Now now, we've had 4, count 'em four opportunities to make it to the cup finals.

One was a gretz factor

One was against the Carolina crappers the year we lost Berard.

it's not all brendan convery's and Jonas Hoglunds
- AngryWhiteMale

Considering we haven't won a cup since 67, is the above really enough?

I know people don't like Grammar Nazis, but seriously, if I have to backtrack and mentally insert commas, paragraph breaks etc. in order to make sense of what someone's saying it really takes up more effort than it should.

Plus, I just can't take people like that seriously. I mean, if you want somebody to have these broken, non-sensical yap-fests with go date a 16 year old girl or something.

can they be 18 year olds? please. can they, can they

It's funny how when Wilson criticizes a player in the media, he's throwing them under the bus and shattering their confidence. When he defends and supports a player to the media, he's making excuses for lack of performance.
- Zezel

as with anything, it can be spun to be negative or positive.. generally it all depends on the individual's point of view and most indivduals dont recognize this.

one person can say "kudos to wilson for defending his player" while another can say "the leafs are too accepting failure"

Would love to have Steve Ott
- AngryWhiteMale

yes, great example!

i have seen far worse days in leafland than these

the team is young, and is mainly inconsistant.. i remember the same results with a 30+ team with nothing in the system

that being said, i am hoping burke doesnt make the same mistake of all former leaf GMs and start selling off youth for immediate star power help.. cause lets face it, a single top tier forward isnt taking this team any further than its going to go... a small deal for a character guy would be the best move imo...

i think the leafs should go into sell mode and get whatever they can for under performing vets and ride the youth ther rest of the way

there is nothing remotely close to a star in the cupboards, if this bunch of spare parts can get one now, better pull the trigger

Im not jumping all over grabs, or his ability or even the point he was trying to say, but without stats or anything else on his side, im not sure what he can use to back his very homeristic belief? I mean if it was one of you who said it mr rational leaf fan would be all over you for this belief, yet it is him who is taking the beating and getting upset and trying to dodge the onslaught, so it is no longer funny, and he has to bring it to a personal level, cause his argument held about as much water as basket, and was an uninformed homer opinion rather than a fact. I should be a lawyer. Cause his case just got tore the (frank) up and thrown out.

It would be a big gamble.

How I got you riled up over Grabovski
- mr.peanut

Im not riled, im making you look like a fool and even the delusional leaf fans are laughing at the site of you face down on the canvas.

yes, great example!
- Dozzer

I don't want Ott at nearly $3 mill. for two more seasons. Have we not learned from the Colby Armstrong mistake?

Says the guy who is Mr. Holier than you in the EE threads this is quite funny.

stars dont win you championships

there is no miracle solution... this is why leaf land is in a state of perpetual negativity... fan base is so busy looking for a saviour

really... what difference would nash make? or getzlaf? or any other star?

very little in the overall scheme of things... they would come here under an umbrella of hype, and ultimately dissapoint since there is no humanly possible way they could live up to fan expectation.

can they be 18 year olds? please. can they, can they
- bobbyisno1

Whoa there tiger...

Here's a fun fact:

16's just as legal as 18....you can hardly tell the difference

It would be a big gamble.
- mr.peanut

how, we have maybe 7 good NHL players, if we can keep six of them and trade one with spare parts for a star are we not better off?

They fear my game too, at least now you know why.

16, you have to be within 2 years of their age

25 pages in and it's finally getting chippy - Go Leafs Go!!

- Urethra Franklin

still dont believe army was a mistake.. he's suffered injury after injury and is now out of game shape.. more unfortunate than anything

however, i do agree that bringing in someone like ott would require moving a lombardi, army, etc (similar salary)

Whatever helps you.

Sore bum much?

wouldn't make much difference now but in a couple of years if we don't have them we are in the same place. ninth

i'm delusional!!

life is more fun that way lol

16, you have to be within 2 years of their age
- bobbyisno1

Nope.

You need to be within 5 years of their age if they're under the age of consent. a 19 year old can take advantage of a 14 year old who's had a sniff of VEX


My way of telling if she's 16 is if she squeels in pain at first then wants to marry you after
