Iginla absolutely deserves to go in before Alfie. Hurts me to say that as a Sens fan, but it's beyond obvious as a hockey fan.

Unless you mean Alfie on his 3rd try (is that where we're at now) deserves to go in before Iginla on his first try, in which case you may have an argument, but even then I probably disagree.

I think they are pretty close in terms of achievements. I agree that I'd give the nod to Iginla in a one-on-one but Alfie getting snubbed by the HHoF tells you all you need to know about how much of a joke the institution is.

Wouldn't call not making it the first couple of times around a snub. I certainly woulda had him in over Carbo, but I'd have 5-6 guys in who are waiting over him. As far as the career achievements we'll have to agree to disagree.

Jarome Iginla:

34th in points (all-time)
16th in goals (all-time)
Art Ross X1
Lester B Pearson X1
Rocket Richard X2
King CLancy X1
Mark Messier X1
1st Team NHL All-Star X3
2nd Team NHL All-Star X1

Daniel Alfredsson:

54th in points (all-time)
63rd in goals (all time)
Calder X1
King Clancy X1
Mark Messier X1
2nd Team NHL All-Star X1

Toronto is so lucky every other team near them in the standings are sucking as much as they are or they'd already be a mere spot above us in the standings.

Spezza is single highhandedly trying to save the Leafs from missing the playoffs.

What a ridiculous timeline.

Spezza in a Leafs jersey just looks so so wrong. I hope they waive him, but I doubt we would even have a chance to pick him up now that there are teams below us in the standings.

Leafs twitter hate Ceci. So many funny tweets, great content. Kinda feel bad for him because he's still not put in a position to succeed (bottom pair) and is in a more toxic situation.

I would love it for them to re-sign him but that's not going to happen.

I'm just glad my hatred was justified and not a self induced delusion.

Meanwhile Zaitsev is pretty meh. Definitely not the same level of tire fire.

Too bad they didn't choose to waive him before November 1st otherwise it wouldn't have mattered where we are currently in the standings.

Holy shit are Leaf fans turning on everyone on their team.

They want Babcock fired.
Some of them want Dubas and Shanahan fired.

I mean it was not so long ago that Leaf fans were praising these guys.

With two more games played too...



Aw, well you had to go and kill that buzz pretty quick.
Thankfully I just heard on the radio that the Leafs don't have a first round pick this year (I think that's what they had to give up to get rid of Marleau's contract). If that's true, we can go back to rooting against them!

Dubas has been an unmitigated disaster. He was given the key to a very solid rebuild and pissed it all away.

This mess is on him in my book.
