Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today.
The Leafs have fallen - but this time of year they should be blooming as in the past years. Changes have to be made -so long Belfour, Domi, Allison, Berg, Khavanov. Hello White, Harrison, Aubin. There's no excuse for the Hockey capital of the WORLD & their team not even making the playoffs. The laughing stock of the league - Vancouver a close 2nd.
With the salary cap - Fergie didn't use his head as he used his heart paying older players too much with little coin to go around for the balance of the team. Quinn only had the personnel he was given - totally not his fault, but partial to blame going too long with EDDIE & his other favourites.
We need a GM who knows how to manipulate & get the best for the least. Where are you Scotty Bowman - 1 last chance. Go for it.

It will be strange not having good ol' Aki Berg around to blame. When blame needed to be assigned, he always came in handy. I agree we're a laughing stock, but I disagree with our #1 ranking. We're definitely #2, firmly behind the Canucks who were supposedly a threat to win it all. We're majorly disappointed, but their fans must be devastated.
