Any true fan like myself wants to throw their Jersey away when the team is this bad but don't because of monetary reasons. Anyone that tosses their jersey has respect from me.
Except the fans arent watching all those great leafs. They are long gone. Retired and many passed away.
They pay money to watch the current humans wearing the Leaf uniforms. They are throwing the current leaf jersey back at the current leafs.
Hiding behind the great leafs of yesteryear is another instance of not taking responsibility for their actions on the ice.
Fans should have an "inside out" jersey night.
Wear the jersey - don't throw it - but wear it inside out to demonstrate their concerns with the on-ice product.

This is true, and I normally don't agree with you. Maybe it is a bit classless. Well let's heckle the ***** out of them if deserved. Loud and proud.
So sick of the whiners around here passing judgement on fans who have every right to be disgusted by these losers.
The biggest injustice is being done by the classless and disrespectful hockey team wearing the iconic jerseys.
This deflection of responsibility has to stop. Its the equivalent of blaming the victim in an assault case.
Kessel..shut the EFF up man. Your team is the embarrassment.
On that note...fans are pretty dumb to pay that kind of money for a jersey and for hockey tickets. If you continue to pay top dollar for an inferior product you got nobody else to blame but yourself and also as Calgary Leaf points out...grown men should not wear sports jerseys in public. If you have your favorite players name on the back its double loser.

Where is your outrage at the players for their total disrespect of the fans ?
No one's asking them to win every game and the vast majority of fans understand the team will come out totally flat the odd game but this has been like the 5th or 6th game out of 19 the team hasn't even showed enough respect for the fans to put in a decent effort and that's unacceptable .
You can come on here with the rest of your small group and berate the fans for showing their displeasure but it'll only get worse until this group decides their serious about earning their paychecks or are replaced by those that will .
no I'm sure the league and team were praising the guy who did it.
that's why they have said future actions may result in fines and banishment from the rink.

if you don't like Phil's answers get those asking the questions to change the question. do you think they asked about the losses and his response was about the jersey?
This. What's classless is putting on that jersey and playing like you don't give a s*** about the organization you play for, that's disrespectful.
Or else what, youre gonna call your mom?
Grow up. You were straight up wrong, be an adult about it. NHL players arent owned by the teams. They arent owned by fans. Offseason time for players is the same as summer for teachers. They can, and do, engage in whatever activities they want and they dont answer to anybody unless they do something stupid and get caught. Period.I bet you're wrongAs they should.
Sadly though, I bet most kids these days may not want a Leafs jersey
Hopefully they find the right homes for these jerseys.
I'm a fan and I go to games once and a while... I'm not a fan those nights?
oh, I don't wear a suit, but I do sit with some who do just so you have all the facts in deciding if I am or not

He tried that already.
Why shouldn't you wear jerseys? It's been sporting tradition since... I don't even know how long, in every sport. Is it not manly enough?

You're right he has already tried that and got reemed for it. But maybe this time he said too much. I don't ever like hearing athletes badmouthing the fans (who in fact pay their salaries, thats all).
And wearing a sports jersey does seem somewhat juvenile, yes. What is that, a fashion statement?
Not piling on Kessel..dont get me wrong. He is one of the few players who actually has shown up on most nights. Cant say the same about the rest though.

childish maybe? Do you dress like George Clooney when you watch one of his movies?

And what if I do? Fanaticism has been around for ages. You identify yourself with the team you're cheering for, in colours, jersey, chants or logo. It seems people have too much pride to and think they're somehow less manly because they're wearing someone elses name on a sports jersey

I don't care what people think, I am almost 30 and I will wear a jersey anytime I want. I like them.

So if Stamkos scores a hat trick tonight, all the Bolts fans (with hats) could get banned from ACC?
