Happy Festivus - Leafs Edition

by PPP on Dec 23, 2009 10:44 AM EST

It is that time of year again

Frank Costanza: "And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year!"
Frank Costanza: "The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!"
George Costanza: "Oh, God."

- Festivus, Wikipedia

This isn't a scientific fact but I think that the holiday of Festivus is most welcomed among sports fans. After all, every year only one team has nothing to complain about while, in the NHL at least, 29 other teams have plenty of grievances to air. So that's what we are going to do today. If there has been anything bothering you about the Maple Leafs over the past calendar year I want you to get it off of your chest.

Use a FanPost to describe how specific players or personnel have disappointed you or a FanShot if you want to use a quotation, picture, video, or link to make your point. Make sure to tag whatever you post with player names and "Festivus".

Good idea. Air any hockey-related grievances.

I am disappointed that the story of the Senators having to reduce prices to get suckers into the Nowherebank to watch them doesn’t get as much attention in the MSM as the wackiness of a potential ownership group trying to get 5 Coyotes games in Saskatoon. Maybe it’s not all buckets of gold as they imagine when moving a NHL into a smaller market.

I'm still pissed
