It is such a pity to see the Hawks disbanded like that. They were such a treat to watch last year...

This year, they are just another middle-of-the-pack team...

Moog-Type-S

...and what's with the Hawks schedule?!?! You guys have played about a million games already??!?!?

man it sucks to be a Toronto sports fan right now. Leafs have lost 7 straight and the Raptors have lost 6 straight. and the way it's looking, they'll probably go on a combined 0-20 streak...FML

Yumcha

Yep. They also have the most back-to-back games right now. So, if you want to see why they are struggling and looking exhausted at times, that is it.

dom

Its fun watching others suffer. Its usually just Leaf fans.

dom

The only hope this city has is the Blue Jays right now. And they're still a year or 2 away from maybe being able to compete. And don't forget the mess that MLSE has also made of the FC.

Lots to look forward to sports wise in this town.

Moog-Type-S

Nuts...I have the opposite problem....it seems like the Kings are playing 1 game a week.

dom

What's left? Canadian cities maybe, but that's the Counts last option after every US option has been exhausted.

And Winnipeg and Quebec city might be able to survive with the $ at par, but once it approaches 70 cents again, seeya. The only real option is Toronto.

the MLSE makes me hate teachers

Moog-Type-S

And why can't Toronto have 2 teams....NY has two "LA" has essentially two....even Florida has two teams....but a crazy hockey town like Toronto....NOPE! The Logic is

dom

Makes no sense whatsoever. But MLSE will do their best to never allow it.

Hey Leaf fans, remember that no matter how bad the team gets, no matter how long they've been bad for, no matter who they traded for, no matter how expensive ticket prices are, booing the team is disrespectful according to Brian Burke. And questioning if the head coach should be fired? How dare you!

When has it not sucked to be a Toronto sports fan? '93?

Moog-Type-S

Gretzky and the Kings beating the Leafs in Game 7 of the Conference Finals in Toronto.....good times indeed!

dom

That was the last time there was hope.

Dougie was on The Fan the other morning and he was once again asked about that high stick, its never going away... Torontonians will hate Kerry Fraser to his grave.

Yumcha

I remember the days when the Leaves had Peter Ing in net!

dom

I've blocked the 80's from memory. I'm now in the process of doing the same to the 00's

BTW - Thanks for nothing as far as Verstiff is concerned. Next time you need to dump salary call someone else.

How's Stalberg doing?

yep, the good ole days

when he should've been ejected....Asterix! but no, '93 was good b/c of the World Series!

Moog-Type-S

Ejected

dom

He's being nice. He should have been executed. If that was anyone other than the Great one, he may not be alive today.

Second hat trick of the year last night and 5 points for the night. No penalties last two games.

herbalist

Leafs are calling up Kadri

Moog-Type-S

You leafs fans take the cake in the department. I thought us Kings fans were wacky with all the hate we have for the whole McSorley illegal curved stick incident.

dom

Good to see Burke not bowing to fan pressure

dom

Damn straight.

Moog-Type-S

The craziness wears off after your team builds through the draft and starts winning.....and looks like a contender

dom

Then I may as well book myself into the looney bin now.

Moog-Type-S

I was pretty much in the looney bin when dumpster diving Dave Taylor was GM....there was no future back then.

wstevens

Ahh the magic of a contract year.

jupitersolo

Oh come on, he's earn his money and a chance for a better one.

No need to go yet, but can you at least bring back the flying av!

And this is why everyone hates Sean Avery.

:shakehead @ Avery...what a disgrace...

Yumcha

Anyhow...good to see the Hawks finally win a game.

jupitersolo

Avery is a dick, but that was a clean hit. Fucking skate and play the game. Dickhead move to cheapshot, once he "wasn't" going to fight.

Moog-Type-S

Clean hit. Smid dropped the gloves before Avery connected with the "cheap shot".

I'd call it questionable at best for a "cheap shot right".

fsttyms1

Go Redwings



Thats all, carry on.

Yumcha

Well, maybe the brawl with the Rangers will galvanize the Oilers...just in time for my Hawks.

herbalist

Definitely not an honorable move by Avery. Smid asked him to go and he waited until he let his guard down to sucker him. If you're going to fight, be a man and go toe-to-toe.

Moog-Type-S

Avery is far from honorable....but to call it a cheap shot...that's a stretch...Smid dropped his gloves before the hit....he knew it was coming.

It's not like Avery pulled a Dave "Tiger" Williams on Smid.
