do you think that the Toronto Maple Leafs suck?

Well I think they're in between 'struggling' and 'sucking'.  Their age is catching up with them (not to mention their lack of speed.  They could be the slowest team in the NHL).  \nBlues = sucking\nBlackhawks = sucking\nPenguins = sucking\nPanthers = sucking\nLeafs = licking

Rumor is it's a separated shoulder.....Regardless we are without his talent for about 10 days.\n\nWe did manage to set a new road win record for the start of the season tonight with a win against the Rangers---if that's any consolation.\n\nThe Leafs played great, no question about it on Saturday.  Makes you wonder where they are a lot of the "other times".  I really wanted to see them beat Belfour on Thursday but they were just flat as pancakes.

Constant scrutiny i would think. That team has been under the gun for years now. They just cant pull the trigger in the playoffs, kinda like Ottawa. Look at all the changes both these teams have endured because of it. Both Ottawa and Philly have had very weak goaltending in the playoffs, both have been knocked out because of it. Both changed coaches a few times and still nothing to be proud about. Unlike Ottawa who seems to be stepping it up a bit, Philly has faltered and given up. \nI think Forsberg and Esche need to be traded. Not because they are bad players cause they deffinately arnt but both look bitter and cant seem to keep up a trend. Atleast bring in some new blood to change things up. Gagne is the heart of the team and i think Nittymatti and Beauchemin should be able to guide them in the pipes.. Doesnt help that they dont have a proven coach yet and the upper management isnt really seeing eye to eye yet.. it all effects them and shows by how they are playing on the ice.

Yes, I think they are horrible. \nIn fact, they are only good in sports they invented. \nIt's easy that way.\nI, myself, invented a very nice sport, in which I am the best in the world!

They added Kubina and Gill to a completely different blueline. That was really their only problem last year, no defense besides Kaberle. McCabe is good, but hes not exactly a defensive player. \n\nPaul Maurices style of play is also much better than Quinns, at the NHL level coaching really does have a huge impact. Toronto now plays with speed and style, instead of crash bang/dumping and chasing. \n\nAll you haters are pathetic, spending all your time bashing TO, we don't need your negative vibes. Toronto is a good team, theyre no fluke, theyve missed the playoffs only 3 times since 1992. Thats pretty solid. See you in May!

I really appreciate Georgie Peorgies comment that it would be nice to see some Canadians teams because "after all, it is a Canadian sport and why did us Americans take it away."\n\nExactly.  \n\nNashville was facing elimination tonight and they didn't even sell out the arena.  Lame.  I mean, what else was happening tonight in Nashville?  Country music?  WWE Wrestling?  Doesn't matter, that's your interest, certainly not hockey.  Who's bright idea was it to take away a perfectly good hockey team in Winnipeg and Quebec (crawling with hockey fans) and create a team in freakin' Nashville?  Someone (hmmm Gary Bettman) should be shot.\n\nHere in Montreal people are crawling all over each other just to get a seat in a bar.  It's stupid and it pisses every single Canadian off right down to the bone.  And we're sorry about winning the World Series' back in the day,  (when the Blue Jays won all those years back).  I would trade that 1000 times over just to see the Stanley Cup back in Canada thank you very much. \n\nOkay, onto the real discussion:  New Jersey and San Jose.  There's no question.  I would love to see Edmonton, or Calgary, or Montreal or Ottawa, but if these teams all make the 2nd round, they'll eliminate each other.\n\nBesides, no one can beat New Jersey now.  15 wins in a row!?  I mean, Elias is so much on fire that you can practically see fire burning off his jersey, Brodeur is a stone wall with experience, and Gionta, Madden, etc. it doesn't matter:  No one is beating New Jersey (I say this, and I am a true New Jersey Devils hater.  I hate New Jersey and their stupid faces.) \n\nSan Jose is also too strong.  Calgary's the only team with a chance, and I don't like their chances.\n\nSo:  New Jersey vs. San Jose and New Jersey in 4.\n\nPS - what really pisses us Canadians off is that like %60 of the league is Canadian.  So we're seeing Canadians fighting Canadians every single night in the name of some lame team name like "the Predators" to a crowd that rates the excitement factor of the game somewhere between darts and lawn bowling.  Stupid.  Bettman can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

First of all (and the asker is not one of these people) I'm sick and tired of all these squirrels whining about how the Oilers wiped out the Wings... get over it.  The Oilers are better than the credit everyone gives them.  The Wings lost, life sucks, get over it.\n\nNow with that out of the way, SJ will slaughter EDM.  Roli, along with most other netminders, can't hold off Thorton and Cheechoo.  I'm a Wild fan and loved Roli when he was here.  He's (and Pronger) are the reason they made it to the playoffs.

