Yet in almost every other sport this country plays, if we win we like it, if we lose, oh well but that is sport. It is only hockey that makes us this crazy!! Bear with us...it too shall pass....

... '06 Winter Olympics were a grand example of this. :p ;)

happy Canadians. :D :D :D

Canada wins 4-2 in a penalty filled game filled with some suspect calls, but the Russians never gave up and good on them. They looked more like a team then the superstar lead sucks that folded under pressure the last two times they faced the Canadians....

I saw that mess coming a long way off. If you win in 2002, you cannot take the same guys back and expect to win again. 2010 will be the acid test though. How they are picked and who goes will be years of coffee shop discussions, but as long as we have Sid the kid, Luongo and a few other young Canadian stars, we should be ok on home ice.

2006 sucked, but the glow from 2002 was so warm, I kind of took it in a better light...

Leafs score 10 goals against the Bruins! :s hock: Who woulda thunk that that team is capable of scoring that many :p :

Hello I'm back from Toronto! I went to 2 Leafs games (one against Ottawa the other against Boston (5-1 Victory) But the Leafs have been very up and down and are deffinetly playing like a 500 team now.. If the Leafs want to get to the playoffs they better get off their asses and play their heart out!

although it really hurts haveing Wellwood Tucker,Ponikarovsky and Peca out of the line up.....

Raikk, that is the joy of a .500 team. They look good for 2 periods and get pummelled in the last 3 minutes of the third. Raycroft is part of the problem, he is an ok journeyman it appears, and Leaf's fans are more used to having Belfour and Joseph just stoning teams cold. I think in many ways this Leaf's team is no worse than the previous ones, but the superstar in net isn't there. Raycroft tries hard, is a good kid, but he cant do it full time as the star on the horizon. He needs to find a way to find that winning way he had in his Calder year.
