I actually mourn the loss of Tucker, in reference to the trade with Tampa(Tucker, Richer and Wilkie for Poulin, Ulanov and Vukota). He was a great junior with Kelowna or Kamloops, i’m drunk right now and can’t remember, and his coach was Hitchcock. Iginla and Chris Murray were teammates of his. He won three Memorial Cups in four years and was MVP of the last one. He was captain the last two years as well. I loved him as a Hab, but he became an annoying pest with Toronto.

Great. Just what the Leafs would need - another scoring DF who can't play DF. The Queefs have no problem scoring goals, but their defense has sucked for years now. Kinda like the Rangers, except they win.

Here's to the drought continuing! 37 years and counting!

God I hate the Leafs!

People bring up Gonchar’s -22 but then look what happens. Kolzig plays a little better and his +/- is improving rapidly. Kolzig played bad at the start of the year, Gonchar has no support, and the team in front of him sucks. Perfect scenario for a bad +/-. And +/- is a stupid stat anyway.

Lindros isn’t the only player who said that they want to go to Toronto.If you have ever been on tsn.ca you would see that Gonchar said that he wants to come to Toronto. Dumbass.

Although I agree with your position on every player apparently expressing interest in playing in Toronto your comments on the leafs having no future is just off. . Do you live in a fucking cave or something. The leafs have some solid prospects at every position. I'll list a dozen but it doesn't seem to matter because hey its the leafs right?

They have some solid goaltending prospect in Telvqvist, and Sebatian Centomo.

They have good D prospects with Ian White, Brendon Bell, Coliaicovo, Jay Harrison, Doherty, Chartier, Kondratsiev, Hedin, D'amour. Not to mention McCabe, Kaberle, and Berg are still young guys.

Up front they seem to have solidity on the wings and at center with Wellwood, Stajan, Ponivkarosky, Antropov, Immonen, Steen, Jeremy Williams, and Nathan Barrett (not Perrott).

Now I know these are not prospects on your team so I guess I have to expect some negative feedback from you, but do your homework before you say they have no future or no system in place, and stop listening to other leaf haters, or reports from the so-called experts out there.

From what I read at various websites and heard on TV, the Capitals are trying to get the Devils to give up Zach Parise for Gonchar. Lou obviously said no to that and I think he’s offering David Hale, but things are so secretive in the Devils’ organization, no one knows anything. Lou always makes unexpected moves and I think the Gonchar deal is just a coverup for something else.

I never said I didn’t like Leaf rumors, I just said Leaf fans are fucking gullable. Its fine to have rumors but when some reporter says someone wants to come to Toronto then Leaf fans automatically think that is the truth. I may cheer for an American team but at least that team has some prospects for the future.

If you dont like leaf trade rumors dont read them, this is a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Sure some leaf fans are retarded, but you can't argue the loyalty of them. through thick and thin the Acc is jam packed, that being said might be the downfall of the leafs;.

Keep cheering for your team which is probably some American team , you trader
