Leafs continue the suffering

[AlphaDog]

The Leafs won again. IN regulation, against Philly. 3-2.

WHY... WHY WHY WHY

Why not just END the suffering. Allow the INEVITABLE to happen so that people can be at ease again. It's GOING to happen, there's no WAY they'll make it in. Get it over with now and both the fans and the players can just have fun.

I'm beyond agitated with this team. For the last 2 seasons and now this year, they decide to stage a heroic playoff run when there's a slim to none chance of making it. To be brutally honest, I'm tired of watching a playoff contender - I'd like to watch a Stanley Cup contender!!!! For the good of this team I want them to tank but then I see them play like they did in the 3rd against the Flyers and get sucked back into rooting for them. :confused1: Dammit!

Hey - I haven't sat down and watched a Leaf game from start to finish YET this year. Usually now I have it on in the background while I'm working on the forum :D

[leafs_fan77]

I usually just watch the third period haha. Or have it on in the background when I'm on the computer as well.

[IceDogs5]

Well the suffering is over...for this season anyways. Now, PLEASE start playing Raycroft - chalk up as many losses as possible....PLEASE!!!!!

Once I didn't see them in the first little bit, I knew to head straight to the bottom..LOL

Yes I must admit, it is very satisfying being a Colts fan! At least you have that, Kevy! lol.

Hab fans are only #73? I'm pretty happy with them!:hurray:

I dont think you understand the hate of Knick fans towards that team. They had demonstrations in the middle of NYC to fire the coach.

They're obviously much more intelligent than Leaf fans - Leaf fans are like Knicks fans I guess except the difference is they CONTINUE to pour out all their money for tickets and merchandise, feeding the bank accounts of the MLSE owners. Leafs fans whine and complain (me being one of them) but that's about where their frustrations end. If things aren't at least LOOKING to be turned around by a month into the season next year, they should start holding nightly protests with picket signs in front of the ACC before every game.

At least with Fletcher at the reigns right now, we know at least that he's not scared of making drastic changes.

But if there's not a MINIMUM of 10 fresh faces in the opening lineup - with 5 being key player changes - then I will be disappointed. Even if it means trading a 50 point player for just another 50 point player with a different name, do it just for the sake of change! We need a new team, with new management.

Damn straight! At least i picked one great team :D

I find it funny however....
the leafs and raptors are owned by MLSE
so how come for the leafs, the owners ranked 108
but with the raptors, the owners ranked 51.
as well, for the stadium rankings,
the raptors ranked 40,
the leafs ranked 96.
They both play out of the ACC....
i could understand things like ushers and friendly beer people or whatever to affect the ratings a little bit, but not that much....As much as i KNOW the leafs should be ranked 2nd to last, i still think something a little fishy is going on with their ranking system
also good to see that the leafs ranked LAST in affordability(who could've guessed)
either way, its still humorous to see that.

Brendan:

It's a survey of each team's fanbases.

Obviously, Raptors fans think more highly of the ACC and MLSE than Leafs fans do.

[brendan_435]

hm, i must have missed that part
