I think in life, if you tend towards the excessive in all things, such as drinking, sex, k maybe not sex, drugs, gambling, eating, etc, wouldn't it be fair to say that a few negative consequences might occur?

I know these guys make too much money not to be held accountable, but how can we justify grinding these people up like rotten pieces of unwanted flesh, just because they happen to make so much money? Did they not work their asses off to get to where they are? So what, we buy a bunch of jerseys, then all of a sudden we are privy to pick them apart at our leisure?

Ever have a bad week at the office, where all you wanted to do was throw hot coffee in the bosses face, or tell his son to stuff his boyfriends cock a little harder up his ass?

Ever have days where you are working at home, the kids are home sick as well, and between the two of them, the deadline you are facing, all you want to do is get hammered, (frank) some random girl on the subway, and hop on your Vespa towards early retirement in the Mediterranean somewhere? Anywhere?

My point is, these guys are human beings, and just because their industry decided they were worth x amount of dollars, does that mean we collectively decide that they forfeit their humanity because of that? Do we forfeit ours?

I catch myself on many an occasion, lately especially, bemused by the endless picking and prodding by the media, the Toronto media especially, and it makes me wonder at which point can we say to them, enough is enough. Perhaps there should be another level of media created, whose sole focus is to pick apart every article, interview, and commentary submitted to the public domain.

At some point I think we should just dial it back a little, give everyone some space to breathe, you never know, it might even breathe new life into those select markets that have long suffered imaginary curses, maniacal owners, and success starved fans.

So forgive me for siding with the players on this one. The center ice salute was a courtesy. If my fans are throwing beers at me during a game then expect some sort of reaction.

Leafs are tied with the Sens - I find this humorous given comments from early October.

Oh come on Leafman just wanna have a little fun and talk about something other than waving a hockeystick in the air.

That's a good thing, secondary scoring and trade value, look at it in another way.
- LeafMan


and it'll give Kadri two wingers he can actually play with. Not a knock on Clarkson, because he's been a lot better this year, but I'd rather Kadri play with Lupul and/or Booth

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Booth/Panik
Komorav - Holland - Clarkson
Winnik - Santo - Panik/Booth

roll 4 lines!!

it will be great for 3 game before booth breaks his leg clipping his toe nails or Lupul gets concussed trying to figure out what to wear to a dinner party.

being 23 is irrelevant. I've watched hockey all my life, my family has watched hockey for years. Sorry grandpa, but it doesn't matter about the age. I know a lot about the Leafs. It hasn't been pretty for decades, I know that. You don't need to tell me.

i understand if no one cares. if my team did it, i wouldn't really care all that much. i'd think it was weird and pretty stupid but that's it. thing i don't get though is people who THINK it was an intention f-you to the fans and are applauding the team/leadership for it. there's nothing to applaud in that scenario. there's nothing noble about flipping the bird to an entire fanbase.
