The Leafs missing the playoffs will affect a lot of people according to CBC...

Leafs in the playoffs is good for everybody. Why doesn't the league understand this and start fixing games for us.

EXACTLY...Instead they create bullshit rules, salary caps and restrictions on our freedom to achieve greatness...

Bettman wants teams like Florida,Washington,Tampa Bay,Nashville, Phoenix to compete with us...He is a little weasel.

lol serge, you and the leafs are like a spoiled rich kid who just had to step out into the real world where nothing is handed out on a silver platter, and instead now you have to rely on actual skill and good management to acheive anything.

I agree to a certain extent....OR we are like the poor child actor who works hard and everybody profits off of them except us...

The NHL gets rich, the advertisers get rich, the Teachers get rich, the players get rich...Where does that leave fans like me...

Careful with the child actor comparison, Serge. People can say it's a valid comparison because while both used to be considered decent in what they did, that was years ago and now both are considered irrelevant.

nh

the leafs haven't acheived anything under the old sysem. I think they have a better chance of winning a cup in the next 40 years under the new system.
