There's a series on TSN right now called Why Not Canada?, and it's pretty sick. It's just putting everything into aspect on why Canada should get a team, and ranking everything that could happen.

It's not done yet, but for more footage, click here.

I was trying to catch some of this show, but missed the times. I heard it was pretty good. What was it like Sam?

I was reading a lot of comments from the different stories and it sounds like the Maple Leafs really suck, but make a ton of money. More than any other NHL franchise, which is kind of weird if you think about it. I think in my opinion the best option is to have a team in Hamilton, there are many franchises that have 2 teams in practically the same market and they do perfectly fine. I think having a team in Hamilton is the right choice since they have an owner that is willing to pay the costs associated with building a team.

That is the thing about the Maple Leafs. They have a wicked area to play hockey in, being in T-Dot there is so much exposure and a lot of population that really drives the team. The old saying was that "No matter how bad the Leafs are, you still will have a tough time getting tickets". It really is true that saying. They have been the <Censored>s the past few seasons but the attendance at the games is still remarkable.

Yeah, we have a loyal fanbase in my opinion. I don't think any true Leafs fan would want to see another team in Toronto. It'd be hard to accept.

I kind of really want to a Maple Leafs game now just to see what its like. I have a ton of family in Toronto so maybe I'll go there soon. I also like the Maple Leafs uniforms, they are the best looking ones in the league in my opinion.

It was really cool. It broke down what it would be like in each city, what they'd have to do, and what the troll Bettman thought about it.

I'll always love the Leafs but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to waste my team watching them when they're going to clearly miss the playoffs. I watch highlights though. I hope this season is the season for us to make some noise.

I feel bad about myself as a Leafs fan. I was unloyal for a couple of months in the 06-07 season because I became a Sens fan due to being tired of losing. Back to being the biggest Leafs fan ever =)

but at that time I still loved the Leafs I just didn't have them as my favourite
