MarcusDiGiovanni Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 sorry about the tittle I can't spell . Anyways I just thought i'd bring up the maple leaf subject once again. I believe that deep down everyone who's from Toronto or lives around Toronto ie. GTA etc. wants the leafs to suceed. I know that some people migrated from other cities and have grown attachments to other teams and thats great, what i'm talking about is people who were born and rased hear. We'd be hard pressed to have a montrealer root for the leafs Take me for example I lead everyone to believe I hate the leafs and I think I do, but theres a little place in my heart where I want the leafs to win. Now winning might not be "winning" . "winning" could be losing and getting a high draft pick so that they can pick up a talanted youngster who they can rebuild around. I played Rep hockey since I was 7 and recently quit, however I still love and follow the game, it'd be great to see them build A dynasty in the greatest hockey market in the world. . Anyways I just wanted to express my thoughts and contribute to the forums, And I know most if not all of you will disagree but HEY it gave you somthing to do for a couple of minutes didn't it PEACE, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyb Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 yep they seem to suck just enough to miss the playoffs but not enough to get a great draft pick ... Im also a habs fan but i can atleast cheer for the leafs to make the playoffs one year !!!! I like the new leafs team , they look faster and playing with tons of heart. I cant wait for the game tongiht HABS vs PENS my 2 fav teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 They've got some fast young guys, I like the way Grabovsky plays, as a matter of fact he's my friends cousin!!!. Yup pens have a solid team along with the habs, should make for a great match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Gotta rebuild sometime! Last time they were even in the running was '93-94.. To bad it took them 15 years to realize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's just too bad neither, the Leafs, Habs or Pens are any match for my Red Wings again this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's to bad the Red Wings are in a town that can't support them. When was the last time they sold out the Joe? Their ticket prices aren't bad at all. I wish they were a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 dont be surprised if come trade deadline the leafs are a total different team with a pile of draft picks and prospects in there pockets. Going to be a tough couple more years for leaf fans! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofish4me Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 The problem is, they don't need a winning team to fill the rink. The population base is big enough, they can fill the place with fans of the visiting teams. If they were hungry to fill the rink, they may do better.

If they were hungry to fill the rink, they may do better. hmmm...wonder if it's time for another team in S. Ont..maybe a little competition for the market would smarten the Loafs up...and give us true hockey fans the chance to perhaps get our hands on an affordable ticket?

uglyfish Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 until the leafs get rid of that waste of space called vesa toskola, they'll be destined for disappointment and failure. fortunatly, all us leafs fans... happen to be seasons vetrans in THAT department!

F7Firecat Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 i dont watch the leaves When they are on TV I just turn them off. MLSE is waste of time and until leaf fans realize this they will get nothing but the same they have got for the last 40 years. Sell out another one, MLSE just loves it and doesnt care to put a team on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
