The Toronto Maple Losers.

It was right there, briefly, on Wikipedia . And Wikipedia is never wrong, right?

Internet savvy Leafs fans (or Leaf haters) took their venom out on the team after a 67-2 loss to the Nashville Predators . Okay, it was only 21-2, but it felt like more. Oh, it was only 9-2? Okay.

Normally, it's Twitter, Facebook and the comments section in web articles and blogs that get the venom.

But on Tuesday night, it was Wikipedia, with bogus entries. Between the end of the game and midnight, the page dedicated to Randy Carlyle changed more than 40 times, according to the revisions history page . (It was all fixed by Wednesday morning.)



It was nearly impossible to keep up.

One referred to Carlyle as the "former coach" of the Maple Leafs.

One referred to Mike Babcock as Carlyle's "future successor" while another said Dan Bylsma was plotting a take-over.

There was a reference Carlyle's "compete level" comments, a reference to the "Toronto Maple Losers," and a mentions of the various ways Carlyle has "helped" the Leafs collapses over the years.

Wikipedia pages devoted to Dave Nonis and Phil Kessel's page were locked for editing. Carlyle's was only "semi-protected."

Here's a link to one change, and a link to another, and some screen grabs below.
