Ok as we all know the media that covers the Leafs are all buffoons...
Today we will start with Damien Cox...He is a respected journalist but when it comes to the Leafs he is a buffoon..
here is his article today....
http://www.thestar.com/Sports/Columnist/article/269919
He says:
All in all, there remains uncertainty, some problematic injuries and the undeniable scent of imminent disaster in the air. Nine points in 10 games just isn't enough, certainly, to suggest a playoff berth is going to be available in April.
The buffoon makes it seem like the Leafs are out of a playoff spot and a disaster will happen..

Full Version: Toronto Media Are Buffoons
BUFFOON NUMBER 2 BILL LANKHOF

here is BUFFOON Number 2s column today
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toron...601461-sun.html
Here is a perfect example of how the media loves to put the Leafs down...
Maybe the league could start handing out a point for teams who practice well. It might be the only way the Maple Leafs can find a way into the playoffs.
This team has more gaps than a hockey player's smile. And one of the biggest has been the space between some of their ears
This is just irresponsible tabloid bullshit..I would ban this Buffoon from the ACC.

Serge... you make me smile. Everytime I think you've hit a new low in your abject stupidity, you impress me by coming up with something new to prove just how much an idiot you really are. You should celebrate by buying a new Leaf flag for your car and driving up and down Yonge street honking your horn because they earned a point against the second worst team in the NHL. Yes, the second worst. The leafs have that number one spot nailed down....
Good luck with your brain tumour. I will no longer respond to anything you post about hockey, because this forum is for people that understand the game. You obviously don't. Nice hand....

TSN was ripping a new one for Toronto yesterday too. They compared Edmonton and Toronto, 2 teams that won't make the playoffs, They said Edmonton has hope with a young team rebuilding with very good prospects. The leafs on the other time only have a prayer to hold onto. They have marginal youthful prospects and all those liabilities on the blue line have contracts for next year. Yup, you guys are going nowhere fast.
its ironic that you post your idiotic remarks in the buffoon thread..
if the shoe fits......
I will not accept irresponsible journalism anymore...I am in the process of writing letters to the editor of the major toronto dailys...
Someone has to step up and show people the stupidity that these writers and reporters spew

Ok, I'll play your game with you for a bit.
As a devoted Leafs fan who loves his team blindly regardless of their acheivements what whould like to see happen if by the trade deadline you have no chance of making the playoffs.
A.) to see the same team on the ice next year
or
B.) trade some players to improve the team for future years ( if any Leafs players still have value by then)

obviously b...if the team has no chance at the playoffs I would love to see them trade away assets to improve the team for next year...However no one is going to give us a young superstar for Sundin or Mccabe or whoever...Everyone also seems to forget that McCabe has a non-movement clause in his contract...Its not that easy...
The buffoons in the media dont seem to explain that to the public....

If, as you predict, Sudin does have an amazing season, he would be worth ALOT come the trade deadline... he's probably going to have a pull a Ray Bourque if he ever wants to win a cup.
Sundin wont go anywhere else on his own..unless he is forced away...The Buffoons might run him out of town though..

Hugely disappointing if true
Its obvious that me outing his fellow buffoons have hit a nerve with our favourite journalist gruven.
It is important to note that by no means I am implying that gruven is a buffoon...From my dealings with him he has seemed to be very knowledgeable hockey guy that knows his stuff...He has a lot of friends and connections in the hockey community and experience as well...However when he is on television or radio he cant resist the urge to follow in the steps of his buffoon colleagues...Doesnt necessarily mean he is a buffoon, just from time to time has buffoon like qualities in his analysis of the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise.
Once again I am NOT ATTACKING gruven...My comments are against the Buffoons in the thread...so far we have two..we will add more as we go...

Here we go again Leaf fans..This year there is a lot of optimism that has been generated among the Leafs Nation...Coming off a very disappointing 2006-2007
season where the Leafs JUST and i mean JUST missed the playoffs, there is a lot to be optimistic for this year. The Leafs led by their young GM John Ferguson JR
made some big off season moves to help this club. Acquring Vesa Toskala not only improved our goaltending situation, it will also give the franchise in a position to
have trading power with 3 solid goalies in the system in Toskala,Raycroft and hot prospect Justin Pogge.
The other major move the Leafs made is adding that elusive big scorer on the top line...It has been said for years Sundin hasnt had a true goal scorer on his wing and Jason Blake might be the guy. I personally believe that Blake is a better fit with the playmaking Kyle Wellwood and it remains to be seen how Coach Paul Maurice will have the lines set up.
The other wildcard is Mark Bel..Bell was a highly touted 1st round pick with Chicago and put up 25 goals a few years ago before the trade to San Jose...After having personal problems off the ice, if Bell gets his act together he will be a major player on this team...
Lets go Leaf Fans..Lets band together and lets do it this year...

I just wanted to point out this post....As I write this there are currently 20 teams in the league with less points than the Leafs...
Apparently the "experts" believe the Leafs are the worst team in the league...HMMM...interesting math..It must be the same math that was used in determining the leafs wouldnt make the playoffs..
Unfortunately the so called expert will not be responding because I am an idiot and he is a genius...Actually when all things are said and done, we will see who is the genious...Obviously we arent naming names here...
At least I back up my statements and dont turtle when things go bad....

Your team is on pace to have 82 points. Last year, that would have been 10 points less than the 8th place team in the eastern conference. I sincerely hope your team keeps this wonderful pace going that you can't help bragging about.

Posted from another forum(hockeybuzz.com)...It is not only me who thinks the media has a sour effect on the Leafs organization:
I think Leaf fans are both good hockey fans and highly knowledgable. The average Leaf fan looks at the young Edmonton team and thinks that might be a lot of fun. If the Leafs had great young players they would not lose a single fan even if they missed the playoffs. I believe it is the media who "presumes" to speak for the fan who insists they make these crazy trades and signings. And, it is the media that is the first to bail on them and criticize the trades and signings as soon as they start to go South in their play. My guess is nobody would dare trade another draft choice over the next few years.
