An Open Letter to Leafs Nation

<p>Dear Most Valuable Losers</p><p>Yesterday, continuing a long-standing trend, another Toronto reporter took his shot at Leaf fans. This time it was Howard Berger calling us "losers" but we've seem the same cookie-cutter article before from virtually everyone who covers the team.</p><p>Quite frankly, we've had enough. </p><p>As fans, we believe that those most deserving of our praise and our scorn are directly inolved in the game, whether it's on the ice, in the press box or in the executive corridors. Fans don't pencil in the starting five, make bad trades, or write the headlines of the day and shouldn't be blamed (or praised) for the totals in the wins and loss column.</p><p>Hockey may be just a game but it's also a passion. If you're looking for passionate hockey coverage that offers insight and humour and you're sick of being blamed for supporting a team you're passionate about, you have a better option. </p><p>It's time to leave the media superstars behind. There's compelling, timely, wide-ranging content waiting just for you online in the Barilkosphere.</p><p>Many have found this better way of following the Leafs, but not every Leafs fan has been so lucky. Please send this message to your fellow Leaf fans via e-mail or postings on message boards and let them know that they do have a choice.</p><p>We hope you'll join us here in the Barilkosphere and become regular readers.</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/" target="_blank">Pension Plan Puppets </a></li><li><a href="http://battleofontario.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Battle of Ontario</a></li><li><a href="http://bigsmokesports.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Big Smoke Sports</a> </li><li><a href="http://bitterleaf.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bitter Leaf Fan</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.coxbloc.com/" target="_blank">Cox Bloc </a></li><li><a href="http://diehardblueandwhite.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Hard Blue and White </a></li><li><a href="http://downgoesbrown.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Down Goes Brown </a></li> <li><a href="http://hescoreheshoot.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">He Score, He Shoot! </a></li><a href="http://generalborschevsky.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Just Your Usual General Borschevsky</a> </li><li><a href="http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/" target="_blank">Leafs at Hockey Analysis </a></li><li><a href="http://www.mapleleafshotstove.com/" target="_blank">Maple Leafs Hot Stove</a></li><li><a href="http://oldguysinblue.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Old Guys in Blue and White</a></li><li><a href="http://thepassionthatfrus...usall.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Passion That Frustrates Us All</a></li><li><a href="http://repressedoptimism.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Repressed Optimism</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.sportsandthecity.com/" target="_blank">Sports and the City </a></li><li><a href="http://torontosportsmedia.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Toronto Sports Media</a></li><li><a href="http://wwold.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wonderful World of Loser Domi </a></li></ul>
