Yes the vancouver canucks make the finals game 7, yet come out and lose 4-0. Way to be vancouver, way th show the hockey world that you guys are competitive yet alone come out strong for the last game to win the cup. You are not canadas team. The End.

I'm not being cocky and arrogant... I hate Kesler and his stupid diving... hes too good to be doing that poop. There are a lot of things about the Canucks that bother me... but right now this team has a good opportunity to win the cup.. their window is closing and I'm getting anxious.. I've been a fan for about 15 years.. and overall the quality of hockey I have witnessed has been great... and right now.. all this team has left to prove is winning the cup.

I shake my head at people who think Lu wouldn't help your team... that they don't care about missing the playoffs... or that they see no difference in making it to game 7 of the SCF or missing the playoffs. Those are stupid comments.

You are correct, those are stupid comments. Except for the Luongo one. Clearly he would help us now, but everybody has their own opinion and many people legitimately don't think its worth it because of the contract.

Exactly, the window is closing which is why the arrogance bothers me. If you guys don't win anything the city is going to look worse than it already does. The Leafs were competitive for many years before this playoff drought. Things can change fast.

i will correct you. canada was behind edmonton and calgary but not ottawa. so much is media related and hnic is too critical of vancouver. when the lose the contract and tsn takes over saturday night, things will change for the better because national coverage won't be leaf based.

you say we won't win with this core but 1. the core has changed already with schneider and JG and 2. toronto doesn't even have a core.

to the L.A. guy. dude you had an amazing once in a generation run. it was still an 8th placed team and you have some terrible long term deals to work with. you had your cup. you'll miss the playoffs in 2014 when the league next resumes.

and i'll add that i actually like the kings. i'm not a complete dink.

No players who win hart trophies and art ross trophies should be called sisters. They are skilled players... they don't play a rough and tumble game. They are paid to score goals and help this team win on the scoreboard. How many fights has Kessel been in?

Hank is the 2nd leading iron man in the league right now.. just behing Jbo... obviously he is tougher than people give him credit for.

Fans who blame Lu for every shortfall of this team are idiots... real fans... the people who actually follow hockey and this team know Lu has been great.. and gave this team a great chance to win.

- kneughter



You morons blame luongo for your downfall of the final game for the cup, yet the scoreboard clearly shows 4-0... where was the rest of your team? Way to remain competitive. That game was the poorest excuse of a hockey final ever.

The thing is, I don't mind it if someone calls Kessel a sissy. I think the Sedins play like cowards.

I'm a pretty level headed fan... I admit the shortcomings of this team.. and that our fanbase is mostly filled with idiots.

I'm not going to pretend like this is the best team in the league... but when TO fans start a pissing match about which team is better and their only argument is 0 cups... 0 cups... 0 cups.. or throwing pictures of rioting out there.. it tends to get old. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but I try not to let blind hatred get in the way... I actually like Kessel... I feel he is better than people give him credit.. also I'm a big fan of Grabo... and would love Gardiner on my team. I think Dion is a mistake.. and that Reimer is more of a 1b type goalie. Just my opinion at least. I think TO.. with a quality goalie would be on a good path.

Why do leafs fans have little man syndrome? You feel the need to lash out, and prove your better, when you have no grounds to even be talking about whos has the better team. As far as terrible long term deals, please, help us get rid of quick. Or drew. They are killing us.

Ya dont get me started with that game.. I was there. In my eyes... Daniel Sedin was the biggest disappointment in that finals. He was pretty much one of only healthy top 6 guys.. and played invisable... We had I believe 7 guys have surgery in the off season that year.. a lot of guys banged up.. and the biggest loss was Hamhuis and Edlers broken finger(s).

IF we had won... we would have been the lowest scoring team to win the cup in post-expansion history. You can't win a cup with 8 goals in the final 7 games.

You guys lost 4-0 in the final, some heroes you got on your team to make a comeback Some motivation your coach has for motivating his players ... and i dont even blame luongo for that game because after that first goal thatt was scored, and this goes for any team, gotta regroup and go hard and press, but your team looked like a house league team who was lost out there and didnt know what to do which was pathetic. Canadas team? I dont think so

They were behind Ottawa more than Vancouver.

You won't win with that core. It's still the same main guys. Schneider's decent but doesn't have a huge body of work, especially over a full season as a number one. Garrison has 16 goals and 17 assists on his resume. I know he had a few points before last season but you guys locked him up after he had a decent season playing in a non hockey market with no pressure. He's a question mark.

What does Toronto's core have to do with what I said about Vancouver? I already said Vancouver was a much better team. Taking a shot at mine doesn't change the fact that Vancouver's ship has sailed for the time being.

Yeah but you guys had no heroes, no guy that could come up big for the team to give a boost or just a hint of confidence, not even your coach had the ability to motivate your team. You guys just got shut out.

What do you expect? The leafs will never make it to the finals to be Canadas team and the other teams are rebuilding.

Right.... again... the team was banged up... Boston took it to them. AV sucks as a coach.. I don't know why he got an extension. Any real test.. he gets outcoached.

i don't think vancouver fans are idiots. i just think there are a lot of them on these sites because they know how to read, they know how to type, they can afford to buy a computer, ipad and iphone and they have the hottest girls in the country. we're good, damn good, live in the best city in the world, have the best food, golf, skiing, water sports and best hockey team in canada.

cocky. no, i don't think so. just honest.
