The reason I cover every team is, in part, the constant pain the Canucks have put me through for four decades. It was about a decade ago I first got the NHL Center Ice package so I had other teams I could watch whenever I wanted to. I had to branch out. The red on Riitch's pads is weird. Can he just swap with Forsberg in Ottawa? His are blue.

Not just in a depression sense. There was a good column in the NY Times about it - we're languishing. We may be able to function, but few of us are our best selves. It can be hard to stay motivated or be excited about the future in this neverending doom we find ourselves in. The Leafs playing like that doesn't help.

After the trade deadline and the moves we made, I almost wanted to be able to throw my jersey on the ice, and I love my team. I've cheered for them, I've yelled for and at them, and bleed for them. The fact that people question the fact that a person can be passionate about this, fills me with thoughts of ....how can you not?? I'm not built that way, and it is fun to see that we aren't alone in that. The 2 games this week, I expected Toronto to come out and just shellack my team. I expected 8-0 after the first period of the first game. I expected revenge in game 2. The fact that my team got those 4 points, that there is hope in a season where we expected our team to not only finish bottom 3, but not even finish the season, and that people are contemplating sweeping the sens and going to the playoffs....OMG!!!???

[@Katie-hb8iq]

One thing I think is a pretty major problem with the Leafs is the coach. I know he's done a good job getting this team to play some real defense this year, but there's so many asinine decisions that I think are contributing to losing all of these games, or just playing poorly. Like take for example having the defense go on the rush so much the last 7 or so games - why are our defense doing that? I've never seen so many 2-on-1's or breakaways against the Leafs during any other point this season. Obviously they are being told to do this... but it's really hurt our defense massively the last few weeks. And what about the line changes? Why are they different every fucking game for? Why can't we let our players build some chemistry and some winning habits with? Galchenyuk was actually playing well with Tavares - why did that stop? Why flip the defense pairs? I was in disbelief looking at the Rogers game center what some of the lines were the last few games.... some really bizarre combinations. You look at the top teams in the league, and they are NOT CHANGING THEIR FUCKING LINES. We are 10 games away from the playoffs - why don't we know our fucking lines yet??? And why are we playing Thornton so much? Why are we not giving him a rest? And why the hell are we not 30% on our powerplay? Is it really so hard to tell these people to shoot the puck as it approaches your stick? They waste so much time passing and passing, or they wait 3 seconds to corral the puck and let their defense and goalie get into position rather than just shooting it immediately. This is why we get so many blocked shots each game. Galchenyuk is the only player I see regularly rip a one-timer properly on the power play, and they never pass to him. Why can't we work on our zone entries to bring the puck in more cleanly and reduce turnovers?? This is killing our game massively. All of these are coaching problems. I haven't heard anything from anyone that Keefe might be the problem, but it's not nothing to me. And then you have guys like Hyman who appear fairly frustrated on the ice the last couple of games before he was injured. And Nylander missing the team meeting. And sometimes guys just not playing. And I have to wonder, is all right with the relationship between the coaching staff and the team? Is all right with the locker room? I really wish I was a fly on the wall.

"Would it be irresponsible to let my son cheer for the Leafs?" Steve, I was born in 1967 when the Leafs last won the cup. I've suffered through decades of Leaf misery, including the 1980s, when they were horrible. I enjoyed the good Leafs team of the early 90's and the good Sundin teams and especially, this version with the young guns. Along the way, I've lived through all of the Leafs disappointments and as my boys grew up, 2 out of 3 have joined me as die hard Leaf fans. We watch most every game and then we watch LFR. It's a great bonding experience with them, win or lose, whether we're blowing a 4-1 lead in the 3rd period of game 7, or losing game 7 or losing game 7 or losing in the 1st round of the playoffs or losing in the first round of the playoffs or losing to a Zamboni driver, it's a lot of fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything. So, I think it's not irresponsible to let your son cheer for the Leafs, so long as it's his choice and you clearly tell him about the painful path of misery that a Leaf fan must endure.

I have broken Steve Dangle with my expert GM skills. Applaud me and my moves at the trade deadline!

[@stevesteele8064]

I hate how Dangle I am. Knowing there is someone else in this pain.. It's not fair

[@Greendotz]

That "deserve to win-o-meter" is very impressive. Could somebody please show me a pie chart of "teams that won that game"

[@WarHorseMumbles]

lmao

This team WON'T MAKE IT PAST THE 1ST ROUND IF WE DO THIS! I'm so livid that I can't even yell.

@@alexe606....you couldn't be further from the truth. "Oh but Foligno and Hutton are coming soon" 2 players cannot change a team.

OK I've said this before but honestly have the leafs broken Steve? Because I'm worry for his child. Growing up with a broken by leafs dad. Too many people suffer from that

[@mikmack1449]

I am right there with ya Steve. It is the phenomenon that is the Leafs where they seem to be easy to coach against. Take away time and space and they can't find a way through the challenge. It is incredible that they are the asterisk in every off chance that other teams cash in on. Could be supernatural or could be that we hang out hopes on a team that is paying attention to the sadness that is the current world we live in. Who knows but I am going to love it when they surprise us all and play to their potential despite the other teams effort.

[@Retired_Gentleman]

I've been a Leafs fan since 1967...I know how you feel right now all too well, Steve.

[@Rob-uc8zr]

You’re awesome for shouting out The Hockey Guy so epically

[@MikeFriesenLampLightGames]

DUDE! It's FINE. Remember, we cheer for the Leafs. not a team who actually wins the big things. It doesn't matter how good their team is, they will always lose when it counts lol. But seriously... will they ever win?

[@fatmahamdi3467]

Hmm good question

[@daddyfrank2010]

No joke Steve. I have a passion for the leafs. And I want them to win I REALLY DO (unfortunately or Fortunately) the world moves on no matter what I say or who I cheer for. I think the though of no more LFR should have never been spoken. You have a gift and a platform with many viewers that like it or not kinda wish they were you. (Give iggy a Treat (he prob would have stopped a couple of those shots) give Leo a snuggle (and prob a clean diaper) and know that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT

[@rodchallis8031]

One day, a friend of mine woke up to find out his hero, Frank Mahovlich, had been traded and it broke his heart. He's still watching Leaf games. I saw how Ballard treated my childhood hero, Dave Keon. We saw a competitive team torn apart when they traded Lanny MacDonald, out of spite. And we've been along for the ride for all the shitty things that have happened along the way. We're near the end here. This is a blip. It may not seem so, but it's a blip. This core will win a cup. Don't get all 10 ply on us bud.