Assuming you mean the Toronto Maple Leafs (sorry, not a ice hockey addict), they last won in the 66/67 season. It seems the final game in this series was May 2nd, so as of today (June 24th 2006) it's been 14298 days (but don't worry, it's been over 16500 days since my team last won the league here in the UK :(

--> Leafs fan in Toronto.\nBut I'd agree with anyone who Say's they stink. Simply, because they do.\nI no longer attend games because I believe management doesn't really care if they win or lose. The Leafs make $$$ anyway.\nEvery friggin game is sold out, win or lose.

I watched the game last night with the coyotes I think that SJ was playing better but just not putting the puck in the back of the net many great scoring Chance but not many goals. Cujo has also has a 30-7-0 record against the sharks so I don't see a change in that unless the sharks step it up a notch. I like what I saw of the sharks but if they want to win they need to keep crashing the net and stop with the bad turn overs. also stop giving away odd man rushes. As for the chances of making the play-offs not to good a lot of teams in the running will have to drop the ball for this to happen. Go Leafs and Canadians and ottawa :)

Sorry, I'm missing the joke. Is T.O.'s tap water brutal and Mtl's pea soup terrible? All I know is the Make Beliefs and Habnots can have their own lovefest. There are other teams in Canada and we wouldn't mind them being seen on TV in prime time (not dumped as the scrapends of double headers on Hockey Night in Toronto with Bob "Ottawa player passes to Ottawa player,,,I can't be expected to know non-Laffs!" Cole) without all this Eatsern bias over what really are, let's face facts, two mediocre teams who are not getting to Finals any season soon unlike say the Oil or the Lames have of late. \n\nFingers crossed the stupid Nux get some scoring as they finally have the goalie they needed.

Hey HABITANT, it's okay. It's just one game. Maybe the Leafs will have a bad game next time and just win 4-1 instead of 5-1. Leaf Bug! you're right. Now that the Leafs have won 4 in a row and 7 of the last 8, no one's saying anything about us anymore. I wonder what'll be on this forum when we win the Cup. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are a bit slow for the new NHL and the years of Clarke and his ilk has finally come to a head.\n\nThey haven't flipped over from being a ''Broad street Bully" type team to being quicker and a little more skilled.  Not to say they don't have skilled players.\n\nSomething is way off with the chemistry and stunts like Snider offering Colin Campbell the GM spot going behind Holmgren's back is a pretty good example of crappy management.\n\nHe's tried to put that one right but offering him the job longer term, but that's a tough thing to forget.\n\nNitty is decent and so is Esche, I don't know what the goalie situation is, but having Hatcher on D is not doing them any favors at a -16 his days of ruling the ice are behind him.\n\nI think within 3 years the team will be re-worked and once again be a force to be reckoned with.  I think it's going to take a fairly long time and some radically new thinking.\n\nWell....you asked!

zdrub your personal beliefs are stupid. To me you sound like a hater. DONT HATE!! NHL SUCKS

Bad refs!! (Just kidding)\n\nUmmmm - We don't know. Personally - I looked at every single aspect (including ownership Bill) \nPhila has made a lot of changes in every different catagory.\nEsche has to go and he wants to go. / Nittymaki is a backup goalie who'se only playing because Esche's heart is not in Phila.\n\n*I'm only now beginning to agree that Hatcher has to go. / An enforcer was called up from the minors today and that's a damn-good indication that they're looking to get rid of their old enforcer - Hatcher.*\n\n**Peter did not skate tonight - he has the flu. The flu?\nOK - With-that Phila played their best game in a long long time... so this might be an indication of some captain-conflicts within the team.... / I have said since the season began that Gagne should be captain but Gagne held-out for more $\n*Peter is also having reoccuring ankle problems and the Flyer's new GM stated today that he's not untradable. / At the end of the season he's free-picking for any team.\n\nIn short - I don't know..\nBut I can say that I love these kids and I'm proud of them.

Yes they are the worst team ever.
