“We the under-appreciated members of Leaf Nation, bound by the frustration that unites us all, do hereby demand ….
- We the members of Leaf Nation demand the right to petition Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Ltd., for a redress of grievances

- That every Leafs player attend Gary Roberts’ off-season camp (we’re looking at you Phil)

- Of platinum seat holders: everybody in the private boxes and bars, if you’re not back in your seat within three minutes, kids from the upper levels get to take your seats. You can have theirs
- Of platinum seat holders: no admission unless you’re wearing Leafs swag (and not one of those free home opener scarves)
- That after five losses, the sixth game is free
- Every player has to have at least three solid hits on every night or be benched
