I think thats the most honest thing i have ever heard on merb!

Toronto also has a similar disease (BBR) and it's called Blue & White disease. Marginal players in a hockey-mad city treated like movie stars. It started decades ago. I remember one night after the game standing outside the Gardens with my father. We were there to wait for the players coming out in order to get their autographs. One player, who was a bum in my opinion, came out. Is name was George Harrison. I told my father that i didn't want this bum's autography, to wait for Sittler, Salming & McDonald instead. But you wouldn't believe the number of women who were there throwing themselves at him. "George!!! George!!!! I want to sleep with you!!!!" George!!!" It was totally ridiculous!

Last year, same thing with Sergei Kostitsyn, Maxime Lapierre, Josh Gorges, Guillaume Latendresse, Garth Murray & a cast of others. On most of the other teams in the NHL, these guys would be bums & not a single person would recognize them on the street. However, as soon as they put on that ugly red sweater, they're now major celebrities!! They get to cut the line everytime they show up at a club, they're surrounded by hot babes & models, they have a bunch of ass-kissers in their surroundings, it's crazy!!!!

Anyways.....totally ridiculous & no wonder the players can't focus on the game.

I remember a year or two ago when some Habs fans were making fun of the Leafs being an old & slow team. No more!!! The Leafs are young, fast, tough, skilled & will scrap with anyone other teams throw at them. No one will dare push around their smaller, skilled players, knowing full well Ron Wilson will send out an army of tough guys to take care of business if that every happens! Watch out folks, the Leafs mean business & not a single team will take them lightly this season. Habs fans, be afraid! Be very afraid!!

This quote should be framed :D

Defenseman Mike Van Ryn will have major knee surgery in late October, removing him from the Toronto Maple Leafs for the season and possibly ending his career.

This just demonstrates how completely incompetent the Leaf organization is.

Wasn’t this guy the compensation for McCabe? Basically Toronto gets nothing and loses a top 4 d-man as well as a fourth round pick!

McCabe had a good year last season with the Panthers (15G and 24A in 69 games) and is their captain. Toronto had no captain for all of last season

There’s one thing the Leaf organization is not incompetent at; either drafting for or trading for injured (or injury prone) players!

immaturity and stupidity seem to be the norm with scabs fans and go hand in hand in this forum, especially when there losing and they have run out of excuses (yes i said it, a scabs fan seems to never run out of excuses too)

Doc, I may be a habs fan but I'm also a hockey fan. I don't let my support for my team blind me to the reality of the situation. In the habs case, the loss of Markov was a huge blow just as it was last year, and it'll be a huge hurdle for the team to get over. With Markov in the lineup they'd most likely have another couple of games in the win column. Without him, they're struggling and will continue to do so unless someone unexpected steps it up a few notches.

But the Leafs are a healthy team, not counting their goalies who really aren't any better than their replacements and don't score goals anyways. The team has been on the ropes since the first loss of the season and their confidence seems to have vanished. And saying that they 'deserved' to win at least a couple of games is nothing but garbage. A team wins or loses games. Saying they 'deserved better' is bull. If they deserved to win, they would have won. Teams get lucky goals both for and against, the same with penalty calls. Good teams rise above it and find a way to win. Lousy teams, and their fans, use it as an excuse. If you can't put the puck behind their goalie more times than they put it behind yours, you don't deserve to win. Simple as that.

When it comes to player salaries, you pay the price that you have to pay to get the players you want or need. Sometimes you have to overpay because of the situation you find yourself in, like the habs have done. But I base the value of a player on what he does for a team today, not on what he did before on another team with different teammates or may do in a year from now. I don't buy into the hype that floats around some players like a bad smell.

I'm not a great fan of Price and think he would have been better served being sent down to Hamilton last year for some seasoning. Now it's too late for that and it seems like the habs are going to stick with him as their number 1 but I still don't think he's earned it at all. He hasn't played bad, but he hasn't played great either. Sure he was badly outshot in the first two games but since then he's been ordinary. I think it's time to give Halak a shot for a couple of games and see what he can do.

