and accurately by the media.

LOL x 100000.

Sports Media is comprised of great analysis for 99.7% of sports teams out there. Only one fanbase is made to suffer.

to each their own...the Leaf fanbase on FI seems particularly invested in what other folks have to say about their team.

WeHave is overly obsessed about Leaf futility but I've never seen him post "can you believe what that guy said about our goaltending??""

WeHave can't believe that people in the GTA have mustaches and attributes them to copying Auston Matthews. The people here read stupid opinions, laugh, and when they're proven wrong go back to laugh at them. It's both fun and funny. And it makes any success they have that much sweeter. Ultimately we're cheering for white millionaires to "outscore" other white millionaires. It's ridiculous. At a certain point people find new angles to build passion for the game. I don't think this angle is any less "mature" or "reasonable" than having some connection to players for wearing a blue shirt. It's all dumb... This one happens to be more fun for me.

PS: I was in your boat a year or 2 ago but have since accepted how fun it is to do what we do. And I am okay with accepting that.

Why would we not talk about how hilariously stupid the league wide takes on the Leafs D are?

Literally one of the best dcorps in the league treated like they're one of the worst.

You'll never see anything like it anywhere.

The people who write for The Athletic love your D. Other than this thread, that's all I read.

Maybe go on a media diet, and keep some of your brain cells.

if your position is that the Toronto sports media, and specifically hockey media, is not unique, then I strongly disagree.

Not sure why you had to bring race into it.
 
NO...I changed my mind....keep giving the media outlets you hate your valuable attention. I'm sure that'll show them.

I'm with you. I honestly don't read anything out there apart from a random fan article or two that pop up on the feed if the deadline draws me in.

I've even stopped watching intermission stuff on HNIC because it's become so useless.

This is the way. I honestly can't name some of those muppets if my life depended on it (luckily it doesn't)
 
Not sure why we're getting policed on how to enjoy sports the PROPER way. Interesting development!!! Refer to my last post for more details on why the entire idea of fandom is ridiculous and trying to rationalize it or gain superiority over it because of how you decide to enjoy it is WEIRD!!!
