What we should do as maple leaf fans
Honestly I think as hockey fans and in particularly Toronto Maple leaf fans we are not doing enough.
What we should do in my mind is to organize a protest against leafs management and let them hear us clear and loud as we demand changes to current mismanagement.
I’ve been a soccer fan for a long, long time and when a soccer club goes in to a slump the fans demand changes immediately , after all hockey is the number one sport in Toronto and we as maple leaf fans should not allow Richard Peddie and his crew to destroy this hockey club, Maybe he’s getting instructions from Gary Bettman to ruin this Canadian hockey club? After all Gary Bettman did not allow Nashville to be sold to a Canadian ownership and move in to Hamilton. Gary Bettman is an anti Canadian and he has showed that over and over.
Lets not forget that this hockey club or any other sport clubs are owned by the fans, if it was not for the fans the clubs would not exist, therefor as leafs fans we have every right to organizing a protest and demand changes they should and must be held responsible.
Its been 13 years since a Canadian Team has won a Stanley cup. And 40 years since the Leafs have won a Stanley cup. With current management and the destruction they’ve done so far, it will be at least another 15 years before we can get Stanley cup parade in Toronto.

The problem is that it would be very hard to protest the Leafs. It would be like boycotting McDonald's hamburgers. You can try, but eventually you're going to cave.
As Seinfeld says, it's hard to be "Master Of Your Domain".
You want a real protest… stop paying for anything with the TML on it. Don't buy the jerseys or t-shirts or hats or coffee cups or baby pyjamas or toy sticks or ANYTHING… including their useless Leafs TV. Especially at this time of year when MLSE totally expects that many of these items will be wrapped and under your trees.
The big blue and white machine will never acknowledge any kind of protest, petition or anything like that… nor should they. It's their business. As fans we support THEIR business. If you want to hurt them, hurt them where they just might notice it… in the bottom freakin' line.
Obviously the ACC will never be empty and CBC's HNIC will continue to have high viewer ratings. But do not underestimate the power of holding back your dollars from the teachers and leave the overpriced merchandise on the shelves. If this stuff stops flying off the shelves, maybe, just maybe, someone might pay attention.
well said. I totally agree with you.
I totally agree with Budzie's comments, we can never really protest against the Leafs because there is always going to be those die hards that spend there loads of money to see a game. I've said it since the lockout and have kept to my word, i will never again pay $300-$400 (even near $100and for nose bleeds) to see a game. Let the suits be the only ones there.
The only way that us Leaf fans can do anything is like Budzie said is stop buying that overpriced TML merchandise. But even still there is going to be those bozo's who will spend countless dollars on jerseys etc.
I'm not an anti-leafs fan, i've been one for my whole life and will continue to support them through thick and thin, but these corporate bozo's and teachers need to leave this team alone, you can stay and keep making money with the team name and logo, but let hockey ppl make hockey decisions!
