Indecision Leaves Us On The Hook

No doubt I have my opinions of Mr. Sundin. But when I speak of bandwagoner, its not that he shouldn't go to another team for his shot at the cup. It's that he stated he wants to stay with the Leafs before, but then entertained offers for other teams. Granted that's his perogative, and personally, I would do the same. But its the indecision of it all. I respect him and his game and what he's given to the Leafs, but him waiting it out to see what to do is what I find more bandwagonish then what Bourque did. Bourque had dealt with Harry Sinden the GM and inked a deal for the Avalanche for his shot when the Bruins were fading. He requested the trade, Sundin is waiting to see what happens. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions, just thought it was interesting to deal with it in this manner.

Leafs got Tampa on Tuesday and this is a great opportunity for the Leafs to see something they normally would not see very often... a winning streak. TB has been struggling even with the likes of Lecavalier, St.Louis and Stamkos. Currently last in the Southeast division, they've got a -7 goal differential and averaging just over 1.5 goals a game. I'm just waiting for the Stamkos break out... it'll happen soon... just not against the Leafs.

Luke Schenn is also not getting shipped back to Kelowna and will stay with the Leafs... go figure that in seasons past, we have no defense... now we're running 9 and have an abundance.

Btw... Sean Avery a possible Leaf... crazee
