Leafs to fans; "Thanks for your money. Sorry we sucked. See ya in September!"

Larry Tannenbaum, Chairman of the Board of the Corporate Maple Leafs, took out full-page ads in the Toronto dailies today to apologize for  the embarrassment of the past season.

It was a “thanks for your money, sorry we sucked” bit of excuse making, with a vague promise of doing better next year.

“Passion, hard work, accountability will always be the hallmarks of our organization.”

Oh for fucks sakes Larry, cut that shit out!

Everybody knows that Leaf season tickets have always been more than hockey tickets in Toronto. In the past few years the cool thing to do among the coolest of the movers and shakers is to leave those seats empty, if not for the full game, at least from the middle of the second period.

So when Larry says "we do not take our fans for granted" he's probably right. People will line up to buy those tickets and leave the seats empty just to flaunt their nouveau riche cred.

Larry doesn't actually have to give a shit.

“We are 100% committed to ensuring we ice a team that competes with the NHL’s best.”

Who the hell is “we” Larry? And when are they gonna start?
