HNIC may drop Leafs nationally

Whoa! Didn't see this one coming. Must have been a lot of backlash from not showing the Habs/Sens game.

The next two weeks are
audience locks -- with the Leafs visiting Vancouver and Montreal. But
if Toronto's record still stinks after that, the CBC won't hesitate to
adjust the picture in its national distribution.

"After that, we may start to play with how much of the country
sees the Leafs or the Sens or the Habs based on team performance and
matchup," Scott Moore, the executive director of CBC Sports said
yesterday in an e-mail.

If the Leafs win even 3 games over the next two weeks, CBC won't drop a thing. It'll be standard operating procedure...

about freaking time, even if the Leafs weren't stinking, not all people are fans of the Leafs, distribute the games evenly, it's pretty bad that a Toronto game against Florida would be played over say the Sens-Habs or Flames - Habs, you know, any match up of canadian teams. Good job on getting your heads out of your a$$es CBC.

Bullpoop.

It's more than just eyeballs here, though. Just because the Leafs are still drawing well (although I'd argue 1.7M is less than 0.6% of the country's population -- if the 1.7M was households, then as 2.2 per that's still only 1 in 8 households) doesn't mean a game like Habs/Sens wouldn't do just as well if not better. Plus there's the whole business of the CBC being funded by our tax dollars and having a mandate to promote Canadian heritage and all.

Leafs tickets are being sold at half face value. Leafs fans are expressing their disappointment in online forums. Waiting lists for season tickets are growing shorter. The tide of change is upon us. Rise up Leafs Nation! Join the rest of us in this outside joke called the Toronto Make Me Laughs.

Well, at least this was a little more imaginative than "File this under I couldn't care less".

Isn't she fat now? I haven't seen her recently, but I remember there being some stir about her in a bikini. I admit, I probably don't keep up with the celebrity happenings as some others do.

Does this mean you have a fetish for girls with B.G.D(Big Girl Disorder)?

Oh she was great, she also brought me a beer when I was done, made me dinner, and before she left for work she told me I didnt have to get out of bed.

See guys, thats a lie, like what CBC is doing... crazy CBC.

How is 1.7 million people less than 0.6% percent of the population? Last time I checked there aren't 283 million people in Canada. Am I missing something here?
