[email protected] Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Maybe--Captain of an eastern Canadian team to make the finals within recent memory or winner of Presidents trophy Who was the leaf captain in 1967---the last time they made the finals aka 45 years ago or 2.25x the years the Sens have been playing in the modern era Springsteen sings it---"Glory days....they'll pass ya by..." another failed "justification"....... Yes, it has been that long since the Leafs WON, I repeat WON, the Cup.., at least when we get there we win it. Unlike the ottawa Chokers. Would'nt bring up the obvious but the dedication is gettin kind of deep--soon in need of a shovel.
d_paluch Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I am a die hard leaf fan, but lets be realistic. They suck! They've proven this year (at times) that they can contend...but somethings just not working. Penalty kill is finally doing well, but right when that happens the team falls apart, go figure! Goaltending...I don't even need to touch that subject. All this hate on Alfie. I hate him, but only for that dirty hit on Tucker in the playoffs and same shift scores the game winner. You can't say hes not a good player. He may not have won any meaningful awards other than the Calder, but hes been consistent. Hate to say it but the Sens are just a better team. Now, if we were to swap coaches...that could be a different story There is no other team in the league that can go on such a slide when it counts and keep their head coach. I am not saying its Wilsons fault, but is it ever solely the coaches fault? Look at the majority of the teams out there who've fired their coaches this year. It is never solely the coaches fault, but the firing of a coach can really change a teams demeanor (didn't work for the Habs though ) All in all I still feel the leafs can make the playoffs this year. They just can't afford to lose many more games (obviously). I will guarantee that the Sens will have at least one more breakdown this year, lose a bunch in a row, they key is the leafs need to start a winning streak of their own. Is it sad that I still have so much faith in the team? lol Edited February 29, 2012 by d_paluch
d_paluch Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 and Phaneuf is better than Alfie solely on Elisha Cuthbert
d_paluch Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I heard Alfie won a donut on a roll-up-the-rim cup last week...does that count? Did he hold it up high and kiss it?

Oggie Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I believe Lupul is a hell of a hockey player and would be a 2nd line player on a championship team. phil kessel is a floater. if you want a floater on your top line be my guest! Geez i hate when i agree with a sens fan! Dan o.
muskymatt Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 Your own local news channels focusing on the Leafs just proves the pathetic nature your market / fan base. TSN Kipreos ex laff
muskymatt Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 You can change the channel on the TV you know,bypass that article in the paper. Better than watching the game itself....oh dont tell me you are also watching all the games,theres a shock. Moth to a flame moth to a flame. Actually it's more like flies on .....well you know!!! Bahahaha
Chance Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 TSN Kipreos ex laff There are these channels on TV that talk about all current events .They are called News channels.Each locale usually has their own that focuses on local events.TSN is not a news channel is a Sports channel. Maybe thats the issue you are having ?
Chance Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Actually it's more like flies on .....well you know!!! Bahahaha So first you admit its all about the Leafs.Then state Leaf fans are dedicated.Then finish it off with Sens fans are just a bunch of flies.Boy cant argue with that train of thought.
bushart Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 George Armstrong was the captain in 67 when they won the cup.Who was the sens last captain when they won the cup ?? A smart hockey analyst would compare them straight up Sens been back 20 years in the modern era one final appearance and a president's trophy Leafs last 20 years (to equal Sens franchise time ) Accomplished?? Beat the sens a couple rounds & ???? kept a team out of Hamilton for fear of being shown up by another Ontario franchise. Yes another successful comparison
Oggie Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Wilson could have used a bit more emotion during that post game interview. Dead on! Wilson shows NO emotion at any time and its reflected in his players. THEY AREN'T READY TO PLAY! They're down by two goals every game then they try to play catchup. Game preparation is Wilson's job. Fire him! Dan o.
muskymatt Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 No, it was stated sens fans were like moths to a flame for following the laffs demise. I simply corrected the analogy as being more like flies on crap.

Should of been gone before this.Kind of like closing the barn door when the horses are already gone.The new coach will need to be a miracle worker.
Oggie Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Anybody see the exchange between Kypreos and doug mclean last night. I think kypreos was implying the Leafs roll there eyes when Wilson talks. Mclean said then its time the coach goes or the offending player goes. Time to open that final envelope Ron! (Old coaching joke) dan o. Edited February 29, 2012 by Oggie