One last thing, Doc...never, but never disrespect the Montreal Canadien's hockey sweater. It is one of the most respected symbols of excellence in professional sports!

This video should be watched by every habs fan at least once a year!!!:D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJlilwLlBhg

And this one is a reminder of the greatness that once was and celebrates one of the best players of all time, the epitome of dedication and hockey spirit!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DS_x0FwuqY&feature=related

And that's about all I have to say until after the next habs - Leafs game.

I do recognize you as a fellow hockey fan (not necessarily just a Habs or Leafs fan). I do agree the loss of Markov was major, but other teams have managed quite well without one of their top rearguards in the past. The best recent example are the Pittsburgh Penguins, who didn't play well at first after losing Sergei Gonshar for the most part of the season, but they recovered & wound up winning the cup. Sure, firing Michel Therrien in favor of Dan Bylsema appeared like a stroke of genius from Ray Shero (who's real name is Rejean, by the way....he's half-french). Of course, the Habs don't have a Sydney Crosby or Evgeny Malkin in their lineup (or a bonafide first line, for the matter). But getting the likes of Paul Mara & Hal Gill for defensive depth just wasn't the answer, in case something would have happened to their top rearguard. It's funny, since that "Gutless Puke" Roman Hamrlik is being paid the salary of a #1 defenceman (he's being paid $5.5 million per year).

As for Carey Price, he may not be worth the kind of money he'll be seeking after this season, but i'm certain there's a team out there who will be offering him the big bucks. There are many goalies in the league currently earning top $$ who aren't close to what Price has to offer in terms of talent, youth & unlimited potential. A goalie like him who would play behind a good defence, such as in New Jersey, would look absolutely fabulous, year in & year out.

As for injuries, you've stated the Leafs don't have any. Well, they're new #1 goaltender has been hurt for the most part of the season. Yes, i'm referring to Jonas Gustafson. Toskala is also currently out with a knee injury, but i don't consider him the team's #1 anymore. But their key injury has been to Phil Kessel, who's likely their best player. Kessel has begun working out with the team & should be ready within the next month.

well??????/ maybe he shows up in full scabs player gear, skates and all and refuses to take his helmet off, thus scaring the girl?:eek:



let him have his silly lil fun, quotes and all, he makes me laugh at the things he types, dumbfounded by the lengths of stupidity one person would go thru to make himself feel better because his own team is in the crapper, but it does not surprise me,,,, i think he got sick of being called bandwagon, so now its just trying to save face i guess? no worries, i like goscabsgo, bandwagon or not, he is human just like us all,,,,,, (man am i getting soft or what) :p

These days??? When has he ever posted anything relevant? Have you ever seen a post of his in the outcalls thread (or any other thread, for the matter)? Either we're dealing with a juvenile or even the sps won't f### him! :eek:

Both Toskala and the Monster would be lucky to be a number two goalie on any top team. Besides, like I said, if the team doesn't score goals, they aren't gonna win and, like the habs, the Leafs haven't been scoring many goals lately.

Kessel is an unknown quantity because he hasn't played so much as a game yet in a Leafs' uniform. He may end up as a total dud once he puts that blue sweater on. Besides, by the time he's game ready, the Leafs may be 0-20 and he'll no longer be relevant in any case.:p

Speaking of Kessel, Don Cherry says he feels sorry for the kid when he gets back, he said he's gonna have to much pressure on him to immediately score, and has no marc savard, ,,,,, the HNIC panel went on to say rumors have already begun about the Leafs signing Savard in the near future,,,,,,,

how do you or anyone else know this Tech?????? thats impossible to know at this stage of his career, lol??????

Exactly my point. No one at that stage of his career would be considered as any team's number 1 goalie. Except the Leafs of course. :p
