Hopefully the Leafs pull this one out!!!

Agreed !

My first reaction to this was that I was glad he did it...then I realized...WTF was he trying to prove? He's just acting like a tough guy by strong arming people into answering questions that there are no answers to, he simply makes himself look like an ass. What does he expect Schenn to say? We aren’t good enough...? So what does that prove?

The only one who should have answered differently is Phaneuf. Phaneuf should have said something along the lines of "it starts with me, I'm the captain and I am supposed to be the leader of this team by leading by example and getting the guys motivated and I did not deliver on that, I take full responsibility" even if that's not the full reason, it's his job as Captain to take the fall for the team and not do the typical "you lose as a team and you win as a team" crap.

Nobody forced people to spend $400 for a seat, people made that decision themselves.

This city is full of Leafs fans and lacking true hockey fans that know what to expec from a young team. Half these guys are 23 or less and not any where near their prime. There's no franchise player, no #1 centre, no #1 goalie and until semi-recently with Carlyle, there was no system in place for defense.

To expect anything more then exactly what is happening right now is just plain foolish and so very typical of people who are just Leafs fans and not real hockey fans.

Burke is the only one that needs to stand up and say "I thought I had put together a good team, I thought our goaltending was stronger then it was, I take the blame for this season and we will put forth every effort to improve amd make sure we challenge for a playoff spot".

i agree Juice, they really need to be more sincere to their fans and not giving the continuous run around BS that seems to have been spewing out of their mouhts more than not.

i still say burke is moving the team in the right direction but has made a few bad decisions. 1 being dion as captain...that says a lot coming from big d!

As someone you guys all look up to around these parts....I take blame for some of the Leafs failure this year. I should have tried much harder to voice my concerns at the starting at the season that Gus and Reimer wouldnt work....and for that I am sorry I let you guys down.

From here on out, I promise that next time I see a disaster waiting to happen, I will do everything I can to get the word out!!

unless you are getting a high powered gaming one..

you do know the first part was sarcasm?
- stevecarpetman

wasnt exactly clear....

That's good for you man, it sucks dropping 100+ on a card just to play a new game...
- wolfos412

I wouldn't have done it. I don't even have the $60 for the game, I'm getting it as a late birthday present lol.

If I needed a new video card I wouldn't have been getting it...that's why I've been sort of freaking out the last couple days trying to figure this out lol

I get what you are saying... but it never fails to amaze me that the reporters seek out Schenn or some other of the young guys for comments. How's about asking Tim Connolly if he broke a sweat or a nail? Or ask Komisarek what the differences between his slapshot and his pass are? In short , there a quite a few guys who are older, should be more mature. Ask them.

You... hey "Tim (talking to Connolly)", "do you feel at all guilty for taking the 4.5Millon this season"? "any ideas of which charity you'd like to donate it to"?
- BorjeFan4Ever

The overpaid veterans are shielded from the media. Wrong move IMO

of course Doma, they are making the game so it works on most if not all machines, as long as you have bought a computer in the last ...say 6 years, it will be adequate.

prices for video cards these days are pretty cheap, but nice to know you dont have to upgrade at all! good news.

cant wait to hack and slash and getter going!
- Neiler

Yeah, well mine is 4 years old, so I figured it would be fine, but wanted to be 100% sure.

unless you are getting a high powered gaming one..
- Neiler

For myself, i used to get really cheap gaming cards and found myself having to upgrade more and more frequently. Got a bit tedious. I only recently splurged and bought a fairly high priced card which should potentially last me for 3 years around high settings. Either way, buying parts for your PC is just too much fun. I could roam around canada computers for hours.

i agree Juice, they really need to be more sincere to their fans and not giving the continuous run around BS that seems to have been spewing out of their mouhts more than not.

i still say burke is moving the team in the right direction but has made a few bad decisions. 1 being dion as captain...that says a lot coming from big d!
- Neiler

Burke absolutely has the team going in the right direction....but are we calling it the right direction because it's better then what we're used to or because it's actually a plan that will turn out to be a stanley cup contending team?


Burke did two high level things wrong:
1) Said he wasn't interested in a 5 year rebuild, thus removing any patience the fans were willing to have
2) Rant about truculance and testosterone and then add none

If I added a 3rd, it would be (like you said) leaning too much on Dion right off the bat and acting like he was a savior for this franchise.

I bought the GTX8800 back in 06/07 for $600

Im just banking that because my computer is less than 6 months old that it can run it. I have to check specs once home.
