The Truth about the Leafs

[Esco!]

Here's a letter written to the Sun that sums up our Leafs perfectly:

"Let's be honest about MLSE, Peddie and the teachers' (pension plan). They don't care about winning the Cup, they care about selling tickets, merchandise and now condos. One of the most popular teams and the most profitable team in the league and they hire a rookie GM who has no idea how to create a winning team. They did the same thing with the Raptors and the only reason Babcock was fired was because attendance was down and they weren't selling tickets. The only way we will get a winning team here is to stop going to see them play. That will effect their bottom line and they will make changes. It's the only language they speak ... dollars and cents."

- Chris Aspros, Richmond Hill, March 10 -

I dont think I could have phrased it better than this guy

I haven't gone to a leafs or raptors game all season. I'm not spending 3 cents on these losers. Ripoff even to watch them free on TV. The lineup of SP's in T.O. these days isn't much better.

I hear you Esco. Before I used to think that Leaf nation would never be totally disappointed with what we have on the ice. Now it is not only embarassing but hard to believe the most profitable team in the NHL can be this bad. And as for someone that can't watch the games but only view stats and the standings, it is pitiful. I hope Leaf nation wakes up and starts to really give this organization a peice of their mind otherwise they will continue this slump and embarass the home of hockey.

Fascinating Comparison!!!

Hmmm...very intriguing comparison indeed!!! The good doc wonders how bad this is a case of faulty comparison, much more so than just a questionable comparison of apples with oranges??? Would definitly love to hear the esteemed terbites' opinions on this one. Wonder how many SPs will respond to this??? Perhaps they are not into sports but only sexercises. LOL!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every time my sister, who is a teacher by the way, hears someone say GO LEAFS GO she laughs her head off. All the way to the retirement bank

I will not purchase my seasons tickets next year..... first time my dad or myself have not had tickets in 42 years.
I just refuse to unless they make an effort.

I completely agree.
I don't watch their games, or buy their shit anymore.
I tell my brothers/sisters and parents not to and they all stopped.
Oh and hi, I'm new
