that's why I hate that I love you so much
- PatC80

Honestly, its just desperation.
Canada is desperate for a cup, theyll support any team that makes it.
Not me though, fack the habs.

No Habs fan here brother!

I've had to go watch clips of Leafs v Habs in the McClaren and Orr days.

That's Wedgie's point though... If the Leafs made it to the final 4 (One Canadian team was guaranteed to) do you think the rest of the country would cheer for the Leafs? I don't think people in Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton or Vancouver would
- PatC80

Probably not. And that's okay. Sh1tty people are sh1tty people. Fu3k 'em!

Cool, cheer for who you want.

Point is....1 Canadian team in the top 4. Canada as a country is showing support for that team.

People should stop being b1tches when the country as a "whole" puts out a message that the "country" is supporting the ONLY "Canadian" team left in the playoffs...especially since the whole "hockey is Canada's sport" thingy!?!

Not the country of Canada's fault the Leafs, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver currently suck. (Ottawa not worth a mention )

No we aren't.

Thank god for autocorrect.

PS, you know how difficult it is to reach the number keys?

The NHL pushes rivalries but the government is telling us to forget the rivalries...

Bettman vs Trudeau in a cage match

My point was, Mike wrote a goddamn blog about it. Which I thought was silly.

Me spending time exchanging with people around here on whatever topic blog is just a regular day.

Let's just move on.

not much else to write about on the Leafs at the moment.

The CN tower lit up in Habs colors was a stab in the back for me.
I couldn't care less about the Fall being lit up.

If the Leafs won, I don't think a single building in Quebec would of been lit up in the Leafs colors.

moved on now.

When the Habs are beat out the bars won’t even put a playoff game on the tele.

(frank)en scabs.

Wow the sensitivity is ripe in here!

Four teams left in the NHL Playoffs. One team is Canadian. Three teams American.

Canada's Team.

FFS, you guys...get over it. Plus, you all cheer for "Team Canada" at the Worlds or Olympics and that team is filled with players from every other team with maybe one or two players from our own teams.

Just get pleasure out of the fact that the Habs are getting out b1tch slapped by a bigger, tougher team.....while our softies are jerking their noodle in a jacuzzi full of Soft suds.

PS...did we trader B1tch Marner yet?

Trudeau has the reach, but I suspect Bettman fights dirty. Too close to call...

Worse than a licker?

i think the one thing that unites Habs and Leafs fans is that we all want to see terrible things happen to the Canucks

I would have said the Sens though.

There is never a 'Canada's Team'. A Stanley Cup in Quebec or (ROFL) Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver or Winnipeg doesn't mean squat to the rest of us. CBC pushes the Canada's team thing to drag us into watching games we don't give a rat's about. I'd like to see MTL win a round just because of the ad nauseum babble this season about the Canadian division, but I'd celebrate a Cup in MTL when I start celebrating St John Baptiste.

And my point was, it wasn't silly. Just because you think it's "silly" doesn't mean it is. Just because people have been critical of the "Canada's team" comment doesn't mean we're losing our (frank)ing minds over it.

We're complaining and we don't think it's goddamn "silly" to complain about it.

But sure, let's move on.

The same message would have gone up if the Leafs, Jets, Oilers or Peggy’s Cove Schooners had gone on to this round. The trolls are starting to sound reasonable.

Leafs fans struggling to cope with day-to-day life after being made Montreal’s bittch.
