No little guy, i never said in my post tonight that lupul was less fragile than datysuk, i said teasingly (which even you could understand what was meant) when is the fragile datysuk coming back? You (being the desperate guy you are) took it upon yourself to post a meaningless post about something i never said, thus my post... As usual we are lol at all the time you spend looking stuff up, THUS yet again. we cant make this stuff up, i know you miss the humor but thats the best part of it all , even reverdys last post went sailing over your head. You need some rest now little one, trust me, you do. ;)

At 3:18 you posted that you were going to sleep. At 4:06 you posted this piece of crap. What happened? Were you hungry because you hadn't eaten in almost an hour? Did you get up for a few bags of potato chips and decide the world needed some more of your crap? Try posting something intelligent for once - maybe you could be really daring and actually write something factual about hockey. Nah, I guess that would be too hard.

Now here's your free hockey lesson for today: We all know that the last time a leaf was the NHL's point leader was way back in 1938....76 years ago. You'll be pleased to learn, however, that the last time a leaf came second in points was much more recently. Yes, junior, in 1946 Gaye Stewart of toronto came second to Max Bentley of Chicago...and that was "only" 68 years ago! (By the way, it wasn't even close: Bentley had 61 points in only 47 games, while Stewart could only manage 52 in a full 50 games. Here we are 68 years later, and Chicago is STILL way better than toronto!) You've been schooled...again.

Great News for Maple Leaf Fans!

The leafs OUTSHOT the Islanders! CONGRATS, leafs! Now you have "only" been outshot in 35 of 44 games this season.

True, you outshot the Isles by only ONE (26-25), but hey - you did outshoot them!

True, you still LOST 5-3, but hey - you did outshoot them!

Too bad that "Tie Game" Bernier (who has saved you many times) allowed 4 goals on 24 shots for a very poor .833 save percentage and too bad that at least 2 of the goals were bad ones, but hey - you did outshoot them!

Congrats again, leafs!

Look Behind You, Toronto!

Eastern Conference, LOWER Part of the Standings:

7th - Toronto 43
8th - Jersey 40
9th - Ottawa 39
10th - Philly 38
11th - Columbus 38
12th - Rangers 38
13th - Carolina 37

Toronto, at 7th with 43 points, is only 6 points ahead of 13th place Carolina with 37!

ALL those teams are scratching at toronto's heels!

Every single one of those teams has a BETTER RECORD THAN TORONTO in the last 10 games, except for the Rangers, who have a record identical to Toronto's (3-5-2).

Ottawa has played one more game than toronto and Jersey has played the same number of games as toronto, but EVERY other team on the list has at least one game in hand on the stinkin' leafs.

Watch it leaf fans - your dream is very close to going up in smoke - AGAIN.

I posted the quote above on December 29, which was just under a week and a half ago. Since then, as expected, the situation has become even worse for the leafs. Love it!

Here are the current standings in the lower part of the Eastern Conference:

7th - Toronto 47
8th - Washington 46
9th - Carolina 45
10th - Rangers 45
11th - Ottawa 45
12th - New Jersey 43
13th - Columbus 42

Yes, sports fans, 7th place Toronto is now only FIVE points ahead of 13th place Columbus and also has 5 other teams nipping at its heels.

Of all those teams (7 in all, counting the leafs), ONLY Washington has a worse record than toronto in the last 10 games (9 points for the Caps, 10 for the leafs in that span). Every other team in that rat pack of 7 has done BETTER than the leafs in the past 10 games.

The Rangers, Sens, and Devils have each played 44 games, the same as the leafs. The Caps (just 1 point behind the leafs, and the only team with fewer points in the last 10) have played only 42, meaning they have two games in hand and are favorites to pass toronto VERY soon. The Canes and the Blue Jackets have each played 43 games, so each has a game in hand on the leafs.

How's it look, leaf fans?

I was in a store today (Tuesday, January 7) and by chance there happened to be a TV on with a panel discussing the Team Canada selections. Someone mentioned the name Dion Phaneuf and a panelist said "Oh come on. Is anyone really surprised that Dion Phaneuf was not named?"

The "captain" had his revenge tonight though. Wow, did he ever show them! Well, if you consider being a minus three and assisting on at least one goal by the ENEMY team, then I guess he DID show them (chuckle!).

After half the season, toronto has allowed an average of 36.4 shots against per game. No NHL team in the past 15 years has allowed that high an average.

The Caps in 05-06 were the last team to allow over 35 but at least they were outshot by "only" 5.3 per game, whereas this season the leafs have been outshot by 9.1 per game. In the past 20 years, no team that has been outshot by such a ridiculously high margin has ever made the playoffs.

