Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada

Monday morning and my head hurts. Helluva game, an All-Star game with hitting and passion. The Olympics were terrific, kudos to the folks of Utah and all Americans! 16 days of various and sundry events are really just filler for the hockey games, eh? Hockey ticket: $425, Official jersey: $150, beer at the game: $75, four years of well earned bragging rights..... priceless

I'm with Bluenose, the Leafs just don't have what it takes to win the Cup. As we saw yesterday championships are won from the goal outward, and the Leafs come up short. Cujo is not considered in the top five in the league and the defense is aging some. The Ballard years are history, the Leafs need to end the reign of mediocrity and re-build with young talent. And yes, thanks to our American friends for their kind words. Losing graciously is a sign of a true winner. Jeff

A few things in life are predictable, taxes, and the Leaf's NOT winning the Cup. Why should they go the extra mile, corporate Toronto will keep buying the season's tickets anyway. The Nordiques went to Denver and The Jets to Phoenix. We're losing teams to the almighty buck and the game has become so watered down it's not worth watching. Hockey today doesn't really resemble what it once was, I vote we go back to six teams and pay the players $50k/year max
