While they will need a new captain, that wasn't what I was getting at. For the last few years, whenever things were going bad, they either blamed Phaneuf, Kessel, or whoever was in goal (or a combination of the three). The Leafs have gotten rid of the usual sources of blame, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the brunt of the fans anger when they tank in the future.Quote:

But maybe it'll cost too much now. In my view, I'd love to see Stamkos skate for the leafs, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just wishful thinking.Quote:

Now that MLSE is icing a clearly inferior product then what the Season Ticket holders bought into, I guess refunds will be mailed out shortly.......:)
Still remember what I think was Phanuefs first game here.
He actually defended a teamate and fought someone!!!!
Went downhill from there... Hasn't actually hit the net since.
Miss the net...around the boards and out of the zone...how many times
did that happen???
Bu By.....
I agree, may not be the right time for Stamkos but I would love to see it!!
