At the start of the year i was all for tanking. I can't help but cheer for this team now. "Team" is the key word for me. They are finally playing like one. Gosh its just beautiful. Thinking about this team with Lupul, Frattin, Gadiner, and Reimer back in the line up just makes me giddy like a little school girl. Thank you carlyle

If the Leafs succeed with this team he will be given full credit by the fans.

Buffalo sports radio think the no goal was bs.


Some guy called in saying they should get Nolan a dithery freaked out and hung up before he was done.

...and on that note I will be leery of any trade we make with the Ducks now.

Which fans? There were some saying that he was on the right track previous to this. I think that no matter what happens there will be some that cannot/will not give Burke or the leafs credit.

I almost spit out my beer when I saw that Poindexter behind the Sabre bench...he's sure to inspire those poor wittle Sabres.

If wilson gets a job again, does he get boo'd when he returns to Toronto? I could see the 'Fire wilson" chant starting up.

I can't imagine anyone is dumb enough to hire that idiot again.

Roy is not moving.

A team will come to him.

I know it's early to be watching the standings, especially this year considering all the games are within the conference so someone is getting two points every night and the stupid 3 point games could mess things up...still, we're in a decent spot right now.

I think people are over estimating the Habs being at #1 because the Bruins are two points back with three games in hand, IMO it's pretty clear they are going to take the division barring an epic collapse or serious injuries (note: I'd be saying the same thing if the Leafs were there right now). So that leaves us right around the Habs/Pens mark fighting for the 4-6 spots. You have to think it's only a matter of time before Ottawa drops off, especially if Anderson is going to miss a few weeks. The Rangers can make up some ground and it's hard to know what will happen in the SE, hopefully one of the Lightning and Canes drop off so it's just the division winner that gets in.

There's still lots of time for us to drop off but hopefully the buffer we've created between teams like the Flyers and Jets will stand us in good stead for the rest of the season. Plus if we are going to be adding Reimer, Lupul, Frattin and Gardiner back into the lineup that should give us a huge boost. Barring any other major injuries which can happen.

My optimism is starting to pick up whereas usually I live in a zone between very cautiously optimistic to darkest shade of pessimism. Unfortunately that makes me wary that an epic soul crushing collapse could be on the horizon because this is the Leafs we're talking about. Kind of a cacth 22 scenario, really.

Here are some happy Leaf stats to start off a friday for everyone

Goals for: 7th
Goals Against 8th
Fighting Majors: 1st
Hits:1st

Tied for 4th in the conference, 5 points clear of 9th........


They have an Identity and a game plan and a solid coach now.

I have a good feeling that the 18 wheeler is going to stay on the road this year

Contrary to your post above, I'm not actually gay. But I am a Leafs fan, and it's practically the same thing.

We are made fun of by idiots.

At times, we even fear violence by the truly stupid (Flyers fans).

We are constantly asked why we don't just switch teams (are you really this stupid? I didn't choose to be a Leafs fan - I was born this way).

For a long time, we felt safest in bars around Church Street.

There's one major difference, though, which actually makes being gay better than being a Leafs fan:

Every year, they get a parade.

you're a funny man.

Gotta love the south-east. Carolina's sitting in 3rd, with fewer points than any other play-off bound team.
