Or continue on being the team that never makes it anywhere, the only team not to make the playoffe between CBA's, the only team to not make the finals since who knowns when.

What the leafs have been trying for the past 20 years is proven to not work... maybe try something different.

My post was meant sarcastically ... I am a Leafs fan, and think our methods and team are a joke. We've been building towards the future for 8 years, and still getting the same story this year ... I've been a Leafs fan my entire life ... And am pushing my son to cheer for someone else.

I don't think you've seen many Stars games then. Out of ten, I would rank Ben an 8 for career potential maybe a 9. Ben is going to be among the elite, ppg, perenial allstar. If Gireux can turn into a Hart trophy candidate, so can Benn. Benn is THAT good.
- Aquaman_2400

Just like JvR is a 10/10 and will be a 100 point guy?

A guy like Benn could be the young #1 C guy we need. He's not Crosby or Malkin but he's a vast improvement over what we have.

Who else would people compare him too? Like a Toews light? Or is that too high praise?

Man, I would LOVE if we got a guy like Toews. I think he's one of the best and most under rated players in the game.
- deerow84

a 21 year old 50+ point center who's tough and plays good defense?


He's gonna be a pretty damned good #1 C

Here's some wild, wacky info for you:

http://flyers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=35708

If exclude seats along the glass, and something called the Cadillac Grille, there isn't a seat at the FU Centre (or whatever they are calling the Philly Arena these days) for over $100.

But yeah, they packed an open practice. Mon Dieu, they are much more dedicated hockey fans than Torontonians.

And I'd also point out that they have to convince people to buy season seats, and obviously not enough people have because they are still advertising them, but that would be piling on, and I don't want to hurt KeatonDixon's feelings - especially since I know he has a big spelling test coming up.

I managed to buy tickets for a Flyers game, online from the Flyers website, two days before the game itself. The tickets were the equivalent of our gold section. They cost me $60 each.

id imagine phili has a few more million population, and a LOT of welfare.

that and they held their practice in the evening as opposed to 10am

little easier to fill an arena when people arent at work lol

YES MAAM

The picture ... That fans would not show up. Would make a stand showing we want a change.

We haven't been building though. Half the time we were floating, now it seems we are laying a foundation.

I'm going to give you a small piece of advice, just in case you didn't get it last time, when people disagree with you don't go over the deep end, take a deep breath and then post. I have full authority from the admins to remove the account if need be. I'm not picking on you, just giving you a friendly message to not cross the line again when you get agitated.

Fair enough, I was only trying to make a point, not be rude. I didnt see that as a very controversial post.

We have?

Im wondering whether troll or fan. No offense, but nobody can be a Leaf fan and truly believe that.

- Symba007

culling the herd. I have been watching too much Swamp people and Duck Dynasty.

How about you PM him this friendly message?

- Big_Lightnin

all (most) of the big market teams did it, except burke who believed he was "righteous" in not doing so.

So it's:

Kessel - Bozak - Joof Loops
Mac - Grabs - Kuli
JVR - Kadri - Komokov
McClement - Steckel - Brown

Hopefully Komokov's energy sparks that other two on his line. I still think Frattin makes it eventually.

And I like that the Grabs' line gets another chance to find themselves again
