Hey, actually I do feel sad that Leaf fans have not shared what what I have been able to experience. My anger,or rather, disappointment at different Leafs organizations over the years, stems from the fact that this great rivalry has not been re-consumated in 40 years. I'm still waiting for the blue and white to step up to the plate. Almost got my wish in '93.
I get the feeling all Canadian hockey fans are missing out on something special. Until the Leafs get their act together, my disappointment just turns to contempt.
I find the majority of Toronto fans applaud or defend every move they make, without any vision towards the future. An example of this is the recent Peca signing. Does anybody think he'll actually be around by the time the Leafs finally win the Cup. I doubt it big time!
The bottom line is the Leafs are uncapable of building a team with eyes on the future. It's always about NOW. I imagine a 40 year drought will do that for your mindset. Leafnation has been brainwashed into such likeminded thinking. Years of free spending GM's didn't help. Believing a team is perenially one player away from winning it all is generally stupid.
With all teams on equal footing thanks to the salary cap, the Leafs have yet to adjust their thinking. Oh well, more years of turmoil and rivalry absense. They can't even kick the Sens around any more!
....on another note...I just linked to this site yesterday and was impressed at its activity. I'll be here to shoot my mouth off on pretty much a regular basis.
I noticed that things in here were just getting started. I'm no comp whiz, but I must say this little blog inspired me to start my own. 4 hours and a migraine later, I'm up and running. Any tips I gather once I figure out WTF I'm doing, I'll gladly share. In the meantime, you can watch it unfold at:
Crap..... Our first regular and he's a Leaf fan. I will be feverishly soliciting the world wide web all weekend in search of long time semi disgruntled Canuck fan, like myself to balance this thing out. It's bad enough sharing this blog with a Sundin this, Gilmour that, kinda guy. J/K
Joking aside, glad you like it so far, will check your blog out and drop some comments.
Thanks guys..just don'y call me a Leafs fan again - LOL! Habs all or nothing here.
Nolan was the example I had in mind. I guess each time you see Boyes light the scoreboard it's like "Ouch!" Can't forget McAuley and Stuart in that deal - talk about mortgaging the future!
"Hey man! blame my wife! she's the one who dug it up!"???? What's that supposed to mean? "I didn't say it was your fault; I said I was going to Blame you"...? I did't post it...YOU did.
