I generally prefer to expound on my various political annoyances rather than discuss hockey, but this weekend got me going.Don't get me wrong, I'm both Canadian and a boy so I love the hockey. I just prefer to get a drink at the water cooler a get back to bitching about the shit that really messes with my life. That said, I think the Mapleleafs may be messing with my life. I'm not a young pup but I have yet to witness a winning Leaf season in my entire life. Now, they seem to be getting worse rather than better.Whose fault is it?In the past 40 years, what common factor is there? Management? Ownership? Players? Venue? It's all changed but still no cup. So, Ferguson will be gone, good riddance. Sundin is probably on thin ice and rightfully so. I mean, Mats is a fine player but he's never been much of a leader... and he's old.But I think the only prevailing problem that has been pretty constant for the past 40 years is us, the fans. The Leafs keep losing in front of sell-out crowds! Out of the playoffs for a second year in a row and the cattle keep filling the stands. The Leafs are not starved for cash yet they can't throw a solid team on the ice. As long as the revenue keeps pouring in, where's the incentive to get their shit together? Obviously, the carrot isn't working so they need the stick.I can't call for a big boycott like the oh so successful boycotts on gas stations, but people need to stop and think for a second... "What am I getting for my entertainment dollar?" What incentive does TML Entertainment have to improve the product when the consumers keep lapping it up? Maybe, more appropriately, the Leafs need to ask themselves... "What are we giving the fans for their entertainment dollar?" Or maybe the just don't give a flying fuck... rich people can be that way.Well, Mr Tanenbaum, do you feel good about what you offer and what you get paid for it? Hmmmm?an original unsupervised rant

German browns ???? !god me too, its spring and in another 2 or 3 months the snow will be out of the high places where I back pack and fish.I can not fuckign wait to get my fly fishing shit from the garage and head back into remote streams and try to catch some big ugly hook mouthed browns !Mr U, Iv always beena redwings fan, since I was about 10.Its only in recent years and not the last few either, that my team kicked some ass and took a cup.The bad thing about your team winning is that you wear the same hat you been wearing for years and the same t shirts and now all of a sudden since they won, your a fucking bandwagon jumper.I still hate Colorado, always have an I hate Patrick ROY, and I dont give a shit, that says ROY, not fucking wa. I never cared much for the leafs, I like hartford, NY rangers and boston bruins, Philly penguins. I am also rather fond of winnipeg.I have no basis for any team I like aside from detroit, they once owned the salt lake golden eagles, at the time I got into hockey all those years ago.Now fucking dallas owns the local team and I hate dallas. It was a sad day for me when the eagles pulled up and left the state and no hockey anytmore for a few years till the grizzlies became the team in town.They came as a championship team and nwo havent seen a cup or even a glance at one since they were draged down by Utah.
