Unlike the vast majority (that is to say 95%+) of idiotic Leafs fans and media, I would like the time stamp of my prior post so noted. The disgrace of a decision by Burke to trade away 1st round picks that has become this debacle was entirely foreseeable.
If Burke had any class whatsoever, he would resign immediately. Where’s all his big talk about “shortening the success cycle” now?
What a completely predictable catastrophic long term disaster.

I must have missed the memo that said six games makes a season. Can you forward it to me?

I certainly don’t disagree that it would be early to rush to judgement, IF we had prior evidence that this team was verging on success (or playoff contention…as the case may be). If it was the Wings or Bruins then sure, I can see giving the benefit of the doubt, as indeed I’m sure their fans are doing to them right now, given that they have as well gotten off to slow starts.
But when a team is simply living up to (or rather down to) expectations (admittedly mine and not most other’s), I think I’m at least somewhat justified in an I told you so.
I friggin wish I wasn’t. Nothing would please me more than if we hadn’t make this terrible trade. Imagine how great our long term outlook would be if we had simply just played out this season, like the last, and been able to look forward to bringing in another franchise building piece of the puzzle.
