If I've learned one thing over the past little while running this blog is that Leafs fans like four things: Lists of any sort, watching their rivals flail about, smashing up Kerry Fraser's mailbox (No occifer, I was not flying around the neighbourhood while hanging out of the back of a beat up 80s pickup. The bat? I was just playing some baseball in the park...at 3am...plastered...), and wondering what might have been.

Mile High Hockey did something similar in that they compiled a list of Avalanche players. The big difference being that it looks at the wonderful recent history and has a positive spin (and apparently no end in sight due to some sorry law school excuse). Those SOBs have two Stanley Cups in my lifetime so sorry if our list looks at the dark side of our history. After all, it's been 41 years without a single victory of note or player worth mentioning. I guess this idea will prove that all of the Leafs' greats all were blessed with a ticket out of town (or not even into town) before the collective shittiness of the city, its denizens, Lake Ontario, Liberal/NDP attitudes, Orange Day Parades, and Bob McCown would stain their legacy.

So what are we going to do? Make a list of The All-Time Leafs That Should Have Been.
