I’ve liberated myself from this team for now. Not watching any of the games and not watching their advertisers. If they gave me free tickets, I’d sell them and plan a nice weekend getaway. This team is putrid and going nowhere. They haven’t had a heart and soul player on this roster since the days of Roberts, Tucker, Corson and Mogilney. It’s sad to say, but the last 23 years have been dismal. Sure, we’ve seen some great personal milestones for some of the elite players, but none of them have been able to elevate their game in the playoffs. Coach’s come, coach’s go. GM’s come, GM’s go and the song remains the same. Ticket prices up, broadcast revenues up, great for the shareholders. The fans just spinning their wheels and getting older. I won’t live long enough to see them do a rebuild and actually win the Stanley Cup. My fading memory will be watching them win the Cup as a 9 year old boy in glorious black and white. As I’ve said before, the last Cup victory was closer to the inception of the team, in 1917, than today. That’s the disgrace that we all must wear around our necks as Leafs fans. Might as well be cement cinder blocks.
Lighten up Francis. It’s just hockey
