Don't understand the hate on the Leafs, I must be missing something here. As a kid growing up in the Buff in the 60's they were basically the only team/hockey we could watch. So, they were my first team. Once we got the Sabres in 70 that changed of course but I still have soft spot for them... they inspired our Saturday "hockey games" with all of our makeshift equipment. One kids dad gave us some foam pads from some furniture that was delivered so those were made into goalie pads lol. We had a lot of fun but wouldn't have known hockey without the Leafs.
