The paragraph would have been just as valid had I not said anything about losing.  The reality is kids are impressionable; that was my point.  The Leafs weren't very good when I was 5 or 6 either.  They finished 3rd in 4 team Adams divisions in 75 and 76.  I got a Leafs sweater from a...

I get that TSN and Sportsnet are owned by Bell and Rogers, respectively.  That, in itself, doesn't mean that the parent companies make money just because the child companies do.  There are other factors at play.  I am a Leafs fan.  I have been since my grandmother gave me my first Leafs...

TSN or Sportsnet might make some money, but, Bell and Rogers, the parent companies, risk losing fans, and in turn, money, by promoting the competition. TSN could theoretically make money by selling advertising to Sportsnet.  During Off The Record, they could show commercials telling us to tune...

I've long said this board needs more limericks. How about: There was a GM in Toronto Who said "I'll fix this team pronto" Fans waited a fortnight Lord Stanley still not in sight Now the fans want the GM gonzo

That is a good point, that I have made in other discussions on the subject. Regardless of whether there is a veto or not, the Leafs have far more influence now then they did during the Balsillie days, by nature of their new ownership. Let's suppose, for arguments sake, the Islanders move into...

I'd be calling Colorado, and seeing if JS Giguerre is available for a pick.  He was a good fit two years ago, is a known commodity, and would come cheap.  The Reimer/Jiggy tandem seemed to work well.  I'd be willing to give it another go. A couple of veteran UFAs who might sign, or even come...

Sure, but "regular" people don't often get invited to the white house.  Regular people don't make 5 or 6 million dollars.  regular people don't get hockey cards made of them.  They guy is not a regular person, any more than Sean Avery was a regular person when he made his homophobic remarks. I...

I admit that I haven't read all 114 pages in this thread, so I don't know if Tim Thomas's name has been in the mix on tmlfans.ca or not.  I know the name came up around the water cooler at work.  I realize that he says he is taking the year off, but, with the right incentive, he could be...

At least Ziggy still has his acting career to fall back on.

I doubt that anyone else shares my favourite Mats Sundin moment.  It wasn't a milestone, like #500, as special as that was. Four years ago today, February 9, 2008, I brought my daughter to her first Maple Leafs game.  There had been a few Marlies games masquerading as Leafs games, but this was...

Dear Santa, I would like the following: [list type=decimal] Contract extension for Grabovski Kulemin to return to last year's form Healthy Colby Armstrong Better PK Pat Burns HOF 2012 [/list]

Really surprised to see Selanne went that late.  I would have thought someone would take him in the top three rounds based on the point total from last season.  Is the consensus that he will not repeat?

Do you mean within a conference?  Has it happened yet that a division winner made the playoffs, and the 9th seed had more points?  I think it came close one year, with the Southeast.  I think that may be when they earned the SouthLeast nickname.  If that happened, I would have a problem with it...

When we acquired Caputi, he was only 2 years removed from being a 1.7ppg Junior player.  He was a decent scorer in the AHL with the Pens (92 points in 110 games), but that scoring never emerged with Toronto.  Granted, he missed most of last season, but in what he played,, he scored 5 points in...

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=376775 Owen Nolan was released by the Vancouver Canucks. I was hoping that he'd catch on, and finish his career in the NHL, rather than the Swiss League.  He never gave Leaf fans what we thought we were getting, but I always liked the guy. I don't think he fits in...

By that same logic, is it not detrimental to keep Gustavsson up?  I would certainly still call him a young goalie. 

Will Grobovski be a full-time alternate this season?  I think that he earned it last season, being our most consistent player.  He wore it after Kaberle was traded, I think, but so too did Armstrong (I think) for a while, and Schenn.  I doubt they'll strip Komisarek of his A, so there is only...

The nice thing about this is that if I buy tickets, and the game is -40, or blizzardy, I'm only out $50.  I though about trying to go to the game in Buffalo, but Buffalo in January is cold.  Hamilton in January is cold too, but for $50, I'll take the chance.
