BillM Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Yeah, I remember hearing them talk about a Cup run.... Time to lay off the crack.. They are a good 3-4 players away from that dream yet. I'd be happy with the second round of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Now saying that, it's not like they couldn't go deep, look at Ottawa. But I'm not interested in seeing the Leafs become a one-hit wonder in the league. I hope they take their time and continue the rebuild without sacrificing common sense for an expedited run at the cup. Having the Exec team they have makes that a small worry.

Old Ironmaker Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I don't follow the NHL since they went to a 44 team league. All I have to is read this thread for info and even better comic relief. You guys can be brutal with one another. Fun to read though, thanks all.

chris.brock Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I know lots of guys like the Marleau acquisition, not me, I'd rather see a young guy with some edge (I don't know if he exists in our farm clubs) take his spot, get some nhl experience and maybe make an impact and do some damage. And for christs sakes, if the game goes to a shoot out, don't send Marleau. Edited December 16, 2017 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Seems they had a decent turn out tonight. Maybe if they take the roof off their rink people will fill the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskymatt Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Blah, blah blah! Yeah the league would be a much better league without Canadian teams. Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton all have had the same talk at one point or another. Winnipeg is on round 2. Quebec gone, What the league needs to do is have more parity between the US and Canadian market or this revolving door of teams in Canada will continue. The laffs are safe because their fan base is clueless enough to support a team for over 50 years without any success. But, that said, it is not necessarily a bad thing!

dave524 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Any truth to the rumour that Bozak may be traded to Pittsburgh and join his old room mate, best buddy Kessel ? and what would the Buds get in return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could believe it because P burgh could use a little help down the middle to centre the kessel line...but who the heck do you get in return? I think youd have to be smoking crack to think that theyd give up Maatta for bozak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that said, it is not necessarily a bad thing! The Sens should take a page from the Leaf's fan handbook and support their team through thick and thin. Maybe then their owner wouldn't get fed up with their half-azzed support of the team and consider sticking around. There's no way with that fan base Melnyk is writing the cheque that Karlsson wants and he knows it'll only get worse once he's gone. It's a lose - lose in Ottawa; ..they're history, guaranteed. And truthfully, I see you as a "diehard" fan and you bailed on the Leafs and have already commented on bailing completely on the NHL....kinda speaks for the fickle fans in Ottawa. I'd hate to see Canada with one less team so here's hoping Quebec City but, I'd rather the team go somewhere where it can survive then stay in Ottawa and have to get subsidized by it's owner or be the runt of the Canadian litter. Go Leafs FREAKING Go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked Vivid Seats for Ottawa tickets. Tomorrow night Minnesota is in town and the tickets run from $16 to $110. Not bad! On Jan 20 the Leafs are in Ottawa...tickets are $142 to $501! The Leaf fans will drive 5 hours AND pay 5 times the going rate in Ottawa to watch their team play. Bet it's a "no tarps night"!!!!! Even when teams like Boston or Chicago are in Ottawa tickets start at under $30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
