Maple Leafs social media is a bad, bad place. Unintelligent, ignorant, and crass commentary makes the fans of the best NHL franchise all look like idiots, and it's time we start calling them out.

With the poor performance against San Jose fresh in their minds, the Leafs need to lean on an unlikely, offensive hero to propel them to a win in Anaheim.

Leave it to Mitch Marner to overshadow his own goal-of-the-year candidacy and a bad loss to the Sharks by throwing his team under the bus after an atrocious personal performance (outside of the goal, of course) in San Jose.

The Leafs were second best against the Sharks on Tuesday, but Mitch Marner still managed to steal the spotlight by sewering his teammates post-game.

Auston Matthews' ridiculous nickname for hardest-working Leafs player shed some light on the current state of the limping but improving Toronto team

The Leafs, against all odds, are stringing together wins and growing camaraderie amongst themselves, led by Auston Matthew and his love for his winger.

Adding Kyle Clifford made the Leafs harder to play against, but not just for HIS physical presence. Here's his assessment of a new-look Leafs firestarter.

The Leafs didn't double down on their injury-ridden roster at the trade deadline, all but ensuring a massive roster shakeup in the summer. Should the Leafs say goodbye Marner and hello to Doughty?

The Leafs are actively doing everything in their power to alienate their fan base after failing to shoot the puck on net with a 42-year-old Zamboni driver in goal for the Canes. This loss exposed why they are such an unlikeable team, top to bottom.
