whatever. I gave up on hockey after the labour stoppage and the Leafs continued unwillingness to field a competitve team or hire competent management and staff.
Raps run a much better franchise (from a fan point of view). |

this is a good sign for the leafs actually.
the song was first played in 1968, the year after the leafs won the last cup. now that the song is gone, there is nothing stopping the leafs from winning the cup. |

That's a bargain considering the branding/history behind the song and that HNIC is a rating's poster child for the CBC. I can't even fathom them coming up with a replacement that will appease both the old folks AND the younger generation. They'd probably be smart not to bother having a jingle whatsoever next season.
Apparently, CBC offered $1 million but that was denied and CTV came in with a higher offer - for use on TSN as well as CTV during their broadcast of hockey games in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. |

I think this whole situation sucks. I'm surprised there isn't as much public outcry as when Ron MacLean wasn't going to have his contract renewed.
Maybe it's one of those "Won't miss it until it's gone" situations, but I for one grew up with that theme as did countless kids from multiple generations. |

TSN is showing more games, including Leafa games AFAIK this season, so the song isn't gone, yet. |
