I know it's tongue-in-cheek, but to about 75% of Leaf's fans, it's probably right.

"Canada's greatest and only metropolis"

I'm trying to be sympathetic to the woes of Laff Nation, but it's hard. Wait a sec, no I'm not. F&*k 'em! ;D

Leafs fans are probably ticked that he forgot their beloved Gary Roberts, Jamie Macoun, and Rob Ramage who all became Leafs at various times after that 89 Cup...a la Gilmour and Nieuwendyk.

Even though it is a tongue-in-cheek article, I agree with Roggy...it echoes the sentiment of most of Leaf Nation.

I'm sure Flames fans are deeply disappointed. Calgary has enough real fans. They don't need leaf leftovers.

PS: I've read Ulmer's columns & I just don't get it. Why does the Sun bother printing anything he writes.

I read some of the article and didn't get it. Bitter that the Leafs were eliminated again...?
