Another solid 3rd period effort.......

Considering the losing, a very loyal, if not misguided, fan base. Funny how most families are torn apart by such loyalties. My father, a Leafs fan. Me, a Sens fan. My brother in law, a Leafs fan. His son, a Sens fan. Sens-Leafs games = WAR!

4 times since 1974. Lost all 4.

My math doesn't take into account the number of appearances by each team in the Conference Finals, just wins. Their numbers are probably higher for that.

Actually, if you're a Nordiques fan, and you followed the franchise to Colorado... I think you know where I'm going with this...

Bottom line is, there's only one other team that has gone longer without hoisting the mug, Chicago. The Blackhawks are the fifth option in a 5 professional team town. The Leafs, who have more money than god, are #1 of 3.

If the Habs had moved to Colorado, I would NOT be a fan. I can't imagine anything worse as a sports fan than to have your team ripped from your home and moved somewhere else. It's not like the Colisee wasn't filled either.

Anyway, my point is that it could be worse. In the post Ballard era, the last 15 years or so, the Leafs have been in 3 conference finals. They didn't win any, but they came close to the finals, especially in 93 (when the Habs would've smoked them anyway ). They've been competitive for the most part and are just in a down cycle. The introduction of the cap has hit them hard because they can't spend their way out of it, and they haven't adapted to that. I have no doubt that MLSE wants to win, they're spending BAGS of money to lose, they might as well spend it to win. Problem is they just haven't figured out the 'how' yet.

........by the Leafs

And another 1 game winning streak goes by the boards

But what do you really think Scotty?

I think that the leafs will continue to suck until you start seeing empty seats at the ACC......what motivation does MLSE have to put a winning product on the ice?? They always sell out and the lemmings buy the loser gear like it's going out of style.

The Ontario Teacher's Federation is very, very happy with the returns that they are getting on their investment

I do not see that ever happening....

Say what you want about Leaf fans, they are true to their team, some would say to a fault. They stick by the team through thick and thin and even though they will cut their own team up, they will still defend them to death

Or at least defend them through some really tough and bad insults.....
