Sleeping giant?
That's not sleeping.
That's a long-term coma.

i am 80% sure that the leafs will make the playoffs next year. they only just missed out last year, and a think the team is better this year. i wouldn't be suprised if the leafs were one of the teams to conced the fewest goals in the league. the defence just looks so solid. goals may still be a bit of an issue, but hopefully connolly will get the best out of kessel.

Jezzer, I'm just having a .
I'm sure you don't live in Canada. The problem here is that all the media and NHL and Hockey Night In Canada are based in Toronto. and are such a bunch of "homers" it's beyond belief.
I do believe the Leafs will do better this year. But the pundits pick the Leafs to do "something" every summer. So, it's allways funny when these experts get it wrong.
Anyway quite happy with Habs picking up Eric Cole and the 2 European D/men.
Would love another decent sized forward as we still have 8 mill before the cap.
That guy Nash plays for the Wild or Bluejackets I think. Wears 61 for Canada. Seriously doubt that though.
Too many Smurfs with the team.
Watching the Flying Frenchmen is good as long as their not flying into the stands after every check.
Saying that Pach is back and we got rid of one of the biggest pieces of deadwood that b-u-m Pouliot
The only reason that <clown> got a contract was his name (French)Sssshhh
Anyway getting carried away here.
All the best for the season ahead.
Roll on October.

you're right triple M, i don't live in canada, but i do have relatives there. most of them live in winnipeg, but that's beside the point.

from what i can gather, hardcore leafs fans are like liverpool fans; eternally hopeful, and often dissapointed.
i do think that there is some basis for hope this season though.

i agree with the media comment you make though, i have noticed that the glode and mail website has a whole section devoted to the leafs, but not to any other team.

You should start supporting the Jets.
Now that their back in the league coaches can use that as a threat again. i.e.: "Smarten up or you're getting traded to the 'Peg.
Gawd it is cold there in the winter.Bbrrrrrrr

i'm too into the leafs now to change, but i will look favourably on the jets. i'm just wondering when phoenix will move north, and possibly north of the border, because it is clearly not an appropriate place for a hockey team based on the huge losses they have been making.

if i were a hockey player, the peg trade threat would not work on me. i am far more intolerant of heat than i am of cold, i think that is the scottish in me. having said that scottish cold is not the same as canadian cold.

i dont live in canada i do support the leafs because it was the first hockey jersey my releatives over there bought me but i genuinely think they really are starting to look promising finally that defence looks tenacious they remind me of tottenham always beleived theyw ere better and have had brilliant players come and go but never a full squad but now they the right man in charge just maybe...... btw i think habs signing cole was a great move cole couldnt do it at edmonton but i still think hes a top top class forward

That's Eric Cole, I believe he's spent his whole career at N. Carolina. Could be wrong tho'.
The Leafs have the biggest market in Hockey but have been plagued with bad ownership/management for decades.
Allways a good game between the Habs and Leafs tho.
Espscially when we spank you.

ah it always reminds me of the Tottenham Arsenal but i think the gap is starting to close burke has shown himself as a whiley fox with his moves recently.

I don't even know if i'm playing it, but it's an titanic effort. Many thanks, Dan!

Do you accept though, that it’s clearly stifling the party? Might it be best for a new party to emerge?
