Changed my mind about the Leafs. The complacent majority owners make the late Bill Wirtz look like a saint. No longer have any interest in the Maple Leafs. Larry DiGangi

I am a Leafs fan in Australia. Isolated in my internet-centric fandom, it is reassuring to learn that there are others around the world who share my frustrated love of Toronto's NHL team. Leafs Abomination sets out to describe in no uncertain terms just how the team with the most money and the biggest fan base has fallen in a hole 43 years deep. The authors begin to do so in a quite methodical and informative manner, and the 'The Leafs Do It Again' segments at the end of every chapter are great at making the reader squirm in horror (Tom Kurvers trade, anyone?). The drive tapers off a little towards the end of the book, particularly as the authors chose to release the book complete with a chapter calling for hope in Brian Burke without waiting long enough to detail the major moves of the 2009 off-season; but still, if you're a long-suffering Leafs fan, it makes a painfully satisfying read.
