The world is so messy right now, it's a pleasure to hide out in Love Wants Us to Win, the early 90s romance set in Toronto I'm currently writing. I mean, who wouldn't want to return to a world where the World's Biggest Bookstore is a thing and Mmmarvellous Mmmuffins exists?

They also keep using the same footage of people on the street. Not the best coverage of such a beloved event.

Watching the Santa Claus Parade on @City_tv and they’re barely showing the floats. Instead, they keep interviewing families on the curb. Where are the marching bands? Where’s the music? Where are the upside down clowns? We’re seeing NONE of it @CityNewsTO

Wow. My dog could sing our anthem better than that.

Dear Jays fans, I'm not one of you, but I'm happy for your excitement. But I beg of you, please don't show up to watch game 3 with brooms in hand. That's a one-way ticket to LOSING. Signed, a superstitious Leafs fan who has seen many hockey fans do this (and then the team loses).

Hockey for me starts tomorrow and like the first day of school, I’ve already picked out my Leafs jersey and can’t wait to reunite with my friends. 💙🏒

Best thing about this place is the Leafs fans.

No player is bigger than the team. Time to move forward with the players who want to wear the blue and white. 🏒 It’s a shame Mitch is gone, but that’s hockey. Roll on next season. GLG

YAY! Four more years of John Tavares in the blue and white. I'm happy. If you're not, we can disagree. Not here for fights today. #LeafsForever

Maybe they should listen to the crowd and play music during stoppages that fans can actually sing along to? When they do, fans join in and often keep singing after the music stops. I’d know. I’m in the purples every game. Non-stop dance music doesn’t cut it @LeafsPR @MapleLeafs

Some hockey fans think they're owed a win b/c they paid X dollars for their seat or have been a fan for X years. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. You can hope for a win, but it's not guaranteed. If you can't handle your expectations or are prone to throwing stuff, stay home.

One last word about people who pitch jerseys, drinks, etc., on the ice during a loss. Sat at the top of SBA, I see most of those things never reach their intended target. They strike fans, some of which are kids. That’s asinine and dangerous. You won’t convince me otherwise.

I know tensions are high in Leaf Nation, but that’s no excuse for sexist remarks and name calling. Seeing it here, saw it last night in SBA. You know, at times I really dislike some corners of this fanbase. #LeafsForever

Oof. What a quote full of cringe. Auston, could you be any less self aware? #LeafsNation

If you toss your jersey or beer on the ice, get out of my arena. You are the WORST excuse for a fan. I don’t care how badly the team plays/loses, you don’t behave like this. Enjoy your lifetime ban from all events at SBA. Glad to see the back of you. #LeafsForever

I love my team. I always will, but right now I want to hurl several of them into the sun. 💙🏒 This hurts. #LeafsNation

We threw it away. #LeafsNation

Go Leafs Go! Let’s do this! #LeafsForever

Game 7. We can do this! GLG 🏒💙🎉 #LeafsForever

Tkachuk’s cheap shot on Woll at the whistle was worthy of a punch. I’m sure Benoit wanted to. BUT I’m glad Benny didn’t punch his lights out. He would’ve been hit w/penalties, a fine. Maybe a suspension for hitting the NHL’s golden turtle. Discipline is key for TO rn. GLG
