Hey Ladyfan, Every since I have interacted with you, you are nothing but class and knowledge. The Leafs board and some of their mods are simply the worst on HF boards. It is an embarrassment to wish harm on a player. I too don't think what Marchand did last night was even worthy of a penalty. It's unfortunate their guy got hurt, but that was on him, not Marchand. The guy has simply turned himself into a great player, and what he does off the ice is fantastic too. Those fans that wish harm on a player are not true hockey fans. Feel some comfort knowing that you are reading from a terrible fanbase and if that was allowed, terrible moderation. On that note, Bruins swept the Leafs this season. Congrats on that and for this season so far as for people counting out the Bruins this year.
I tried to send you a message, but it was not allowed!
All boards have some fools, but I was just surprised to see a mod wishing a career ending injury on Brad. Years ago, I had a post deleted (by a Bruin mod/ rightfully so). I had wished evil things on Matt Cooke.
I love Brad. We have watched him grow since he first came to the Bs. In 2010 I thought "small, high energy fourth liner". By the cup run I was impressed. Brad is an excellent captain and owns the room.
In the 23 years with ST, we have met more Toronto fans than any other visiting fans. They are my favorites. They are friendly and know hockey. My daughter and I went to a game in Toronto and had a blast. We were teased about being Bruin fans but all in fun.
The Leaf boards has some "fans" that are out there. I know every board has them.
I had low expectations for my Bs at the start but they are in it. I will cheer them on to whatever end.
Leafs have a good team.
