Good news! Leafs got their 6th or 7th or 8th or whatever best player back - now you and the rest of your pale-skinned mole-people can witness the POWER of this fully armed and operational hockey team!

Stupid Leaf fans....



As officers were scrambling to find a missing 11-year-old Brampton girl who was the subject of an Amber alert last month, operators at the Peel Regional Police communication centre were busy fielding wasteful 911 calls, including one from a resident who was upset that the emergency notification had interrupted the Leafs game on television.

The shocking revelation was contained in a new report about the misuse of the 911 system that was considered by the Peel Regional Police Service board on Friday.

The report reveals that there was a significant uptick in wasteful 911 calls in the hours after an Amber Alert was issued for Riya Rajkumar late on the night of Feb. 14. Rajkumar was eventually found dead and her father was charged with murder in her death, though he later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The report says that the total volume of 911 calls received between 11 p.m. on Feb. 14 when the Amber Alert was first issued and 3 a.m. on Feb. 15 when it was lifted was 208, which represents a 65 per cent increase on the usual call volume during that time period.

While some of those calls were genuine, the report says that 43 per cent of them were deemed as wasteful.

“While a number of people called in with information they felt might assist the investigation, many members of the public deliberately called 911 to voice their displeasure at receiving the Amber Alert at such a late hour,” the report says. “It should be noted that the calls complaining about the Amber Alert continued to be received by Peel Regional Police on both 911 and through the switchboard well into the day on Feb. 15.”

Police did express exasperation with the number of 911 calls complaining about the Amber Alert back in February but the report considered by the Peel Regional Police Service board paints a more detailed picture about those wasteful calls.

Here is a snapshot of some of the more disheartening 911 calls regarding the Amber Alert:

“No one can watch TV until this child is found. This will destroy our program, you can’t take away TV completely, it has to be secondary.”
“You have an Amber Alert that I can’t get off my TV.”
“How can I make a complaint about you guys abusing the national emergency system?”
“She is with her father. I don’t think this is a national emergency.”
“This is an invasion of my privacy.”
“We are trying to watch the Leafs game.”

You’re doing the exact same thing with this post.
Misuse, Exasperating, wasteful and disheartening are a common theme.

Leafs took Boston to 7 games in 2019 also.
Go figure, the one year Leafs aren’t in last place on January 3, and look what happens.

Interesting that Toronto now has the top3 highest paid players in the league and are way over salary cap
Expect to see more creative injuries and maybe even starting the season a man short
Too bad money spent can't guarantee results

Also not only do they suck as a team, failing to bring home the coveted Stanley Cup, they also have fared HORRIBLY when it comes to individual awards as well
Worse than I expected when I first started looking

Hart - 1944 & 1955 ... very poor results, Chicago is only team to have fared worse...
Byng - Moginly in 03, otherwise nothing post expansion
Vezina - last in 65, nothing post expansion, again Chicago is only team who has done worse
Calder - Matthews broke this drought, prev nothing post expansion
Art Ross - NEVER won by a Leaf
Norris - NEVER won by a Leaf
Con Smyth - Keon in 67 ... BIZARRE win... scoring only 3 goals and 5 assists in 12 games Keon was not even the most productive player on the Leafs
Lindsay - NEVER won by a Leaf
Selke - Gilmour back in 93
Jennings - NEVER won by a Leaf
Richard - NEVER won by a Leaf (the last time ANY Leaf was a goal scoring threat was back in the 30s)
Adams - Burns back in 93 (Burns won this trophy with 3 different teams)
Presidents - NEVER won by Leafs (I know nothing since post expansion, but even when they were winning cups they tended to be 2nd or 3rd in League)

For someone who seemingly hates the Leafs, you sure do post about them a ton. Is raging about Greta Thunberg on Facebook not enough to keep you busy?

I actually had to ask who? and Google that name

That's kinda bizarre how some random person is being discussed in some news sources (and even more bizarre where you would have ever heard about her in the first place since nothing to do with North American politics)
But taking advice from a child who is basically a school dropout is pretty funny without even getting into her rather extensive history of mental illness
