Comments on: Leafs minority owner: “The way this year ended was unacceptable.” http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/09/leafs-minority-owner-the-way-this-year-ended-was-unacceptable/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 23:46:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: govtminion http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/09/leafs-minority-owner-the-way-this-year-ended-was-unacceptable/comment-page-1/#comment-53922 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:53:52 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=173802#comment-53922 Well now you’re just being silly. You can’t honestly think the Jackets will make TWO playoff appearances by 2039, can you? One maybe, but TWO?

(Assuming ownership doesn’t start acting like they’re serious about having a hockey team, of course.)

2) Columbus had to sign over all future casino revenue to keep the Jackets until 2039. While I hope I’m wrong, based on past performance, that means between now and when the truck exhaust gets blown in Columbus face in 2039, the Jackets will manage two playoff appearances where they will be swept 4-0. I’d rather have the casino revenue, to be honest.

They’ve missed the playoffs every year since the lockout anyway, they very well could have torn the team down and rebuilt it during that time and nobody would’ve known the difference.

What are you talking about? I dont even like the leafs but that’s an ignorant statement. Tickets for the last game at the ACC this year started at $450 and they still sold out. They could never make the playoffs again and they would still sell out every night. Their problem is that they are too loyal.

Fans in Atlanta got moving truck exhaust blown in their faces.

Sad – I love it when the Leafs are good… I just forgot what that looks like.

In Columbus, all we ever get from the owners is the middle finger.

And we can enjoy the distinction of owning the triple crown of the NHL’s longest current playoff drought, longest current Finals drought (longest ever, I might add), and longest current Cup drought. How many teams have ever held all three at the same time?

Letting the team (and GM) actually BUILD a proper team vs. attempts at quick fixes with ‘big’ signings would be a start. But the fickle Toronto fan base wouldn’t (and won’t) stand for a true rebuild as it’d take too long. With hindsight though, maybe management should have actually got on board and actually have pursued a proper rebuild.

I can’t believe nobody poured a $64 beer on his head.
