... Said the Sens fan!

Your statement pretty much summarizes your entire stance on both Ottawa and Toronto and the misinformed garbage you post routinely about both franchises.

Yesterday a family member (Whitby) got a signed Austin Matthews sweater for her birthday. Sad.

When I was living in the appartment building, I saw an authentic Karlsson jersey in the garage garbage.

I realized that was no place for it, so I took it to my school, and displayed it proudly in a urinal.

You and dopps are alone in that... the rest of us have a pretty firm understanding.

interesting fact.

last year leafs rookies got 304 points

sens rookies got 11

is there really a debate on a brighter future better youth?

very interesting fact.

Scoreboard!


My opinion is that this year's crop of Leaf's rookies may still outperform the Sens' group, even though I see no place for them on the roster.

Ah yes, shall we revisit some of your "predictions" prior to last season about Matthews, Marner, Nylander, the team as a whole, what actually happened and how wrong you were about nearly everything?

Your problem is that you can't accept the Leafs' direction, what that means to you as a Sens fan and can't discern between rational thought and your pathetic little hate boner for anything Toronto.

Sorry, it is not that important. It is actually very entertaining. But, most days you can find an old post of mine that has been brought forward and modified from what I actually said or, even better, put into language that reverses the role of Leafs and Sens from how I originally made the posting.

I find it entirely flattering but it does complicate more recent discussions ( e.g.., when I say that I thought the Leafs should take Matthews)

I have no animosity towards the Leafs. I do enjoy seeing the air being lot out of the tires of the pompous media that pump the Leafs as a means of trying to improve on readers.

Just a reality that Canadian media is entered out of Toronto. We have spent years listening to the self serving commentary.

Old story. But numbers are probably the same.

The Montreal Canadiens are the most popular team in Canada and the Toronto Maple Leafs are the most despised, according to a new nationwide *Insights West poll.

In the online survey, 40 per cent of those polled consider themselves big or casual fans of the Montreal Canadiens — by far the highest proportion in the country.

Trailing the Habs in popularity are the Toronto Maple Leafs (26 per cent), the Ottawa Senators (24 per cent), the Calgary Flames (23 per cent), the Vancouver Canucks (also 23 per cent), the Winnipeg Jets (21 per cent) and the Edmonton Oilers (17 per cent).

"The Canadiens and the Canucks are extremely popular in their home provinces, partly because there is no intra-provincial rivalry like the ones we see in Alberta and Ontario," says Mario Canseco, Vice President, Public Affairs, at Insights West.

A total of 71 per cent of the respondents in Quebec are fans of the Canadiens, while 70 per cent of those polled in B.C. supported the Canucks.


"But the Habs have a fan base that expands outside of Quebec, with two-in-five Atlantic Canadians and three-in-ten Ontarians and British Columbians expressing allegiance to the team," Canseco explained.

The Leafs may be Canada's second most-popular team but they are also the most hated team in the country.

A whopping 19 per cent of those polled, including 24 per cent in B.C. and 24 per cent among Canadians aged 18 to 34, named the Leafs as the team they most love to hate. The Habs were a distant second on the hate list at 12 per cent.

"The hatred in in intra-provincial rivalries is definitely more pronounced in Alberta than in Ontario," said Canseco. "We see that 18 per cent of Albertans hate the Oilers and 11 per cent of Albertans dislike the Flames, but in Ontario, only 6 per cent claim to hate the Senators, while 21 per cent say they despise the Maple Leafs."

hey window-licker, are you too stupid to realize that those survey results don't make any sense? actually don't answer that.

and i couldn't care at all if 100% of non-leafs fans despise the leafs.

Not even close. Sportsnet can pump their numbers all they want but unless you include French media into the calculations it does not mean anything. Sportsnet would have had to play really carefully with the question in order to get a 1% number over the Canadiens. Oh, let me guess, they only asked the question in English.
