I think McCabe will make some other team very happy, and I believe that if we kept him it wouldn't be the end of the world either. <BR/><BR/>The knives have come out but they come out for anyone in Toronto that makes themselves distinct from the pack. With all the changes we've made and the idea Sundin isn't coming back McCabe has become symbolic of the overpaid, underperforming Toronto team we've come to know and groan over. People are tired of the ref baiting, stupid penalties, undisciplined play, and the blaming of injuries and circumstance vs. taking responsibility for your actions.<BR/><BR/>The fact that any of us can be remotely comfortable with the moves the Leafs have made in the past months speaks to the idea that we'd rather see honest, hard working guys out there than talented assholes. McCabe is the biggest asshole left in the bunch.<BR/><BR/><BR/>@ chemmy<BR/><BR/>What a coincidence... :)Scott Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464543994225178799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561180301300167445.post-80445614631061426222008-08-11T07:40:00.000-07:002008-08-11T07:40:00.000-07:00Hey wait a minute, I live in a Connecticut hellhol...Hey wait a minute, I live in a Connecticut hellhole surrounded by Darcy Tucker jerseys. :(Chemmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876764848455502787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561180301300167445.post-27142345254568996462008-08-11T06:39:00.000-07:002008-08-11T06:39:00.000-07:00it really blows my mind how quick this guy's stock...it really blows my mind how quick this guy's stock has fallen in the eyes of leafs fans. in 2006/2007, with andrew "the human sieve" tending goal for the leafs, mccabe finished a +3 and put up 15 goals and 42 assists for 57 points in 82 games. in 06/07 when he went down with an injury, the leafs lost 8 in a row and essentially blew their playoff hopes.<BR/><BR/>yes, he was awful last year, and his contract is pretty brutal, but it amazes me how everyone wants to dump this guy for a pack of juicy fruit...Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.com
