It's easier to find Waldo nowadays. What happened to the future franchise star?

I honestly think this leadership b.s is exaggerated. Crosby has a lot more talent than Toews. End of story.

Just because the media licks Toews ass, doesn't mean all of you have to. The media told you Rick Nash was a franchise player you build your team around. Sometimes they are wrong.

ya, that rumour was ridiculous

"Gretzky, who grew up in Brantford, Ont., explained that he and his agent at the time, Mike Barnett, “were leaning to go to Toronto and be part of the Toronto Maple Leafs,” but it turns out the team was more interested in a new arena rather than signing The Great One.

“Timing is everything, and unfortunately at that time they were trying to raise money to move out of Maple Leaf Gardens and move into a new arena, a new facility, and the ownership just felt at that time they need to concentrate and put more of their resources into building an arena than to sign me,” Gretzky explained. “And that’s business and that’s what happens, but I thought I was close to signing in Toronto. I thought it was going to happen; unfortunately it didn’t.”"

It was Stavros who was going broke and nixed the deal from what I read, losing a lot of money on his grocery chain Knob Hill Farms.

It pisses me off the Leafs have such a long history of cheap, broke owners when they've been such a cash cow. The stories on Ballard are hilarious.

He certainly has had the better supporting cast up until now
I believe this will change as key pieces we be moved to stay under the cap after next year
Then we will be able to evaluate his performance output and leadership skills

Up to a couple of years ago, Crosby had a great supporting cast. Heck even this year he had a good one

Crosby didn't deserve the captaincy for team Canada he got because of his name. Shouldon't a leader lead on the ice? Which he didn't even after having his line mate brought so he could be comfortable.

Saying no to Bowman was a good idea. He sucks as an exec. He wanted Pierre McGuire as GM.

The Pens really have no depth at all. And their defense and goaltending is crap.

Patrick Kane easily has more talent than Toews.

The media only licks Cindy's @ss, only the select intelligent few, recognize toews as the superior.

After watching both these past playoffs I couldn't lie to myself.


Toews is the man.

You think Toews has more talent than Kane?

Sorry, but the "Best Player in the World" needs to have a higher career high than 69 points. Crosby has nearly doubled that.

Please look at the Pens roster. No depth outside of centre.
