A true Leaf fan would never, EVER, say that. That's like admitting that those cups that their grandfathers watched them win don't mean jack shit in today's world.
How many cups has *your* team won is their unofficial motto. Or is it the official motto, I don't really follow them.
I agree. I was a Leaf fan because no one in Van in the 50's and 60's was a Hab fan. That was the choice. I said a liked a couple of their players, not that I was a hard core fan. Geeze. You Leaf fans are touchy, but no wonder.

When Flames fans spew about their cup win, I remind them that Tampa Bay also won a cup.
I usually just ask them how they drive a car that is all rear-view mirror. They typically respond with something along the lines of "At least Calgary has a Cup".
So I just remind them that the Vancouver Millionaire's Cup is just as relevant as the Flames.
"Two hundred and thirty-eight days have passed since Jonathan Bernier last won an NHL game."
"Bernier has the third-lowest save percentage in the league so far.
His .888 mark tops only Eddie Lack..."
Benning is a genius.
"... and Jonas Hiller."
In the summer of 2014 most Leaf fans were calling this idiot a TOP FIVE goaltender!
And by idiot, I mean Zoolander level idiot...
Buyout next summer?
So long Zoolander, thanks for the laffs...

Leaves have been trying to trade Bernier but so far no takers. Word is out that they may waive him to the Marlies so he can play his way out of this shit.

Does he have to clear waivers to be officially sent down?
Corrado, now Bernier -- Corrado still hasn't seen a 1 second of game action this year...
Maybe JB was right about him.

They say no due to it being a conditioning stint.

u do not have to clear waivers if you're sent down for conditioning.
And remind me why the Corrado situation was against the rules?

You begin to believe that the only things of relevance are in hog town, the rest of the country is just unimportant, uneducated, un-enlightened, second rate, second class and just plain does not count, nor matter, nor carry any weight or influence. It is the hog town virus.
This applies to all walks of life, not just sports. In reality you know next to nothing about the rest of the country even though you think you do. You continue to believe that because of your large population you are entitled to everything and that for the most part everyone who isn't you wants to be. You laugh at everyone and everything that is different from you. You actually think you would be better off if Canada was just you, that you support the rest of us, that when given a chance your teams are Canada's teams. You are outraged, shocked, mystified when the rest of the country says anybody but you. You don't get it. You feel betrayed, attacked, isolated and unappreciated, yet you blame anybody but you.
Once you leave, start to breath fresher air, clear your head, exercise free will, you see reality. There are only two real cures for hog town disease. One is breaking away the other is death. Absent either of those two you are doomed to a tortured life of make believe and delusion. You never grasp the disdain the rest of the country has for you. You spend your existence rewriting history and blaming others for your failures. You believe in your own self entitled sense of superiority, your priveledge in the world. And then along comes Rob Ford......
