Its been 43 years. But is that really an excuse we can use? After reading what leafs fans have to say on various sites, I've come to the conclusion that most are insane.
I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen articles on Ilya Kovalchuk. Burke has clearly stated that he doesn't like long term deals, and has actually been more precise and said he has no interest in Kovalchuk. And yet, leafs fans keep talking about it.
Well, I'll give them a small break on that because hey, maybe if you talk about it enough it will actually happen?
But we all know thats not the only impossible thing leafs fans have been talking about. You take a look at leafspace and the front page is full of Bobby Ryan blogs. Would I love to have him on the leafs? Yeah of course. But Bob Murray has clearly stated he's not trading Ryan, and yet these delusional leafs fans keep talking about it!
I'll admit, I also sometimes get caught up in rumors. But generally after a gm fully denies it, I don't keep talking about it. And thats what separates us sane leafs fans from the delusional ones.
But lets just think about this. Why are so many leafs fans delusional?
- Is it the 43 year drought?
- Is it the fact that we haven't seen playoff hockey in 6 years?
- is it simply a huge fan base, so there are more nut jobs?
Which do you think is the cause? The habs have the second largest fan base in the NHL and they're all delusional, so could it be a population thing? Is Toronto too close to Quebec?
Let me know what you think, are we delusional?
