RaymondT Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Excitement builds up in the off-season. A little early season success. Doubt creeps in. Good players start to play like average players. Team falls flat on its ass. Playoffs drift out of reach. Laffs fans have grown to expect this whereas this is all new and still a shock. Stock up on the paper bags...

250Integra Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We're going through a transitional phase whereas the Leafs just plain suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 So you feel like a Leafs fan because we're 4 points from being top 10 in the league and 4 points from drafting top 5... You haven't been alive long enough to be a Canucks fan long enough to make statements like that sorry. Nobody else's fault if you got excited in the off season for something every single hockey analyst said was not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melt Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think the direction Linden and Benning are going is the correct way and are managing this team so in a few years Vancouver will be a very hard team to play. For some insite on feeling like a Leaf fan read Shift Work by Tie Domi. Just started it and he touches on many areas that as fans we never hear about.

So we are actually pretty lucky. They havent been competitive in 11 years. Maybe more. I was only a kid when they actually made the playoffs during an 82 game season. We've missed the playoffs less times than they made the playoffs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The Leafs actually had a decent team in 1993-94. We just had a better one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wURNYt1Gw_w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock up on the paper bags... Maybe you're just a Leafs fan after all, you've given up. Why on earth would any one even try to feel like a Leafs fan? Vancouver is in a calculated transition, it's been called a lot of different things but there is a plan successful or not. What you are feeling are growing pains.

The Lock Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Since when has CDC not been as bad as the Leafs? The only difference is CDC has been the Leaf fans if the Leafs were actually winning games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We made the playoffs last year and made the finals 5 years ago. The Leafs haven't made the finals in 49 years. The Leafs have made the playoffs once since the lockout and were knocked out in the first round. We have made the playoffs in seven years since the lockout and got one win away from winning the Cup. It's not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 We're just trading places with Winnipeg. They can lose in the first or second round every year and we can miss the playoffs by 5 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
