small market though. Noise out of Edmonton doesn’t echo throughout the NHL.
There are more NHL fans in Edmonton than any American market.

your crazy if you think theres no pressure playing in toronto.It's bizarre that Toronto is at the top of the list.
The team hasn't won a playoff round in nearly 20 years and they still get a free ride from all of the local press and the fan base continues to pretend they are a serious contender.
If the Canadiens, Red Wings, Rangers or Flyers went as long as the Leafs have gone without any success you would see unbelievable scorn from the local media and the fanbases would be vicious.
The Toronto media, while omnipresent, are for the most part gigantic cheerleaders for the team.
I've always thought it was hilarious when Leaf fans talk about the "pressure" of playing here.

I was thinking the exact same thing. The fans and media still consider the leafs the best ever year after year even though they havent won a playoff series since 2004It's bizarre that Toronto is at the top of the list.

To pretend that the media doesn't shit on this team constantly is ridiculous. Where else would the media call your mom for a medical update, claim to follow you on your hot dog run, need I continue?

I realize you haven't been in a Canadian city. As much as the Bostons, and NY seem like hockey hot beds they don't really compare.
