Leaf Rumours

Doesn't work. There is far too much negativity in every respect from the in game moron announcers to the casual fans. I've ignored it for almost a decade but enough is enough.

It's no longer fun.
 
I'm not going to let idiots ruin something I have followed passionately for 25 years. Mediocrity or not Im still a die hard and always will be

You're paying too much attention to it Jays. Just seeing all the Prospect discussions you're into, there's way too many idiots on the forums/internet in general that will go against your player assessment(no mattter how good)...Step back a bit, enjoy the games and come here when you want to talk as it's still the best place.
 
Nobody cares for successful Leafs coze there wont be anything to talk about, right now is golden age for media as they have lots to talk about. Cant say that it does any good for team confidence alone with players.

I'm exceedingly close to no longer following this team anymore. All the joy has been completely sucked up from the experience in large part due to those morons.

I feel ya man, I'm somewhat in the same boat. Change has to come soon or I spend my time and money elsewhere than on this club.
 
Weren't we going to start to be the change last season with the #99problemsbutkesselaint1 movement?

Why not start that back up since most of the people on this site are intelligent hockey people?

Yeah...I could just see myself spending less time, it's like a crack habit really. You might kick the stuff, but you'll always be an addict.

Intelligent analysis gets lost in the monsoon of stupidity.

just wait until you make the playoffs
even a first round exit... it will bring the joy back pretty quickly
 
There's also the option of just manning the f*ck up, and not letting some pleebs in the Toronto media dictate to you whether you enjoy a sport or not. That's insane.

Amen.
Get your big boy pants on ya clowns.
 
I'll never totally stop following this team or start cheering for another team; I'm just not capable of it. But like Jays and Volc, I am getting close to a breaking point. It hasn't been fun following this team for a long time, both because of the team on the ice and the constant avalanche of trolling, mockery and cheering for failure from our local and national media and most of the "casual fans" in this market.

The lockout has really put things in focus for me too. After going almost five months without Leaf hockey when we'd normally have it and finding other things to do, now that they're back I find that I really didn't miss it that much. If the league and players announced tomorrow that for whatever reason, the lockout was back on and the rest of the season was cancelled, I don't know that I'd really be upset at all.

Anyways, for now, I think Artnes's advice is good. I just went through and deleted most of the media from my twitter feed---including James Mirtle, who's completed his transformation from most interesting sports writer in this market to full-blown twitter troll. Whenever possible, I'm also going to avoid local broadcasts and instead watch our opponents' broadcast. I'm also back to being done with ever listening to any of the sports radio stations in Toronto.

So, I'm sure that will help. But ****, this team really needs to stop being a complete embarrassment on the ice very soon as well.
 
Just stop listening to sports radio and stop reading the newspapers.

It's really not that hard. I've cut that shit out completely.
 
and anyways, the leafs win a couple of games this week with Reims looking good in net and you guys will all stop crying.
 
its nto all that surprising really.

Take any losing team in any sport, in any major city and the media will only write negative things, and those negative things will be aimed either at the star player, coach or management....usually in that order. It doesnt have to make sense...

The article about why Tyler Bozak sucks, and how Mark Fraser et all arent NHL caiber D...doesn gain momentum
 
It happens here when they are winning too. "Quinn sucks, McCabe Sucks, Kaberle sucks, Sundin is a bad leader, the Leafs can't play defence, etc."
