I Haven't Forgotten

I Haven't Forgotten

From CanadianThinker.com - April 23, 2009

"I guarantee for at least the next five years the Toronto Maple Leafs will finish ahead of the Montreal Canadiens in the standings. Do you hear me? Do you comprehend Hab fans, the next five years."

No I haven't forgotten and I'm not backing down.

Hab fans are all revved up over the off-season acquisitions of Bob Gainey, but Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta are a couple of under-achievers whose best days are behind them.

They're a little on the small side too, which means as the season drags on they'll slowly disappear much like Alex Kovalev did on many an occasion for the Habs.

However, I must say. Gomez and Gionta have a lot more heart that Kovalev, who fittingly became an Ottawa Senator during the off-season. Talk about the perfect fit.

I will give the Habs credit for one move during the off-season. Mike Cammalleri, although a little on the small side like Gomez and Gionta is a fine hockey player.

Problem is, he aint' too bright. Apparently he could have signed with the Leafs but chose to Montreal instead. I hope he doesn't mind getting pushed around.

Can you imagine? He had the opportunity to join the Leafs and be surrounded by some size, but instead chooses the Habs who are headed in the opposite direction of the Leafs.

I guess he wants to be a big fish in a leaky pond.

And just so it's clear I ain't backin' down, let me say it again.

"I guarantee for at least the next five years the Toronto Maple Leafs will finish ahead of the Montreal Canadiens in the standings. Do you hear me? Do you comprehend Hab fans, the next five years."

And the crazy thing is, I'm not sure the Leafs will make the playoffs this year.

Baby come on!

I like the Habs' off season signings. For them, the big question mark is in goal. Can Carey Price return to form? If I had to bet, I would say 'no'.

Freddy - Leafs will make the playoffs this year - Leafs have improved the right way, from the net out, the rest of the division has not improved - Burke will bring respectability to the Leafs beginning this year, at last it will be an enjoyment to watch hockey at 4pm on a Saturday!

Habs are better. You said it. Mike knows where it's at and heck he grew up outside Toronto.
Bring on tomorrow night and the season.
Good luck Leafs fans! It's going to be another tough year.

GO HABS GO!!
Price is gonna bounce back and have a good year, between him and Halak they can get the job done, and, Gionta, Gomes and Cammaleri are gonna do some dammage.

Fred, Cammalleri went to a real hockey team, NOT a cash cow!

both burke and wilson said that it will get worse before it gets better...when the worse does happen (and it will) let's hope that we don't have a collective reaction to throw the bums out...
