It doesn't matter WHO they are owned by. The simple fact is that they sell out every game no matter what.there's NO mystery surrounding the Maple Leafs - they are a disaster and have been for the past 40 years. As long as they are owned by pension fund they will never do anything. it's the richest hockey franchise on the entire planet with the world's stupidest fans who allow the shit to continue on generation to generation. they can fire everybody in management and trade all the players, nothing will change if the ownership stays the same.
The Leafs had a great team when Gilmour was with them. Unfortunately, they just couldn't get it done back then.
The Leafs will not go far until Sundin is gone. With the salary cap now in place, his high price salary for little return has stumped any growth and talent the Leafs could have built upon.
They also rely too heavily on the shittest european players they can get their hands on... AnDORKpov anyone? Dude gets penalties even when he's not playing.
Raycroft was another mistake. While he had shone in the past, he just hasn't lived up to the hype of his rookie season. Again, if they weren't paying Shitdin so much money, they may have had the money to land one of the best goalies, Luongo.Formerly known as Adult Rental Chris

I always have a soft spot for the guys who are 5'6 - 5'9 .. 150 - 175 lbs (borschevsky, tucker, blake, st. louis, kariya...) since I've always been a smaller guy playing hockey.. I couln't imagine stepping on the ice with the Pronger's / Gill's / Chara's of the NHL and only being 5'9 160lbs... much respect.I died.Comment

I take it Chris is not a Sundin fan.It doesn't matter WHO they are owned by. The simple fact is that they sell out every game no matter what.

I personally have defended Sundin to my friends for years and this is why:
He is a very strong player and has a lot of leadership. You won't see many other player be as strong on the puck around the net and certainly not behind it. He is a play maker and a natural goal scorer. There is a reason he is top on the team and in fact one of the only consistently productive members of the leafs this season. He is a good ambassador to the sport and shows he bleeds blue and white which is important in a market like Toronto. The same reasons Darcy Tucker is still a leaf are the reasons Sundin is a leaf, only Sundin has more weapons than a one timer from the side of the net.
That said, I think if they are out of a playoff position come deadline time it is time to leverage one of the only valuable players on the team and get some good young players on the team. Not draft picks that won't be in the NHL for another year or two, guys who are ready to go next year. Kids yes, but ones who are at the NHL level today.
In the end, JFJ will probably send Wellwood somewhere for a 40 year old in the hopes that we can make the playoffs.Comment

WTF? so the reason they suck is because of the ONLY consistantly good player on the team? I cant really think of any other leaf player that has been playing well this entire season.
The leafs problem is not Sundin, its that the rest are mediocre at best.Comment

In other NHL news:
Alex Ovechkin signed a $124 million, 13-year contract extension yesterday with the Washington Capitals.
Holy Shit!Comment

their prospects are rated very poorly too - with the salary cap there really is little hope for Leafs fans. best thing to do is what Ottawa and Pittsburgh did - bottom right out to the bottom and draft high for 5 years. Leafs did that in the 1980's and STILL fucked it up.
the only thing they can do is hire the best general manager and give him carte blanche to hire the best scouts, coaches. there is no salary cap on what you can spend on management and scouting - which makes having a guy like Ferguson in charge just an incredible insult and fuck you to Leafs fans.
Brian Burke should be given the same deal Colangelo has with the Raptors.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

The Leafs are awesome. From a business stand point at least... they sell out every game, every year, pay little in salaries and the fans don't seem to care. They just keep forking over the dough.Comment
