Hockey Fans!

I'm a die hard Leafs fan, but they suck. Management keeps on making money and doesn't give a shit.
Thanks to the freakin' idiot decision makers at Rogers, I'm starting to think that some of you Leaf fans may be right about TO being the centre of the hockey world.
Again tonight, the Habs are playing and none of the Rogers monopoly networks are showing the game. But we have the Lightning and Bruins on a few channels.
I pay a premium to have RDS specifically for this reason and since Rogers took over the bulk of the broadcasts, the Habs's games on RDS are blacked out here.
I wonder how they'll manage the playoffs if Montreal goes a few rounds.

I'm a Habs fan ever since I saw Cournoyer and Beliveau. I love to watch the Leafs lose and listen to the constant Leaf talk around town... it is an endless tragic soap opera. I will be leading the celebration signifying 50 years of futility coming up in only 2 years! Watch for it and order your T-shirt NOW!
It was de-moralizing to the Leafs thereafter, when The Great One became The Untouchable One.
Loyalty to the home team, or are you one of those guys who follow whoever is leading in the standings?
Lost my interest in the NHL after the 04/05 lockout. My team is Team Canada. It doesn't matter if it's Men's, Women's or Junior's. If they have the red maple leaf on the jersey, I'm watching.
Leafs fall flat against many other Canadian teams
Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver all are alot better
Winnipeg not so much (lol)
Ottawa is better regular season but just as bad come playoff time
Home team only if you live in Toronto proper and not a burb like Etobicoke or Scarborough
Otherwise you are just cheering for a closer team
Edit - And "loyalty"???
People watch sporting events to see great players
If you are not in the ACC does it really matter what colour jersey they are wearing? On TV you are not "supporting" the Leafs
Plus the obvious fact the team leading the standings tends to be the best team to watch as they usually have the best talent
etobicoke, scarborough, York, east York and north York are all part of Toronto since they were amalgamated.
All those Red Sox fans who supported their team all those decades without a championship. I get that. Like many hockey fans who live in Toronto, the Leafs are part of us like shitty traffic, and crappy transit. Toronto is our home, the Leafs our team.
So, are there any other hockey fans on Terb or is this thread quiet because most of you are Leafs fans and they are, yet again, having another déjà vu? 
Gabriella, I just renewed my boss' Leaf subscription today. No price increase if you do so before March 24th (otherwise, 5%). Two Platinums including club fees - $25K! Most of the fans are corporate customers, not die hard hockey fans.So, are there any other hockey fans on Terb or is this thread quiet because most of you are Leafs fans and they are, yet again, having another déjà vu?
BTW, I don't think many Leaf fans will boo at you in that nice, form-fitting Montreal tee shirt that we see in your sig pic.
