Add that to the fact that he replaced Curtis Joseph... my favourite player of all time, and you come out with a goaltender very difficult to cheer for.
I wouldn't deny he's done a great job for the Leafs, and I'd be loath to replace him.... but I'll never like seeing himin a Leafs jersey.

The Irony is amazing ..
Cujo is the player that has shown no loyalty his entire Career, including taking less money from the Wings to leave Toronto showing no CLASS at all in fact, firing parting shots at the team for their lack of success, which often in the playoffs was firmly on his own shoulders.
He left Edmonton a small Market team because he could get MORE money from Toronto .. and he requested a trade out of St. Louis to Edmonton in the first place over a contract dispute.
Letting in those 5 goals in the Olympics and them holding a grudge against Quinn and the Leafs was one ** THE MOST CLASSLESS ACTS *** he has on his resume .and will always be remembered for that..
His demotion to the minors couldn't have been any sweeter justice to the guy who felt Detroit was a more serious contender then Toronto, given as reason for leaving the City and Fans that treated him like a Saviour, and then Detroit in order to fulfill that prophecy of his replaced him and considered him the weakest link ..
Belfour replacing Cujo despite that being opposite of Toronto intentions was the best thing that happened to Toronto in the last little while .. I can't think of one thing that Eddie has done as a Leaf that has reflected badly on the team or himself ..
and personally Cujo couldn't carry Eddie jock strap IMO ...
