MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ya, there's never been an owner in Toronto who worried more about the bottom line than the success of the team. lol That said, I did lol at Serge's post, was funny. And should be true. Its one thing to be bad, its totally different when the owner is just f'in it up. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 In the salary cap era. There hasn’t been a Toronto owner not spending to the cap. That was my point. Eugene Melnyk is a cheap ass. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 How do the Senators still have fans? I think most are in a holding pattern until new ownership comes in. Declining ticket sales kind of show that people are tired of how the team is run. And the Redblacks / Fury are a breath of fresh air in the city. Link to post Share on other sites

Eugene Melnyk is a cheap ass. Well, I think even you would have to agree, that the Leafs and Senators are two completely different enterprises in the business sense. Melnyk might have issues, but Im sure if he owned the Leafs, he too would be spending to the max. Its easy to do when you have that much money coming in. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Zuccarello stays put (I don't want to buy another jersey) Way off topic, but I find it weird that people have an aversion to wearing jerseys of players who no longer play for their team. (And it's not just you, I see this all the time!) I think about a jersey as a snapshot in time. I don't have a single current Penguin jersey, and I haven't since 2013 when Tyler Kennedy left. (Maybe mostly because I don't want to spend $300+ on a jersey anymore.) Maybe it's different if you're a player fan vs a team fan, but I'm 99.9% sure in this case, you're a Rangers fan first and foremost. The logo on the front is the same, and the name on the back represents someone who liked when he was a member of the team. I still alternate between my Jagr, Staal, Kennedy jerseys proudly when I go to games (or just during the playoffs when I'm at home...alone). They tell a story, but still clearly convey my fandom for the logo on the front. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Untilted 158 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have 3 jerseys. Zuccarello, Brian Boyle and Messier. They where/are my favorite Ranger at the time they where playing. I just just like to have one current team member that is my #1. That's usually the Jersey I wear to an ordinary game. I wore #11 to Ratelle's banner ceremony last night. Ceremony was great Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 My 'high roller' pool has its trade deadline tonight. Its an annual tradition to have our trade deadline meeting (we all get together tonight at a bar) same night as the NHL's. We do the same in baseball. I gotta say, it makes it really fun and quite the day today. Made me think how great it could be if the AHL/FCHL could have a deadline say 24hours after the NHL deadline.
