So you're saying that because certain stereotypes persist for areas outside of Toronto that Torontonians themselves should just suck it up and accept stereotypes directed towards them? That makes no sense. The sensible thing is just to avoid sweeping generalizations in general.
As for this idea of splitting off the Canadian teams into a separate league, I would argue this: as a matter of history and shared culture the U.S. northeast belongs with Canada. I'm super excited to see the Wings and Leafs share a division again. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the league contract in the south and expand in the north.
