My first live Leaf game Keon was still a leaf. Eddie Shack still played too. Ron Ellis, Salming, Turnbull, Lanny - and I was at Rocky Saginuk's debut. He scored. The pain from the 70's and 80's is a distant memory. More recently, the Raycroft trade didn't bother me too much because I felt the...

Oh yeah - Juicer.

When I started mgro was a regular (maybe around 2000?). I started as Silverleaf, changed to Leaflifer, and now I'm Mostar (named after a road near me). We had some good flyer trolls back then. Anyone remember Salzy? I backed off the forum quite a bit because I loathed Burke (as a GM). and had...

No quit in these guys.

It's exhilarating being in the playoffs again. Man I miss this feeling. Tough luck meeting the caps in the first round, but this team is so damn likeable, I'm not gonna be heartbroken if we don't make it out of this round. I could easily see this team stealing a game or two in this series...

I want back on the bandwagon.  :D

I don't think it would curb jersey sales in the long run. I see quite a few people who wear clothing because it has an ad on it.

I just do Game-in-6 these days and have for awhile. Far cry from the 82 games (plus watching the taped game a second time) I used to do. I'm patient though. I'll get back to watching once the team builds to an entertaining level. I'll never be a Leaf-a-holic again though. Ahhh, the temptress...

They do seem to be in full bottom out mode starting last year...so we seem to be on our way.

Just to add some contrast, this is a team that was once run by Harold Ballard.

I think if you have the "presence" all you have to be is mediocre in other aspects of the job.

Agreed on all points. One thing I may add (Re: point #2), and it's just speculation on my part, is that professional sports has a bit of what I call the "Max Power" effect. There are some people in management who are in their positions merely because of their A type personalities. They...
