Reality is that public & fans will never be the wiser to that fact, and keep buying into the "they'll do it next year" & what fan has never said this one "leaf's all the way" or "Go Leafs Go". A theory I heard is, that they don't have to win the Stanley Cup ever again, so long as they remain the in the top grossing teams on the NHL.

What about all the good they do in the community? All of that trickles down you know. Lower leagues emulate what they see, and even so far as in the NOJHL where the North Bay Skyhawks bring healthy snacks to the schools for kids to teach them about healthy eating. They're not forced to, they CHOOSE to.

People do this by CHOICE. They CHOOSE to spend all that cash themselves. Just like we mod cars to crazy levels, they follow their teams. Heck, most of the major seats at the ACC are purchased by companies and not individuals.

A part of me will always be dyed "blue". That's not going to change. What needs to stop is the bitching by folks who really don't care and who really don't seem to be the ones spending the massive amounts of money.

f***. Enough is enough. The Leafs lost, the Habs lost, the Ottawa Subsidies are doomed and the only guys with half a chance are the Flames and the Canucks.
