Leafs fans are delusional by nature. Its been almost 50 years since they've won a Cup, they've made the playoffs once in the last 10, and yet they consider themselves a top contender year in and year out.

Well, if they handed the Cup out in late October, they'd have a pretty good shot.

Exactly -- it's one thing if Rags or B's fans are in here with something to say, but Good Lord. Getting chirped by fans of the Leafs and Hurricanes?

What the hell's gotten into the water today?

I mean, seriously -- the Leafs playoff appearance came in a 48-game season. Does that even count? Odds are, they would've driven straight off a cliff if that thing had gone a full 82, kinda like last season, or the year before the 48-Game Miracle.

Bottom pairing dmen don't play 22 minutes a night.

I think last tasting any kind of playoff success when games were in 4:3 has been pretty tough on you, so you're here lashing out.

I like the Flyers, but that guy is overpaid. His possession numbers are brutal.

Advanced stats be damned! MacDonald passes the smell test.

Exhibit A: Dion Phaneuf.

On a really, really bad team a clubhouse cancer can even be named Captain.


See; Phaneuf, Dion.

I'd laugh about Finger having played 20min+ for you guys back in the day, but we have our own Randy Jones skeleton in the closet.

Well, here's one more fact, since you appear to like them so much:

1. David Clarkson is signed for six more years and has a no-move clause.

That contract was horrible, but at least it was only a 2-year deal.

Yeah, but he's a bonafide superstar top-line winger.
