Got to love my fellow Canadians for staying true to their team, no matter how shitty, but unless someone else steps in or the fans boycott the games, nothing will change.
Who knows maybe we'll bring back Wendel Clark, Doug Gilmour and Nikolai Borschevsky for a late season playoff run where we have to win 25 games in a row to make the playoffs...fucken idiots.
Ahhh feel so much better now...sorry for the rant.

not picking on you hear but keep hearing people say this and I completely disagree...with part of it ;)
They do suck this year, and so far, but the owners do want to win.. Winning creates brand new generations of fans, expands the fan base even. Over time fans get older and start to forget about victories in the past. I have seen a lot of kids around the toronto area and i see a lot of teams jerseys being worn! if they built a winning team there would be a hell of a lot more. How many jays jerseys you see around when they won the world series back in 92/93? A lot more than you see now anyway.
One thing is for sure though, GM's and even sometimes coaches can be seriously over rated. Burke put a team together that won the cup fantastic! Doesn't mean he can do that again though. If he did it a number of times i would consider it more but he hasn't.
I think he is no different then when quinn was in power really. all the same kind of hard nosed players (which usually means they can't skate), all have to be canadian or american and over 27 to get any ice time.. which is actually a pretty bad way to run things. Shit no wonder they are losing.
