God I hope these leafs fans don't boo
I highly doubt we will. Give me a reason why we would boo?
Leaf fan coming in peace, Leaf fans won't boo. Even when we play Montreal and they honour one of their greats nobody boos. Now when the game starts thats a whole new story but when honouring a former player we never boo. You guys may hate our guts but we're not disrespectful to a team's past. The chances of us actually clapping and joining in the standing ovation are more likely than anyone booing. Bure was a hell of a player and was a great Canuck player what is there to boo about?
I've seen Leaf fans at Sens games. They leave the class at home. They go to boo the Sens, cheering the Leafs is a mere afterthought. They won't be retiring Alfie's jersey at a Sens vs Leafs game, not a chance.
But this is in Vancouver, nowhere near Ontario, and I expect most of the fans will enjoy Bure's moment and then will cheer the Leafs during the game. Booing will be a mere afterthought.
I hope we all enjoy it right up until the Canucks win.

You can't compare Alfie and Bure. Alfredsson is absolutely hated here, I won't defend Alfie or the Sens, booing Alfie in his own building was hilarious I love my fellow Leaf fans for booing the crap out of him, I can't stand him. You guys may hate our guts but the hatred that we have for the Sens is at a level that will never be matched with the Canucks..just won't happen. Bure was a hell of a player and did great things for you guys. Anyway good luck Saturday should be a great game.
Don't like 4pm starts for home games. Late start for Eastern teams is part of our home ice advantage. Now our guys have to change their pre game schedules.
Also don't get why they'd make this game Bure's night. When the Leaves visit its always a fun atmosphere. Seems like a strange choice to me, but there's probably behind the scene reasons I don't know about. Woulda thought either Dallas, Calgary or I guess Florida would have been more relevant choices.
On the ice, I wonder if its time to send Archibald down and give someone else a look. Jensen might be a possibility after he's played a couple of games, but I'd like to see Gillis and Torts get a look at a few guys. Welsh on the other hand, imo has earned a spot in the top 12 until either we get completely healthy, or his play begins to slip.
I've never understood the level of vitriol reserved for Alfredsson, you guys hate him more than the Habs! The HABS!!! Alfie's a great hockey player, a good sport, a gentleman and an outstanding citizen. I find it hard to fathom how he'd leapfrog the years of history between original 6 teams to become the biggest target of Leaf fans' ire. Oh, Toronto...
if you dont understand then maybe you shouldn't comment on it

Not impressed with the 4pm start time. I hope we crush them
