Yes, we're only pretty much the hockey capital of the world. We house the two most successful teams of all time.
>>




I won't argue with you about the Canadiens but you the Leafs? It might be religion in Toronto but you guys haven't even sniffed the Finals since you last won a cup in 66-67

In fact since the NHL split up into 2 conferences in 67-68 you guys have been out of the playoffs as much as in them.You might have won 11 Stanley Cups back in the original 6 days but have done nothing since expansion. Only twice since they increased the schedule to 76+ games in 68-69 have you even scored 100+ points in a season (100 in 99-00 and this year as well)


In saying that you're the second most successful in terms of championship you're correct but that's not saying all that much given there was only 6 teams and hockey wasn't that big of a deal in the states.

Hockey is our game. Get over it. :)

So yes, I'd say I'm justified in saying that Canada is pretty much the hockey capital of the world.
>>





I never questioned Canada being the hockey capital of the world,in fact I can't think of 1 reason why it woudln't be


I just don't think the Maple Leafs 11 Stanley Cups are that big of an accomplishment is all I'm saying.

We just lost our top offensive player and captin in Mats Sundin, we're still without out top defencement in Yushkevitch, we're also missing Cory Cross so we're severely lacking in depth on the blue-line.
Joseph still isnt 100%.
Barasso is out. (Not that this makes much difference the way Schwab has been playing, and Joseph at least well enough to start)
Another top offensive player in Mikael Renberg is out.

The scary thing is... that's not even all of their injuries.

If you still have faith in the Leafs after that then I admire you.
My opinion has dropped to Toronto over the Islanders in 7. Toronto will be out in the next round within 6 games.

So much for my boundless hopes for the leafs eh? lol

I'll say one thing for the Leafs... I may have given up, but the players obviously havent as their still playing like they believe they can win.

:) Go Leafs. Geez, have you guys ever checked out Espn.com's forums? Nothing but childish bashing of each others teams... but that's sports for ya I guess.

Those injuries to Mike Peca and Kenny Jonsson were kind of overrated. Tucker's hit on Peca was a clean hip check. Robert's hit was definately charging on Jonsson but geez... anyone who plays hockey knows that you should never face the boards when you're retrieving the puck... you should always turn to your side. Ah well... hope the guys are alright and it's nothing serious.

Yes, I still think we don't have a chance. Even as hurt as the team is we can take the Isles in 7 though. The Leafs'll be taking a vacation after 6 in the next round though.

How ironic, last year I had more posts in the Leafs thread that anyone else... now I'm prophesising against them.
I'd love to see the Leafs do well, but their just too hurt.

LOL.. I'd like to see Carolina eliminate the Devils... Kevin Weekes was amazing in that last game. Besides.. I don't even know why New Jersey even has a team.. fan support isn't very good.

As do I... for obvious reasons.
I love Ottawa though, because they always seem to fall apart as soon as they meat the Leafs :D



<< Those injuries to Mike Peca and Kenny Jonsson were kind of overrated. >>



Jonsson, I like that guy... IMHO he is really under-rated. I mean he gets a lot of respect but I think he's still got room to improve more. A very solid defencemen.



<< I don't even know why New Jersey even has a team.. fan support isn't very good. >>



Were you around to see the battles between the Leafs fans and Stefan (A Devils fan) last year? :)



BTW.. What is up with Peca?
He's been throwing insults at the Leafs players all series so far. Sundin, Joseph, Tuckey, Domi have all had a few insults thrown their way.

I notice their has been lots of talk in the news that these might be Joseph's last few games as a Leaf.... personally I'm betting Toronto resigns him though.

One last comment, I still say Montreal to upset Boston in 7. :)

I'm not taking it too seriously... there's always that kind of talk in every series every year. But he's a great player.. wouldn't mind having that Toronto native on the team :D

The hit on Jonsonn was a penalty but not 5 mins.
1. The guy is a wuss. was when he played for Toronto, still is now.
2. He saw Roberts coming, he looked at him, turned back towards the boards, and tried to get away from him, otherwise he wouldve headed for behind the net.
In the replays, Jonsonn looks over his right shoulder where roberts is coming from, he knew he was there. He might not remember it now, too bad he might not remember it, coz he needs to learn.
3. He ducked down, and there by his head goes down, and hits the boards. instead of standing up and taking a hit like a man, coz he's a wuss.

It would've been a 2 min, or double minor at most, but because he ducked down and hit his head, and is a wuss he couldnt get up.

The hit on Peca was sweet.

Sorry I haven't been posting...was busy getting hammered last night. Ugh. :disgust: :)

W00T! Leafs!! I did catch the 6-3 score on the TV when i was coming back from seeing Jason X and hitting the beer store though :)

Now we have home ice advantage so it's looking more and more possible. Sorry I doubted you Leafs :D

I'm realistic. ;)
Besides, I still said they wiould take the Islanders. I just don't expect them to last long in the second round, though that'll depend whom they come up against of course.
