Amen to that Speedo. It's amazing how many "so called" Leaf fans whine and moan at this time of year. The Leafs never do anything, never make a deal etc. Everyone else does, we sit idle. Folks, you dont just make a deal for the sake of it. In fact, at times the best deal is the one that never happened.
JFjr will make a deal if it makes sense. the Gonchar deal does not make sense, too high a price for a player with skills we dont need. If anything, we need a Carney type Dman, big, stay at home. The money is there, the Leafs have a payroll in excess of $60 million for christs sake. Get a grip folks, this team is awesome! We are tied for first in the east! We have hung on and maintained our position while missing Roberts, Nieuwy, Belfour, Almo, Nolan, Tucker and others with PROLONGED injuries.
This team is built for the playoffs. It takes a hell of a lot of grit and desire to grind out 16 playoff wins. This Leaf team has what it takes, they know the price that has to be played. This is what seperates them from the rest of the east.
So relax and enjoy this awsome team we have. There is some SERIOUS talent here and we are damn lucky to watch players like Almo, Sundin, Nieuwy night in and night out. I can guarentee, the Leafs are not a team anyone looks forward to playing post season. too deep, too gritty, too willing to pay the price.
Go Leafs go!!
