The Habs also have a lot of media coverage, both in French and English.
I'd like if they did a behind the scenes program starting next year or something. After 24/7, not this year.
Its true that the Habs have a great following, but its probably a 3.5 million population difference between the Greater Montreal (including Gatineau) and the GTA.
You think it would be smart for the Leafs to capitalize on the popularity and buzz around a team that actually has some potential. I'm sure if you let Rogers and Bell starting bidding on it, it would be additional revenue for the team and players.
I think that there would be a correct way to handle doing a show like this and make it so it wasn't just "another media outlet" attitude in the city. There is just so much content in this city that the content is saturated down and it really pin points almost useless facts about the team.
I'm sure you could sell to Leafs nation and casual fans that the team is still really young. You've got Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner, Nazem Kadri, Josh Leivo, and JVR all still under the age 25. I'm sure you could get the female crowd excited with Lupul promos in the body issue. There are still lots of ways to go about this because a majority of the team isn't married and are still living in the bachelor life style. And as a male around the age of some of these guys, that's what you truly wanted as a kid.