To make matters even worse for the wretched leafs, their goaltending has come back to Earth. After saving their hopeless team on many occasions, Bernier and Reimer are no longer doing so. Bernier has been bad in his last 2 outings and Carlyle has not started Reimer for several games (6?). Reimer's only recent appearance was when he came in after Bernier was yanked during the latest leaf humiliation (but not their latest LOSS - chuckle), a 7-1 pounding by the Rangers.

The fact that Reimer has been shelved (while Bernier has been shelled - ha ha) - might indicate that Reimer is now in the Grabo/Liles zone, where Carlyle abandons a player for his own inexplicable reasons. (Washington and Carolina say, "Thank you, Randy, and thank you, Mr. Nonis.")

One thing about Jagr, he is a SHELL of his former self.

The "shell" is, however, still good enough to be leading the Devils in points. The "shell" also has more points than anyone on the leafs except for Kessel.

26 year old Kessel has 3 points more than 41 year old (ALMOST 42!) Jagr. Kessel is minus 2, Jagr is plus 12.

The Leafs losing to boston was a learning experience for a very young team and they have come out strong this season and i think alot of that is because of that defeat. Good things come from bad things many times, and so be it. Nobody gave them a chance to even make a series out of it and they did. They are better because of that game 7 and that is how it should be.

Well done sir! One of the finest pieces of comedy ever written!

A question for you, Mr. Cairo: for how many consecutive years can a hapless team rely on "very young team" as their excuse for sucking? For how many consecutive years can a team be a "very young team" before they're no longer a "very young team?"

I am afraid that I do not have the answer to that question, since 29 of the 30 teams in the NHL are too proud and too honorable to make ANY excuses when they fail to reach their objectives.

Perhaps the only person who could answer your question would be a LEAF fan (such as the Doctor or the rotund Corporal) since the hopeless and hapless leafs have now sucked for 47 YEARS and, like the pitiful and classless losers they are, ALWAYS have an excuse. If it is not their "very young team", it is (choose one):

bad luck
a good learning experience
a goal by the leafs that was disallowed but should have counted
a goal by the opponents that was allowed but should have been disallowed
a road game
a home game (too much pressure from the fans)
they were tired because they played the night before (or two nights before, or three nights before, or......)
they had a tiring plane ride
someone was injured, and that never happens to players on other teams
someone was suspended, it wasn't deserved, and it never happens to players on other teams
the "roommates" didn't get a good night's sleep
Dion Phaneuf's bow tie was misplaced
Crosby was lucky to score the hat trick
they were distracted by Rob Ford's antics
the other 29 teams always get the favorable calls
Joel Cairo's hurtful comments affected their concentration
Joe T. jinxed them by predicting they'd win

Of ALL those excuses, the only valid one is the last.

You didn't mention 'a big one', probably out of pitty for TO's fans. :lol:

And it's because people in Ontario are so used to being represented by losers that no matter how much they crap at what they do, they will still support them.
Rob Ford, all the feds in Ottawa, Nortel, Blackberry, etc.

The Maple Laughs never would have made that long in Montreal, Detroit, Boston, etc.

There's a difference between supporting and getting to be like the losers you constantly excuse for their behaviors.

I think the best thing that could happen for TO now would be to shut down the LEAFS for a full year at least until people start to realise how dummy and stupid they were to put so much money into such a losing team.

If TO's fans were 'real hockey' fans they would simply get to the streets to eradicate this losing corrupted attitude, or shut the fuck up once and for all.
For when you put Billions of $$$ year after year into a team that sucks every year, it's time to clean up the house.

Or pack up and leave...

That is not a play that a $7 million dollar per year defenceman should make. Bad judgement. Put your stick in the way of a shot from outside the blue line! Just dumb.

Excellent excuse guide JC

I suggest that you edit your post #1769 to number the excuses. Then, in the interest of brevity, Ignarant and the other Leaf sympathizers can simple quote the excuse number each time their collection of laughable losers loses.

Thanks Anon_Vlad. I also thought of numbering the excuses but then I remembered that little iggy has tremendous difficulty with numbers and even the most basic arithmetic. Thus, out of pity for the poor little guy, I left out the numbers so that he'll be a little less confused when one of his "friends" reads him the post.

Thursday the Canes will play the leafs. If the Canes can win in regulation time, they will tie the leafs in the standings and will still have a game in hand on Canada's National Embarrassment.

Go Canes Go!
