I am because I live in Buffalo (only 90 minutes south of Toronto) and have watched them since I was a kid.
I admire their rich tradition, how fans hang in no matter how bad it gets--and I think this year they have a much better team. Maurice is a good addition and I love that Wellwood, and well what can you say about Mats?
I am a die hard Sabs fan, but barring the Sabs winning the Cup I would be very happy to see Toronto win.
I also find the malice directed at the Leafs kind of stupid. They are above all else an original six team.

why, it's simple ... The Leafs are god's team ...
Just like the Yankee's (minus the world series wins)
Just like the Cowboys (minus the super bowl wins)
it is the team most love to hate! And People love the Leafs. So for you Senaturds fans, get over it. Our day will come, mind you I will probably be in a wheel chair ... but that is OK!
Go Leafs Go!

I'm a Leafs fan!!!!! I'm so happy with the improvement the Leafs showed this year. Sundin is great and Raycroft is solid. I hope a parade is being planned for June because we'll be bringing the Cup home!!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Maple Leafs fan because Doug Gilmour appeared to me in a vision and told me it was my destiny

TO QUOTE PAUL MAURICE (Leaf Coach)....
"....well, deep down we're all leafs fans"
this was said in response to fans cheering for the Leafs at Away Games!

Yes most definitely.
All I ask for is sanity, no mindless the Cup is coming home
(though it is possible), and haters, are usually people who project
their hate of Big Bay Street onto the Leafs. Just remember this
past draft.

I definitely am. I made the transition back in 1990. As a former Ding-a-ling (Detroit Red Wings) fan, my entire family are Leafs fans. So, it's a family tradition for us. We have one sister who is a die hard Ding-a-ling fan right now. She's a lost cause. Too bad for her.
