Under review

Everyone and thing involved with this organization should be under review starting directly after game 82 in Montreal.

The Leafs are top heavy, yet gravely thin where they should be strong and healthy. I don't see the head coach or his traditional style of play going anywhere. So those on the roster either not willing to adapt, or who just can't get the 'defense first' strategy, could be gone. I think Phil Kessel would be included in that mix. One way or the other. Carlyle has needs to win. Brian Burke must fulfill those needs this off season.

On fans staying away to demonstrate displeasure...

The fans who would boycott the ACC to make a statement aren't going to the games anyway. If walk-up sales were key to the Leafs bottom line, we'd no doubt see numbers decrease. Who would, on a whim, drop dollars on this product? The thing is, most of those seats are sold well in advance. They're Birthday presents, Christmas gifts, corporate perks, etc. As we know, Leafs tickets are considered "special" if not rare, and not easily obtained by the average fan. And hey, those people who simply go for show... will again show up. Some just want to be there. Others have to be. So whether fans are in the seats during this brutal period really doesn't matter. Nor should the fact that the building is generally full be held against team supporters. If the Leafs performance isn't a deterrent, there's nothing fans without a ticket can do to keep those who have them at home. Plus, loving those "let's go blue jays" chants.

Want to make a difference without forcing yourself to divorce the movement emotionally? Don't support the organization financially. Write about your displeasure. Call, speak, shout, stand up and demonstrate! While boos rain down inside the ACC organize a protest outside of it. You might not be able to get in, but you can get involved. At this new low point in team history, it's high time you did.
