I live in Toronto, Canada and it is a huge sports city as is the entire country. I love the Raptors, Blue Jays, Argos, Marlies, Toronto FC and the Leafs. Hockey is Canada's pastime and I watch a lot of hockey. My team unfortunately is the Toronto Maple Leafs. They have missed the playoffs again this year making it 3 years in a row that they are on the outside looking in. Very disappointing but thats what you get when your team is mismanaged and run by a bunch of suits that know nothing about the game. A few years ago the hired John Ferguson Jr. as the GM, however he was fired a few months ago to make way for former Toronto GM, Cliff Fletcher. He didn't do much prior to this years trade deadline and I don't forsee an improvement in the years to come beacuse they have traded away all there young prospects for a bunch of old players that are on there way out. Take Brad Boyes for example. He is ahving a monster year for the St. Louis Blues. A former Leaf prospect traded away. Nice work MLSE(Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment), the forementioned morons that run this team into the ground. I feel bad for our best player, Mats Sundin, he has been in the league a long time and since coming to Toronto from The Nordiques early in his career he really hasn't had much post season succesn't here. I will always bleed Blue and White however sometimes this is a team you love to hate. Cheers.
