Mats can kiss my arse. New "C" in '08-'09 suits me.
Could've actually picked up some solid prospects for Mats from different sources. Hi nixxed that with his no-trade clause--BeWare THe No TRade-CLause--and now will no doubt leave as an unrestricted free agent...might be some type of compensation if picked up (I never have figured out those things) but will be nothing compared to what was available at trade-time. Loyalty to oneself as opposed to the team clearly taking precedence for Mats. See ya.
Leafs, as in the past decade or longer, have a crap system and look like a longshot to be a contender over the next 5 years. A deal could have helped with that. Maybe the Jays can do something to demonstrate to the Leafs crappy brass just what a winning environment can do for a city and for a team. Longshot, maybe, with only 2 solid SP's, a mediocre system themselves, a closer who's DL-bound and a questionable offense (as last year showed).
Tired of being a dreamer and my fan-dom has hurt because of it.
Time to make some money.
"My" teams will have to forgive my fades.
I'm a fan of who's winning.
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengence marched
cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
