#17
Tonight “my guy” is honoured….and I don’t mean John. I mean the best, the most wonderful hockey player in the world….Wendel Clark. Tonight his jersey gets raised to the rafters. Leafs don’t retire jerseys per se. They honour them. And tonight is all about Wendel Clark and his #17. I’m going to post a blog not written by me but Every Leaf fan remembers this moment. Wendel Moment #1 – Clark vs. McSorley On November 22, Wendel Clark’s #17 will be raised to the rafters as the team honours its former captain and arguably the most popular player in franchise history. In the lead up to that night, Down Goes…

It’s official…
…JFJ has been fired! The new interm GM will be Cliff Fletcher. Bringing back old faces but when he left in 1997 the Leafs were at least rebuilt and playoff contenders. Must be a good sign. Imagine my surprise and delight when I come home for lunch and find out this. At the same time, I do feel bad for JFJ. All this speculation for months and not being allowed to do the things he wanted because a board of directors would veto it. Being told that Peddie shouldn’t have hired him…it was a mistake. Not very fair. Can’t Peddie read because everyone else and their dog knows Peddie should…

Dun Dun Duhhh
So now that the Leafs have taken a real nose-dive things might be on the move. The new developments over the past few are awfully suspicious. So after over half a year of Bowman denying he met with the Leafs management and that he had no interest in being part of the Leafs’ management he did an almost 180 last night. He had an interview admitting he met with them and was ready to go until 3 weeks before the start of the season when Peddie changed his mind. He suddenly decided to let the world know the truth and that he was willing and able to be a part…

Time to push the panic button
Ok, I promise this will be last post/rant on TML for a while (unless somebody gets fired or a blockbuster is made (lol)). But I just want to say it’s time to push the panic button. I read this from hockeybuzz.com and thought it summed what I wanted to say really well so why try to re-write it. 🙂 The Maple Leafs’ plight is really no mystery at all. This is a bad hockey club right now. It is a team with one member of the 23-man roster [Mats Sundin] playing anywhere close to an elite level. Every other skater, with the possible exception of Nik Antropov, is floundering. Both…

Oh Blue and White, WTF!?!
Ok, so the Leafs are really beginning to annoy me. Well maybe moreso the MSLE. However, whoever it is really needs to f’in stop. All I can say is that something needs to happen and it needs to be big. Injuries have been tearing them apart again and they canNOT win 2 games in a row. It’s so friggin frustrating. Fire JFJ. Fire Maurice if you have to. (Although I don’t think this is the problem.) Trade away some players. Do something to set a fire under somebody’s ass. The Leafs are more than a money-making machine to everyone else other than the MSLE. I still watch their games religiously…
