Who sucks? - Yesterday it was the Can(s)ucks.....:)
I don't even want to tell you how much it costs for my company to own half of a Platinum Box (I am embarrassed actually)! That's right I have to share my box with Aviva (the insurance guys) because we can't even get our own box. We have been on a waiting list for 6 years now. Plus every time I go down the food and booze costs me anywhere from $1,200 to $1,600 bucks (we have 10 seats/tickets per game including Raptors, Leafs and Concerts). For those of you bad in Math that's about $120 - $150 per person, despite the hundreds of thousands we pay every year for the box.
I think these are the prices that are sold directly from them MLSE, there's a window of tickets open at the start of the year and after all the tickets sell out (which usually happens within hours) the people turn around and sell the tickets at a higher cost. Illegal? yep. Who's gonna stop it? No one... !! go habs go! My aunts company had a box as well, they were given the same 10 seats and shared the box with another company too...they ended up getting rid of it last year, the boss said that it wasn't worth it from the start and now its just ridiculous.
Problem is if you get rid of the box that you SHARE, you will never get the chance to get another one back! You get put on the regular waiting list which is 10 times as long!
I love the Habs, but you can attribute that loss to the brutal officiating. Halak had a great game, though.
Any thoughts of Burke? and what he will do with this team toronto has?? deadline is in a few days, whos coming and going?
It doesn't matter who is there. The Leafs will never change. I'd be surprised if they do anything at all this year!
All I've heard so far is that the asking price for Antropov is a first round pick and Schenn is the only off limits player on the team. I expect to see the leafs make quite a few moves at the deadline. Burke will probably be trying to unload Kaberle, Kubina, Pony, Blake, and Antropov especially. Kaberle has given Burke a list of 10 or so teams he's willing to waive his no-trade clause to go to, so there is a possibility of moving him. I'm not sure about Kubina's contract status, I think he has a no trade clause as well. We'll see what happens, should be an interesting day for leaf fans.
Thank goodness. The only player who is giving a consisent performance is blake. I also don't think they would change the goaltending situation they have either. But I'm sure they SHOULD BE acquiring a few big name defensemen and a few forwards. Please get rid of antropov though, he HAS potential to play, he just never does. I also hope he doesn't grab an all young-team either.
i dont know what better way to say this but .... the leafs suck as much as i want to like them .. i just cant
Well, they need improvement. I just hope Burke pulls whatever his plan off is, in a year, not two or three.
+1 as much as i hate the leafs at it is (Habs fan, always) the leafs just plain and simple they suck! every year is a rebuilding year, every year something new happen which will set them up for the next 2 to 3 years of building i'd love to see the leafs actually make a decent playoff run, forget winning the cup, but just get into the playoffs into the 2nd maybe 3rd round even...for a team thats worth the most, "recession proof", and will always have repeat customers no matter what they do...they dont have anything to show for it
The Habs arnt going far in the off season dont worry. I hope the leafs get rid of poni, antro, kabby, kubina, & a lot more euro players. No way we will move blake, contact is to big, & he is crap in the dressing room.
It's dumb. You'll only increase more cheap shots and more injuries. The NHL needs to get instigator penalty.
So, Moore and Antropov are gone so far. They've aquired Gerber and about 3 draft picks. Not as much selling as some of us hoped.
Yeah it was a dissapointing deadline day. We also shut down Toskala for the rest of the season for surgery so we can get used to seeing gerber playing regularly for the remainder of this year
I'm not sure what the plan was... but I mean, anyone of us on FChat could pull more strings and shape up the leafs then that.....
Atleast we got some picks back, i was hoping poni would be gone. Now we can look forward to the draft & july 1st. Now we have gerber we should be able to drop to the bottom 5 i hope.
Very dissapointing session for the leafs. Not much was accomplished at all. I'm angry that Moore was let go, he was a great 2nd line centre, he could have developed into a first liner if they kept him. The leafs have lots of cap space, why not give him what he wants? Moore actually likes to play fast and hard! I guess this season is over as of now, not much point in watching anymore games considering they won't be in the playoffs, and no one being motivated because their contracts are secure for 09/10 anyways.
