haha, your just another arrogant leaf's fan, who doesn't know shit... brian burke has never been turned down by owndership when signing a player... do you think they're just going to let franchaise players like b-mo and bert just slip away? not a fucking chance... keep drooling over there in TO... we have something you fat cats will never have... team chemistry... how come with all your money you couldn't sign dick all free agents in the summer? oooh, you landed ed belfour for 7 million dollars... what a STEAL!!!
what aboot markus naslund? 2 years ago he signed an extension for 4.5 million through 4 years, and he was a bonafide all-star at the time too... and he NEVER grudges aboot his contract... we just signed jovo for 5 million... now why would sign a guy like jovo for 5, if we didn't have the scrilla to keep someone like bertuzzi around...
you'll "guarantee" me they wont be in vancouver? hahaha... put your money where your mouth is buddy... ill drive into town and make you a bet this second...
dont compare our character guys to a chump like kovalev... who, by the way, was TRADED... he didn't leave for $$$... learn some shit, before you make bad examples.... guerin would have been a better example...

Tue Dec 31 Toronto Maple Leafs at Vancouver Canucks Toronto Win 5-3
Wins are wins....this is the east which is basically mediocore in terms of good teams, and I'm afraid to break it to you but Toronto is one of the elite teams in the East, mabye not the whole league. But when playoff time comes around this team is among the elite as they put so much heart into their games. The Maple Leafs are an excellent playoff team, they're an average regular season team. They've made the Eastern Conference finals 2 out of the past 4 years. Tell me how many times Vancouver has made the West Conference Finals???? Don't give me that bullshit about the west is too tough. If your team is all high and mighty they would of beat Detroit last year. The nucks had the momentum going back to Vancouver with winning the first 2 games in Detroit and should of at least won one game at home which they did not. I know what your going to say...Oh they were the eventual Stanley Cup champs.....so what!!! Your team had the chance to knock them out. I'll bet the Canucks won't even get out of the first round this year by a major upset with the #6 or #7 seed. I see the Canucks facing Minnesotta in the playoffs, with Minnesotta winning the series.
Why do you think Toronto is jealous of the Canucks. We could care less. We are only concerned about our own team. We have the right to be fans of the Leafs if were from this city.
How can you say our team has no team chemistry??? That just shows ignorance on your part. With Roberts back in our lineup everything is working out well as planned. Yes, there are those few games that the team is off and doesn't play well...big deal!!!!!!!!!!! all the other 29 teams have nights like that as well.
And about the Canucks not being able to re-sign Brendan Morrisson and Todd Bertuzzi. I heard about that concept on Sportsnet's special on the CBA, which had GM's from the league and leading sports analyst talking about the CBA. They brought up the issue that Ottawa and Vancouver have great young talent at the moment that don't earn a lot of money. But when there contracts come up they'll demand big chunks of $$$ since they'll be considered the elite players of the league. And the small market teams like Ottawa and Vancouver might not be able to afford keep them. So don't holler at me, holler at Sportsnet who brought this issue up.
I'm just so sick of arguing about this. I'm proud of my home team and I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. They've got a better shot at making the Finals than the Nucks. Reason why???? They're in the East and it's wide open for any of the 8 teams in the playoff race and the leafs have got the most experience and better goaltending this year.
