Are we doing the going back in time thing now? If so, 2nd most Cups. If not, check the standings. How would you like this to play out?
- systemtool

Hmm.

Well I can make some quip about 6 team league blah blah blah and you could come back with some brain buster like "oh yeah well at least we won a cup!"


...or we could just not?

Relax dude. The leafs were bad for a long time and now the sabres are bad, and probably will be for at least a little while. Whoopty doo.

Cox is an idiot - stick to tennis. Simmons is a CLASS A piece of poop

He's alright.

I think he takes more heat than he deserves.

Simmons is simply the worst.
- AngryWhiteMale

Simmons is a baffoon.

The reason I don't dislike Cox is because he actually took the side of the Leafs in one of those round table debates when someone suggested the Leafs were lucky to have won some of their games. He got my respect on that one.

A little long long long while. That said, make any quips you wish. Won't erase history.

I am relaxed. Im a Leaf fan. If I were a Sabres fan, I probably wouldn't be.

a little google search of his past articles over the last couple years will change your mind fairly quickly.

Meh, I've read his work. I didn't say I liked the guy, but I don't dislike him either. He's gotten better lately, so Im good with with.

It's not. It's a 'large' city with a big 'financial' hub but really it's just a bastien for Liberalism with a big gay community and large ethnically-segregated communities.

You can walk through large parts of Toronto and be easily forgiven for thinking you're not even in Canada anymore.

Toronto's reputation hasn't been hit, people from all over the world will still flock there.

It's got ugly architecture, insanely overpriced real estate and because 1/5th of Canada's population lives there Toronto is primarily responsible for electing some of the worst politicians this country has seen both provincially and federally.
- AngryWhiteMale

How is that different from every other big city?

You know, I get sick of the Ford bashing. I believe that he needs to step down, because of the proof of his drug use and alcohol problems. What I can't stomach, is the way the media, mostly the Toronto Star and the CBC went on a major witch hunt, the day he was elected. They sent in their hit squads, trying to look into his windows, harassed him in his own driveway, with his children. The left wingers tried allot of false and misleading accusations, to try and discredit him. Just because he had a right of center agenda, to stop the useless waste of tax dollars and the forever tax increases in the GTA.

He was overweight and spoke like a factory worker. He coached highschool football and attended many of the city's sporting events. Everything the socialist's hated! What no-one talks about, is the number of fee's and taxes that he eliminated, or how he stopped the public debt from climbing. Just because he wasn't one of the "chosen one's", he was to be humiliated and run from office. He never stole one dime of taxpayers money. Someone like Justin Trudeau can admit to smoking marijuana while being a member of parliament and advocate decriminalization of drugs, but I don't see the Toronto Star, or the CBC going near him or harassing his family. He is one of the "chosen one's". In actuality, he's done nothing to suggest that he was great at politics, or did anything of significance in life, however many on the left want him at 24 Sussex Drive. It's a blatant double standard and it really is something that people should understand, before they pile on to this poor soul as mayor of Toronto, who needs help.
- PrinceLH

Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

He hired people using taxpayer dollars to help coach football. They didn't perform any work for the benefit of Toronto.

That is stealing taxpayer dollars.

A little long long long while.

Why?

If anybody can relate its a leafs fan. Bottom dwellers for what? A decade? And now they've almost won a whole playoff series!

If the leafs are any indicator we just need a decent season and one close playoff series and we will be the best team in the league!!!

Tried to keep it civil dude, but if you wanna argue about dumb poop i can try.

In all seriousness tho, I'd rather draft top 3 then finish in 10th place year after year. So I don't have my panties in a wad... Yet.

I actually don't see Buffalo as that far from being good. they do have some nice pieces compared to other teams that usually start the season this poorly.

How am I not being civil? By honestly stating the Leafs are a better team than the Sabres, and that the Leafs have a richer and more productive history than the Sabres?

Well, of course you see this as "dumb poop" because it doesn't play out in your favour, but you're the one in a Leaf thread trying to start "dumb poop".

You guys will never be the best team in the league. I mean that. Drafting alone doesn't always pan out. See Edmonton, Florida, Columbus, Atlanta/Winnipeg etc.

Compare it to the large cities where I'm from and Toronto is a (frank)ing utopian paradise in comparison...
- lumlums

But all the best bands came from those cities

Of course the year where the Leafs get the Winter Classic and HBO. They decide to censor it on Sportsnet and have 4 more outdoor games.

NHL ruined a good thing.

The bold part is where you contradict yourself.

Now leave.

He isn't the sharpest balloon in the drawer.

oh so now that the leafs finished 10th its classed as 'bottom dwellers'

But during that time I'm sure you were the one to say.. 'HAHA not bad enough to get a good pick HAHA'

Leave

Leafs have #2 overall pick JVR, #% overall picks Kessel and Rielly, #7 overall picks Lupul&Kadri.

Lol I wasn't aware thats what passed for civility. My mistake.


I didn't try to start anything. I never say anything disparaging about the leafs, in this thread or in any other.

Didn't realize you'd take "perennial playoff" comment so seriously. Just a light hearted jab amongst hockey fans, especially given the nature of the comment i replied too

Anyways sorry i ruffled your feathers. Was a good win last night, and ill root for Toronto everytime they play the bruins

But all the best bands came from those cities
- jimi james

True enough.

Doesn't make the cities any more livable now though

Leafs have #2 overall pick JVR, #% overall picks Kessel and Rielly, #7 overall picks Lupul&Kadri.
- RogerRoeper

I heard the #% picks have the highest % of being #'s
