My only question is "how does Torts get off calling the pens whiners when they said absolutely nothing when Mike Rupp laid the dirty hit on Jordan Stall" Did totrts seem to forget about that - what an idiot.

Oh well, I thought I would get an engaging debate but once again I am let down. Best of luck to you and your Oilers. I am done with this thread |

@benhogan - Fair questions so you will now get a fair answer. Do i see this current group making the playoffs in three years you ask? I do not and nor did I suggest that the current group will make the playoff's in 3 years time.
Here are the facts - The Leafs AHL affiliate is currently in second in thier respective conference. They also have the second lowest goal's against - IN THE ENTIRE LEAUGE. For all the heat that Brian Burke has taken for the big club, and rightfully so, he has made up for it in droves with what has happened with the AHL club. In a good percentage of his trade, he has aquired the other teams number one draft selection from a previous year. The marlies have many first round picks. You will start to see those players making appearances next year - you will also see established players being traded for with those first rounders as commodoties. We could speculate all we want about possile moves, trades, and aquisitions but the fact still remains the Leafs will have an influx of very capable players starting to emerge as quality big leaugers. THAT, benhogan, is why the leafs will be very competitive in three years time and making the playoffs will be a no brainer. If you would like to offer a fact based opinion as to why you disagree, by all means please do. |

Being hated goes along with being a Leaf fan. The reason a good majority of people hate the Leafs and Leaf fans is becuase we have the biggest fan base out there. Its not uncommon to see more Leaf fans in an opposing team's arena then fans of the home team. Just the way it is.
If you want are a Leaf fan you just deal with the haters - There are certainly enough of them. I am certainly a Leaf fan first but a fan of hockey in general. It's great to see how Pittsburgh survived a threat of folding. They turned themselves from small market struggling team to powerhouse. It is going to be sad to see what happens there in ten years once Malkin, Crosby, and Stall are all past thier primes becuase they certainly not stocked with talent in the AHL. You heard it here first - In three years the Leafs win the Eastern Conference and then finally bring back the Stanley Cup to Toronto and we dont want you back Mr. Malkin. Keep hating - we are used to it in Leafs Nation |

Nucks are not bouncing back after losing to the lowly Wild. Hammering the Hawks - Money in the bank

Wow - burnt bad on this one. Cant score one goal against one of the worst teams out there. Nucks wont be getting out of the first round and I will be happy to fade them.

Toronto was indeed fantastic yesterday and today and for most of the week as I'm sure most other cities in the vicinity are - sorry about your luck Support81 - Toronto doesnt want you anywhere near it.

Very very painful - Another 2 years and we should be consistent contenders for years to come - the Farm is stocked. One thing Burk has done well is trade for other teams #1 draft picks - Colborne, Gardiner, etc...They will pay dividends soon

On the Coyotes here. Phoenix is a near perfect 3-1 after shutting out their opponent in their previous game this season. Good Luck
