given the amount of money "canada's team" has spent on talent over the yeras i'd say they SHOULD have won the cup but they havent
why?
a) theyre too busy bitching and moaning about the refs and missed calls (lets see.. tucker, mccabe, kidd if you count colin campbell and tthe whole goalie equipment thing, corson when he was there, others and the biggest one of all, pat quinn)
b) they dont seem to find/play a system and stick to it
if they did they would win
i despise the laffs
always have and always will
i despise the notion that thay are "canada's team"
canada has 2 sports in which it could possibly have a team that is considered "canada's team" both those teams are located in toronto but neither of those teams are the leafs. why? canada has 6 franchises and if going solely by support then the habs have just as much right to that claim as the leafs. end of story.

this deserves one and only response: 1967
and for those who thing i only bash the leafs for the sake of it.. you couldnt be further from the truth
as much as i hate the team and all.. i still will sit down and talk hockey about them with a good buddy of mine... most of our talks revovle around their insistance on mortgaging their future for veterans who arent worth the cost especially given the state of the game financially something he now agrees with given the (eventual) impending cap... as far as i know.. when all of this is done and over with they still have to pay owen nolan 7 some mil for a year due to a lockout clause in his contract
thats 7 mil to a guy with a bad back and who is going to be who knows how old.
of a potential 42.5-45 million dollar cap
thats a waste of money and a waste of a 1st round pick + alyn mccauley and indirectly curtis brown (who is a really good shut down type player with offensive upside who made mike ricci expendable)
its not proper or smart asset management
go fuck yourself.
