Ron, what exactly would you like me to answer again?
You contradict yourself all over the place in this conversation. I am now truly surprised that you do not support the Leafs based on things I already know about you (ie.. huge Domi fan), and also things you are revealing about yourself.
You talk about loyalty. How loyal was Bobby Hull and the other NHL players who followed him? The NHL was in a big transitional period, and change is never easy but things leveled out.
If you really want to talk about loyalty, let's mention Darryl Sittler shall we? The best Maple Leaf throughout the 70s, who was never fully liked by Ballard yet he remained with the Leafs even though he had offers of A LOT more money from the WHA.
Bottom line here is that you have nothing positive to say about the game yet you say you are a fan. Make up your mind. Roll with the punches like the rest of us. The NHL has been working hard to make the game better for everyone. They seem to be on the right track IMHO.
