Hello Nick.,

  Excuse me, as I switched the topic, which was about the
sale of the Habs, to the TML , as we are I guess in the
same Province, although they lost me as a fan.

 -=> Quoting Nick Andre to Peter Coggon <=-

 NA> Wow, thats quite the story.

  Yeah, you could checkout Leaside Memorial Gardens where
Frank's dad sharpened skates, and I met him and had great
debates over the years when I was in Toronto, ending in
1980.

The magic park is called Trance Manes Park, up the street
where the library is, and that is the old Town of Leaside
town hall.

The Mahlovich family lived nearby, as well the Armstrong family
so thats how all this came together...by accident.  The kids
loved it.

 NA> I've been in Toronto now for over a year and a half and I don't know;
 NA> I guess the whole Leafs "scheme" if you will, has grown
on me. They are
 NA> far from a good or competant hockey team; the enjoyment is more in just
 NA> being there to watch a game live or be in a crowded sports bar with
 NA> other Leafs fans. Plus the fact; my close friends are Leafs fans I
 NA> think for the same reasons. Its not the technical aspect of the game,
 NA> its more over the dramatics of watching them win (or lose) at the very
 NA> last minutes of a game. 
 NA> *Nick*
 
 The Leafs, as stated, if they could get rid of the non-hockey useless
owners, they have that power to comeback.   We always called them 
the comeback kings.... 3rd period was dangerous to play the leafs.

 The move from ML Gardens was also a mistake, but then thats my opinion
and at times when in Toronto, it is funny to see out of town fans
staring at the Carlton Cashbox and who am I to break their belief
that the leafs still play there.
 
 I used to listen to the radio jocks there, but not any longer
as midway there...they always jump ship, and get pretty nasty
and I think thats why Mr. Sudin went to the Cannucks...had
enough of what they were saying about him which isn't true.

 Well gotta get rolling here .... thank goodness it isn't to
some frozen rink ....

Peter
