Was at that game right in front of us, not Hossas' fault just a follow through but there was no doubt it was serious, sickening.
What is your worst moment as a Leafs fan?

Worst trade of all someone said, a battleship for 2 dingys (Lanny for Hickey and Paiment).Butler and Tigger for Vaive and Derlago wasn't bad though.

Imlach really ripped apart a very close Leafs team that was just missing a few pieces. Once Mcdonald was dealt, he lost Sittler. Team was never the same after that.

Yup, then the awfulness of Rich Costello and Ken Strong being a great return and Daryl in the cooperalls.

Here's one that is underrated.
Leafs never had a better 2nd pairing than Berg and Lumme. Had we, we would have made it to the finals under Quinn.

To be really honest, right now is the most depressing time I have ever had being a Leafs fan.... I have been a huge fan since a child with my horrible Wendel Clark haircut (child abuse) and my school pictures with my leafs jersey on in kindergarten. Crying when the leafs lost to the Kings so much my dad had to go out and by me another Gilmour jersey so I could fall asleep. Hating Gretzky and Melrose with a Passion after that series. But even those experiences and ones like the Roenick goal goal to knock us out or losing Carolina (really? We should've won the cup that year) here was hope for next year. Even the past 10 years there was hope (albeit very misguided hope) that we were getting on the right track and possibly putting some pieces in place to be a contender. But this season has been brutal, I've never had less desire to watch the games than I do this season. I have no hope for the future with this core. This core is rotten and this team needs to eventually be completely gutted and rebuilt from scratch. The fans need to have something to look forward to, something to pin there hopes on, right or wrong, and that needs to obtained through a proper rebuild. I would be completely fine sucking for 4 or 5 years if it means drafting near the top and getting top prospects. Ones that could be built around. I would enthusiastically watch the games just to watch the team and young guys develop. But this year even with Rielly (who I think will be great) there is just no passion by these players or for these players.
Horrible time to be a Leafs fan, definitely the worst experience I have ever had cheering for the blue and white.

Who said anything about becoming a fan of another team? I will die cheering for this team even if they never make the playoffs again and trade away every first round pick they ever get. How do you just all of a sudden change allegiances. Anyone who could do that or think about doing that is definitely not a real fan. I've been a Detroit Lions fan for 15 years, did I stop rocking my Harrington jersey when they went 0 - 16? No way. I will always be a Leaf fan, nothing will ever change that.
You should've read the post before responding like that. All I was doing was venting.
The worst moment for me was last night during the Marlie game when a Leaf fan threw a jersey on the ice. First time I truly felt embarrassed to be a fan.

Yeah that was pretty embarrassing to say the least. What a way to encourage the prospects and Nylander to work hard, and stay with the organization. So one day you can make the Leafs and this will happen to you on the regular.

Do you mean trades? Or management groups? Obvious that management group was awful, maybe the worst in team history. Although I think guys like Gerry McNamara and Floyd Smith were way worse as GMs than Stellick.
Courtnall was a solid player, but I don't think that trade was the worst in Leafs recent history.
I firmly believe Andrew Raycroft for Tukka Rask will go down as the worst player-for-player trade in Leafs history.
If Rask continues on his current career path he will be a potential Hall-of-Famer.
The Courtnall for Kordic trade was far worse than the Raycroft for Rask. Courtnall went on to be one of their best players and Kordic was dead before playing a full season with the Leafs. Rask is a good goalie and may win the odd Vezina, but I'd be surprised if he makes the Hall of fame.

1. Game 7 @ Bruins.
2. Roenick. I felt in my soul that the Leafs would come back to win that game. Then Sundin scored 2 to tie it.
3. Being at the ACC in 1999 when Buffalo eliminated us.
4. Gretzky's goal.
5. Trading Clark.

Apologizing for Leaf garbage since 1979
Normally I'd say the six shot game against the Devils. That one hurt.
Close behind is 1993.
Then 1999, then 2002.
But all of that has been trumped by this current situation. This entire franchise and it's media and fans have become a complete gong show.
It's disgusting.

To be honest my worst moment was half and half when Burke was fired prematurely and finally when Nonis put his stamp on this team. Say what you will about Burke you new what you were getting with him. He fast tracked our rebuild yes, but you new he made good trades for the orginazation and wasnt going to give out bad contracts even when people here wanted him to. I held my breath when Nonis first was hired because he didnt make many changes to Burkes lineup and we got into the playoffs. But when he used the buyouts and then gave the farm for Clarkson and Bolland i new it didnt make sense and that he didnt no what he was doing,he then lets Komarov walk for nothing???? I thought he would be our first signing. So I guess in a nutshell the Nonis hiring was the worst leaf moment for me and this is going back 2 yrs. Hes not a GM hes like Horacheck hes a filler as long as hes not givin to much authority.

Easy sailor. It wasn't the biggest sporting collapse ever. There aren't hundreds of millions watching the collapse ie. Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United, 1999 Champion's League Final.
