there was 3 crazy deflections where the puck had eyes, Bolts were the better team but had some luck on their side too for their quick start

Point's shooting percentage is 23% for the season, so he scores basically on every 4 shots he takes, not sustainable, Bolts are good but I don't think they are the 76 Habs or 80's 

 

Tampa was lucky? Head to head they're the better team 8/10 nights. Will they take the cup? They're at the head table.  Leafs? They're Still driving around the lot looking for a parking spot.

you're not even a fan of an NHL team, it's just general negativity and promoting miserable, anti societal hate

the Leaf fans on this thread, me included, are probably the most critical and realistic of the team

but we're passionate and there's a big bunch of us, in every arena, and I think that's what pisses off you loathing, miserable haters

  Was a leafs fan once but i then realized valuable energy was being wasted on the useless pursuit of something that didnt give anything positive in return. I don't hate them. I just don't care for them. But I do enjoy poking and prodding their blind, wooly and thin skinned  followers every chance I get.

   I will have to correct you on one point. What fanatics mistake for passion for a crest on any jersey is actually lunacy. I don't feel the need to belong to a fraternity of silliness but if that's your bag... fill your boots.  Im simply a fan of good hockey . Something fanatics, especially of the leafs nation variety know little about.

was a Leafs fan once, lol

I wanna do a video, in a busy place like a mall, a buddy with the camera filming, I'd ask people what their favourite nhl team is, I can pick the weirdo haters out from a mile away

 

 

Yup. Sibling helped get Leaf Tv off the ground. Went to way too many reg season games. Playoff games were way less frequent of course. There's more Chris. 

I'm not a hater. Im just not attracted  by shiny objects that hold no value. Can't wait till the playoffs!!!!!

The former 'fair weather' Leafs fans always make me laugh. I know for a fact that if we ever make the Stanley Cup finals (or lord forbid) win the cup that they'll jump right back on the bandwagon and claim they were a Leafs fan all along. ? How boring.

Maybe I'm a masochist but because the Leafs have never won in my lifetime it makes it that much more exciting because if they do win it all it will be something special. If they Jays win a world series again, it'll be nice, but I've already seen two of those. Imagine how TRUE Chicago Cubs fans must have felt when they won in 2016........ oh and how many people must have jumped back on the bandwagon after the victory.

People who say " I was a fan once" of any team in any sport will never truly understand what someone like myself or Chris is talking about and that's ok. Also I think being a fanatic and lunacy go hand in hand so that's not really an insult. 

Everyone is a fan of good things... hockey, food, fishing, weather etc. What a boring statement. When you are a true fan of a team, the highs are euphoric and the lows can crush your soul. I Personally wouldn't have it any other way.

Stay off the wagon!

Creating great memories , cheering your team is what its all about  ....albeit not the outcome we wanted ...

I remember Leafs losing to Montreal in 1977 and 1978 ... that was crazy .. (Sittler, Macdonald, Salming)

and then 92 and 93 (Kings and Canucks) ... (damn Gretzky)

but my best memory was sitting under a tarp in Algonquin Park with Mike Borger listening to Leafs vs Bruins in 2013 on a little transistor radio ...we went speck fishing but it was no way we were going to miss the play by play  ... every time the Leafs scored we were hootin and hollerin !! man we must have looked hilarious  ... great feeling being able to enjoy that with another passionate fan in a place like Algonquin Park...

Could you imagine being so pathetic that your life revolves around insulting fans of a hockey team, constantly ?

On a FISHING forum, no less.......

We get it, you don't like the Leafs, or their fans....blah blah blah.....

Is it as Pathetic as 185 pages of the blah blah blah from fanatics inane banter for a  hockey team on a FISHING Forum?

Besides it's only around playoff time  bout the time they shine up the golf clubs.

LOL no kidding eh. I like the leafs see but I am not the wacko like some fans of the team. Stating that they are the best team in the history of hockey or that Toronto is the center of the hockey universe. Really?? You would think that Montreal would be the mecca of the hockey world seeing that they have won the most cups but no, not according to the leaf fans!! Its Toronto!! This team is one playoff series and done. Seriously, 3 players making 10mil + eating up 40% of the cap space?? OH but wait the cap is going to 82 million next year so the leafs are good right? Marner, Tavares, Matthews and Nylander take up 48% of the cap space. No Marleau next year. No Gardener and no  Hainsey. They better win the cup this summer.

I don't care , it was funny, accurate and spot on for laffs fans.

I have thick skin and will admit I get riled up a bit too easy at times.

 

I like though that we can banter back and fourth and although I don't always agree with your point of view, the fact that you can back it up with statistics and information I respect that. Its when I can't even debate with people or when 'I can't argue with stupid' that I get riled up. That includes Leaf fans as well. You wouldn't believe how many people either think Tavares was a terrible pickup or wouldn't take McDavid if he wanted to come to Toronto in 5 - 6 years. It boggles the mind.

I would love to know where in the thread someone said that. Also sadly we'll still have Marleau next year. I can't see the Leafs unloading that big of a contract for an aging vet without giving something up, and from Dubas' attitude at the trade deadline I can't see that happening either. The Leafs team will change but I still think it needs a lot more experience to do some serious damage in the playoffs. Heck, how many years did it take Washington to win their cup? And you could argue that Ovetchkin, Semin, Backstrom, Green are a better core then Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Riley.

Thanks Brian. I see that you have done well on Simcoe this winter.

Still enjoying Pete.  Thanks

Leafs better get running on all 4 lines. Freddy needs to be rested. The leafs are not going to get home advantage. Rest freddy now.

Geezus. Another unbelievably bad 1st period.

That’s it. I’m out. I am now a good hockey fan only. 

Leafs suck. Their fans are dumb. This thread is stupid. 

That about sums it up. The first step with dealing with your disease is to admit you have one. Still won't save you but when hope is all you have ever had.......

Also like the first statement which was insight only a astute leaf fan could provide. Well done!!!
