Montreal is having troubles (and not for the first time - think of the many scandals involving Lafleur, not to mention Chelios, Roy, Corson, etc. etc.), but it's hard to believe ANYTHING could make the shitbag Leafs look good!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!........ Seems the shoes on the other foot so to speak, Leafs are the Class orginization of Canada! (even when rebuilding for the NEAR FUTURE!) .....Toronto = Hockey Capital

Truth hurts? the fact is Toronto is not far behind Montreal point wise and the way the habs are going, its not likely but a remote possibility that the Leafs could finish very close to the habs point wise, again not likely but ya never no, AND this coming from a tor team whos rebuilding and expected to be horrible ALLLLLLLLLLLL season , btw they have not been, and a mtl team who was to contend for the cup............ again , TRUTH HURTS HUH?????:D :D :D



Field hockey?

Say it ain't so!! I want the Leafs to finish as close to the bottom as possible. Drafting either John Tavares or Victor Hedman will cut the amount of years it'll take to rebuild in half. They won't make the playoffs this year anyways, so even though i'll watch every single Leafs game & cheer when they score a goal, i'm not totally unhappy when they lose a game since it means it gives a chance to teams such as Tampa Bay, Ottawa & Atlanta to surpass them in the standings. Of course, i hope they beat the Habs everytime they play them, of course. How could i cheer against them when they play the hated Habs?

The Isles look like a lock to grab last place. But there are rumours floating around that John Tavares won't report to them if they draft him. As for the possibility of Atlanta finishing 2nd last, it's a possibility, but considering nobody's going to their games, there's a good chance the team will either fold or move somewhere else.

As for the Leafs presently being a classier organization, it's quite plausible. The Leafs ALWAYS were a classy organization & had mostly competitive, playoff-type teams when they were run by the likes of Cliff Fletcher, Ken Dryden & Pat Quinn. They hit a stumbling bloc when they brought in JF Jr. and gave him carte blanche. But now with people such as Brian Burke, Dave Nonis & Joe Niewendyk running the franchise, they're on the right track once again.

As for the Habs having more scandals than the Leafs, i'll be fair & admit that the night life in both cities are like night & day. There are much more temptations in Mtl as compared to Toronto. Plus the fact that for some strange reasons, Habs fans look at every single Habs player as a demi-God. I mean....ONLY in Mtl would you have anyone adulating over the likes of Guillaume Latendresse, Patrice Bouillon, Steve Begin, Sergei Kostitsyn & many others. In most of the other NHL cities, players of their calibre are invisible. In french, DES DEUX DE PIQUES!! (Hockey bums)

The Leafs are a make work project. They are constantly rebuilding, kinda like the Champlain bridge.

In Toronto, NEAR FUTURE means sometime in the next millenium.:D

Yup...TRUTH HURTS HUH?????:D :D :D

As the ol' proverb goes, "PEOPLE LIVING IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T BE THROWING STONES." :D

p.s. 10-12 Habs players will be unrestricted free agents come season's end. Most of them are not expected to return. If that's not considered rebuilding a franchise (or about to), i don't know what is. That many unrestricted free agents on a team is totally unheard of! :eek:

Doc, this is Montreal. We don't rebuild, we just keep patching the potholes hoping they don't get big enough to swallow us whole! :D

Looks like we'll have a lot of patching to do next year. Having 10 UFAs on a team is an insane situation and it will be very interesting to see how the team looks next year.

Toronto is a proud franchise, and Leafs Nation has not been happy with the way the Ferguson era went, but we are on the right track, and habs fans no it, and thats the truth, and "YOU" know it :D

Tech, your post simply put = "Habs 2009-2010 A Season for the construction workers, rebuilding a once proud franchise formerly known as the Montreal Canadiens":eek:

Kostitsyn brothers will likely get suspended by Gary Bettman for 'conduct detrimental to the league's image':

http://www.montrealgazette.com/Sports/Expect+Bettman+weigh+Kostitsyn+controversy/1316176/story.html

Makes me wonder what Serge Kostitsyn's feud with Mike Grabovski is all about. Could it be over a woman? Just speculating.

Hobbyist brothers will likely be suspended

Six games for a repeat offender = zero games for first time offenders.
