Did the beating the Penguins put on the Leafs make you Toronto Fans Cry?

Question

Wow, and I thought "Canada was hockey"! That team was beaten badly in every aspect of the game, and even was used as punching bags on numerous occasions!

Leafs can't skate, can't shoot, can't play defense and certainly couldn't fight.

Answer 1

cooldude>>>>IF YOU GO BY THAT HOW MANY TIME THE PENS WON THE CUP, WELL IF I RECALL THE PENS JOINED THE NHL IN 1967-68 SEASON. AND THE LEAFS WON THE CUP IN 1966-67 SEASON SO YOU CANT COUNT THE LEAFS PREVIEWS CUPS SO THE PENS HAVE 2 AND THE LEAFS HAVE 0.


GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 2

Part of it may have to do with the fact that the Leafs haven't tanked season after season to gain high lottery picks in order to build a winning team like the Penguins have, while the Leafs may suck they still try to win games even when they're in a position to maybe have the first pick, the Penguins don't do that. Also when the Leafs are close to making the playoffs they don't start tanking games in order to avoid an opponent. The Leafs also don't have the front running fair weather fan base that the Penguins do and the Leafs have never nearly gone bankrupt or had to have the owner lie to the fans and the league in order to trick them in to keeping the team in the city. These things tend to piss Leaf fans off. It also amazes Leaf fans how the Penguins can have the leagues biggest crying, diving, donkey punching, jump a guy off the face off pussy as the Captain of the team. Seriously no one respects the Penguins organization or their "fans". The Penguins organization has never earned a thing, they've always been rewarded by the league for years of sucking. That could be why Leaf fans and fans of every other team are "jealous".

Answer 3

And you can't possibly know that hockey goes that way sometimes. I remember not all that long ago when the Penguins were a practice team for Toronto. So now, the skate's on the other foot.
It happens Mr. Hockey Brilliance. When the Leafs won a game 10-2 a few weeks ago, I didn't see you on here knashing your gums about that one.
So don't be bringing in worthless comments about "Canada was hockey" until you get all your facts straight.
Who won the World Championships in Junior Men's? In women's? In the olympics? And in many other divisions over the previous 8-10 years and many times before that? Not to mention that 50% of the NHL's players are still canucks.
Go flap your gums somewhere else.

Answer 4

I was at the game between the Pens and Leafs, and there were a bunch of jerks who came down from Toronto. I think a lot of them expected to see the landslide the other way around.

However with that said, there also were a lot of classy Leafs fans who came to see Sid and basically just enjoy the game. I thank all the fans who came down and showed some class by not starting fights once the game got out of hand.

Answer 5

While I hate the Leafs, always have and always will, the fact that they are a Canadian team has nothing to do with the ***-kicking they took on Saturday night. They just had a bad game. Every team does. Back in the Gretzky days, the Oilers once lost to a much weaker Hartfort Whalers team 9-1.

Answer 6

Canada is about hockey and where do you think Crosby comes from and where Lemieux came from and how many Canadians play for the Leafs, certainly not their captain.
Also look at the Olympics men's and women's
Junior Championship
Go Canada Go
Go Pens Go

Answer 7

I was upset that my team lost but every team loses. Sometimes they get blown out. Did you happen to notice how many Leaf fans were at that game. They all drove about 5 hours or more from Ontario, paid for a hotel, bought food and beer,paid for gas and watched their team lose. As another person answered the Leaf fans were respectful and did not start fights in the stands even though the game was getting out of hand. I was at the game in Pittsburgh when my Leafs lost back in Dec 2006. I also at the game in Dec 2005 and the Leafs one that time. I am an intelligent hockey fan unlike yourself and can realize that one team wins, one team loses.
I wonder how many of you true Penguins fans will make the 5 hour drive north to Toronto to see the Penguins play here. Let me answer that for you. None of you. You just don't get it. The beer ad slogan up here says "I am Canadian". We live and breathe hockey up here. To borrow a slogan from one of my t shirts " Hockey is life. The rest is just details."
Even though I only cheer for one team I respect that if you are a hockey fan you are good people.
In answer to your first question I did not cry as I am a hockey fan and there is no crying in hockey.
The closest I came was Gretzky's last game and Yzermans # being retired.
If you don't think Canada is hockey why don't you have the INS kick all of the Canadian hockey players off your team and send them back to Canadian cities to play.
I agree the Leafs were beaten on the score board but they never failed to hit.
Your comment about being used as punching bags is totally false.
Paul Maurice has one of the best fighters in the league in Wade Belak but he did not send him out to goon some poor player on Pittsburgh even though the game was out of reach. Maurice is a classy coach and did not want to sink to that level.
The remaining Leaf players that can mix it up were also kept off the ice.
I witnessed 3 bear hug type dances near the end of the game in which no players clearly won but did not see any fights
If you are using one game as an example to say a team can't skate, shoot, play defense, fight you could hand pick any team in the league on an off night and say that.
To sum it up I would say you need to watch more hockey and even though I didn't want to stoop to your level as I do want the Penguins to stay in Pittsburgh I will finish with a true story from the last Penguins game I was at to watch my Leafs play at in Dec 2006.
It was in the 3rd period and a Penguins fan near me yelled out "Go Home Leafs". A Leafs fan quickly responded "At least we have a home". I thought it was kind of funny and even the Penguins fan that yelled out the first comment laughed.
I hope your team does get to stay in Pittsburgh but maybe you and your fellow Penguin fans should learn how the game works and if you beat up on a team celebrate but don't try and rub salt on the wound. As I said before one teams wins, one team loses. The next time we play it will be different.

Answer 8

Canada is Hockey....Hockey is loved here and played here by the majority of people.....over half of the players in the NHL are canadian and by the way your best player is a Canadian....That being said I loved watching the leafs get hammered in all aspects of that game, it was great....Although any team can get a bad beat any night....THAT'S HOCKEY!!!!!!

Answer 9

First of all Canada IS Hockey.... as for making the Leafs fans cry, who cares? they are used to it by now, hell most of them don't go to or watch a game without a box of kleenex on hand.. but it sure did make us Habs fans laugh.

Answer 10

No, but I did cry when I saw how many penalties Crosby had gotten away with and powerplays favouring him when he received a lovetap. He's the NHL's new poster child (literally...he cries like one too) to get more money to stabilize the league and compete against the other pro sports, so Bettman took a page out of the NBA's book to let him get away with calls. Oh, yes, I cried; only as a Canadian hockey fan at how Bettman's ruining our game and that cry-baby Crosby's such an embarrassment to our country.

Answer 11

After 40 years of losing a single night of getting our butts kicked doesn't warrant a single tear. Toronto isn't Canada, just a place we keep the old retired losers, sorta like the US Fort Lauderdale.
