You still do not get it
The point is that you can not say with certainty what someone else will or will not do.
First game = a W! I'd like to comment on the game, still early I know, but:
-When was the last time any Leafs scored a SH goal? I like the new higher energy level Bozak displayed last night, what do you say about the choice between him and Grabbo? I think Leafs made a hard and good choice.
-Our dear Rheimer is solid in goal and deserving a win, but still he does not quit making my heart skip with his handling of the puck or with his own stick...
-Number 2 has been valuable in this game, is it because of a contracting year, or he has set aside all the criticism and mature into his role?
Let's game 2 begin tonight! GO LEAFS GO!

The lesson to be learned is that we, as outside observers looking in, have very little idea what goes on in the dressing room, management offices and players heads.
It always astounds me, the number of predictions made by people who are on the outside, yet are so positive of those predictions.
Nice to see a lot of goals in first night of the season .. Smaller goalie bads maybe or just one of those nights and not a trend . Garbo 3 goals and 1 assist . Good for him and I never going to say his buyout a bad idea . Although
Randy Carlyle was once wrong when he had Joffrey Lupul but Garbo output this year could be cause he is on a one year contract .

Congrads to Grabbo, I've always like his fierceness... Toronto gave up on him due to the salary cap and his ineffectiveness last year, but he is still a good player and the main thing is he loves to play still. We'll see how he does for the whole season, all the best wish to him. I just do not like the emotional way he lashed out at RC when he was bought out, I would just take the money and have fun if I were him (fat chance I WERE him
).He did apolgoize a couple of weeks ago .. He also loved T.O and became a Canadian Citizen and wanted to make T.O his pernment home and that maybe why he was so angry .Congrads to Grabbo, I've always like his fierceness...

Now if they can only rein in the size of the bucket on the goalies catching hand, it's ridiculous.
Sure you do, in some small part. We watch on TV. Watching pumps the TV ratings and gives the stations the desire to grab as many Leaf game as they can fit into their schedules, which in turn prompts companies to buy ad time(commercials) .... trickle down effect ..... it ends up in the Leafs vault and when it comes time to sign players they open the vault.
Thanks for watching.
I do my part by watching on TV or listening on radio, buying all kinds of merchandise and the occasional ticket(s).
Now, ... after they finally appear to have all their ducks in a row ?
Good ownership, good management, ... now you decide to throw in the towel ?
I got my station in a whole package, so the "cost" for Leafs' game is none to me. I tried to distance myself from the salary talk, I feel detached when ticket price increase happen or when they throw money away on someone, easier that way. Truly I do not feel even a micro bit of ownership in the team's money side, just like to enjoy the game by itself.
I heard someone has coined the phrase "Bay Street Bullies". At first, I thought they were referring to my banker.
What is obvious is that you do not distinguish the difference between giving an opinion and stating your opinion as a fact
Look, this has the potential to turn into a ugly pissing match, so lets just leave it at that
Actually it was a few years ago.....didn't even watch a single game last year. At this point I'm going to need third round of the playoffs minimum......too much shitty water under the bridge. We've seen the promises before...over and over.
I'm not saying don't be a fan.....but be a critical one at this point. And if they aren't playing up to to snuff...don't make excuses......and let them know with your feet and eyes.
Rogers and Bell bought the team for live content because they are bleeding cable subscibers. If ratings went down then they would have to address it. That's the point.
