Crock of horse shit. Do something to prove anything of what you just said.

[KapG]

hahahahahahahaha

What a joke.




Still love my Leafs though :S.

[Shoalzie]

The league is better when the Original Six clubs are contending...the Leafs need to get their shit together because hockey is better when they're relevant.

[KapG]

I don't even remember what it feels like for the Leafs to be relevant. It's been that long..

[Shoalzie]

Since you guys had Cujo? (the first time around)

[thom54]

Belfour I suppose was when.

[KapG]

Might go and say 02/03 and 03/04. belfour had a couple good runs those seasons. Since then though, nothing.

Fuck man, I was 16/17 at that time. Jesus..............

[Shoalzie]

Wow, honestly didn't realize you guys haven't been in the playoffs since the lockout. Belfour had a really solid year in '03-04 prior to the lockout. They've definitely struggled since Quinn was coach. Your best years since I followed hockey were with Burns or Quinn. Been to 4 conference finals in the last 20 years...still hard to believe you haven't been back to the Finals since the last time they actually won it all.

Teams have succeeded when grabbing guys from winning organizations...the Lightning moved forward with Yzerman and Tallon has helped bring the Panthers back from the abyss. You'd think Burke would work in Toronto. He's gotta be near the end of his leash by now.

Needs:
Number one Center (Tyler Seguin)
Number one Defenseman (Dougy Hamilton)
Number one Goalie (Tuukka Rask)


muhahahahahaaa. Go Kessel Go...Too Easy

Oh no, we're stuck with the player with 6th most goals and 6th most points. FUCK.

Rask on the other hand, fml.

I still make that Kessel trade. When Seguin stops getting sheltered minutes and is your #1 C, and Hamilton is your #1 D, then you can come back and chirp that.

Without that trade, we'd be Tyler Seguin looking for 2 1st line wingers. Now we have Lupul and Kessel looking for 1 1st line Centre. Lupul isn't the player he was this year without Kessel, so he would be what he was supposed to be when we got him: A Salary Dump.

These 32 eggs will surely net 32 chickens.

I'm betting some are even twins.

The Leafs would be a different team totally. They would admit they are in a full rebuild. The team would be focused on youth and building with its own valuable draft picks. A few years down the road they would be contenders. Instead, lets focus on getting to 9th or 10th again.......Finding the wingers is much easier than a franchise center? No? Or what about a Chara-Lite d-man in Hamilton? Not many of those guys around either. Burke blows...A big let down to the franchise and fans. The fans are not going anywhere, why the hell did he not come in and do this rebuild the right way? Id be pissed right off as a Leafs fan or season ticket holder.

[Nick]

You don't think we rebuilt with youth? Didn't follow the team at all if you believe that.

[thom54]

Chara-lite?

[kimmer]

The letter isnt long enough

Not to sound like Kareem, but there is so much wrong in this post it's not even funny.

Leafs have been and still are one of the 5 youngest teams in the NHL since Burke took over. He's not focusing on 9th/10th and he continues to say that. Every TDD he can move his 1st/2nd/prospects for a 35yr old vet to help us get into the playoffs, but that's not his plan. He doesn't want to come 8th and get raped in Round 1. He wants his team to be perennial playoff contenders for the cup, not a 1 and done in the playoffs.

Hamilton is not even close to Chara-lite if you've ever seen him play. Completely made up statement.

Worry about the Bruins getting knocked out by the Caps in Round 1.

[Chris]

HAHAHAHA @ Hamilton = Chara-lite

Bruins fans = Fucking retarded

[armandtanzarian]

Yea and Leaf fans got it all figured out right....lol fuck. Stop making excuses for a sorry ass GM that has done nothing but FAIL.

This is a majority Leafs board is it not? Should i not participate in Leaf discussions? I am a Canadian and have Leafs jammed down my throat from every direction, my opinion is just as valid as any of yours, so fuck off. And i do worry about the Bruins getting knocked out in Round 1. At least i have something to worry/be excited about, instead of the hot topic of my teams GM and coach stating the obvious about the prior season as they move into golf season.
