A: Being a Leaf FAN.
Ugh, I hate the team and their fans are even worse.
I was just perusing through the TSN website and came across an article about the Avalanche. It stated that Pierre Lacroix would not be picking up the option for next year on the contracts of Joe Sakic and Rob Blake [link]. This is pretty big news coming out of Denver so I wanted to check out what other people had to say. I scrolled down to the comments section and sure enough, there were at least 20 people saying 'they sure would look good in a Leafs uniform' or 'Bring em to the Leafs'. Bleh.
It was even worse during the offseason. If there was ANY news on ANY big name that was available, at least half of the comments were delusional Make Belief fans posting cries of persuasion as if they were summoning their combined telepathic powers to lure the big name free agent to the so-called centre of the hockey universe. In a way it did work as they were able to pull in Eric Lindros and Jason Allison, although both took too many shots to the head to know any better.
Yes Leaf fans, go sign everybody and then try to figure out how they would fit under that little thing called the cap. Hmmm, I guess they didn't get the memo. Well, here's another memo for you Leaf fans:
# of Cups won by the Oilers and Flames since '67: 6
# of Cups won by the Maple Leafs since '67: 0
And don't expect that number to change for the Leafs any time soon.
