BE-LEAF-ABLE

I myself don't don't boo players... not even Bryan McCabe. I don't like the guy, but he's still on your team, and he's still another human being.

Tucker is right in that regard... and that's about it.

As for McCabe himself, the Leafs should have traded him years ago, but only waited til now to even bringit tot consideration. This player is a defencive liability, and has shown to be game in and game out. Bryan McCabe has either not taken the time to work on his defencive game enough, or it's that he really does just suck in his own end of the ice.

When it all comes down to it, he's a defenceman that can't play defence, and he ha and will continue to hurt this team again, and again, and again, and the amount of points he puts up will never make up for it.

All that has happened to start off the year is nothing new, and scoring a goal in Thrusday's game against the Florida Panthers doesn't mean as much to me as it does to the media, McCabe's fans, and the Leaf fans that just "go with the flow".

He had to go, and they missed the chance to do it after a productive season offencively in 2004, and once again after 2006, then they gave him a no-trade clause to boot.
