Maple Leafs 3, Canadiens 4

Published November 28, 2007 @ 08:49 in Toronto Maple Leafs

LeafsWhen I came into the bedroom after the shootout loss last night, my wife asked me who won. I told her we lost again and she asked why I still watch. She didn't see the point in watching a team that had no hope. It reminded me of a day in grade 11 math when Mr. Rocca's math class united against me for wearing a Maple Leafs ball cap to bed. I suffer because it's my cross to bear.

The game itself last night wasn't bad. O Captain, My Captain nearly saved the day by scoring with 17.6 seconds left in the third period. Then, for the 17th time in 24 opportunities, we lost in the shootout.

My wife wasn't the only one asking good questions last night. Here's what my PC asked me.

Sorry for your loss.
"5th in the North East!"
That sounds almost respectable.
Certainly better than "Tied for last in the league for Least Freaking wins!"

Later my Brother.

I still say Howard for Coach and Freddie p for manager. At least the post los press conferances will be funny not just laughable.

I stopped watching them in the mid-90s. Too frustrating.

Your anecdote reminds me of my metal shop teacher calling me an eternal optimist for wearing my Leafs jersey to school. That was the 92/93 season... I'm sure we all remember that one.

We could use a second coming of Dougie too. This team needs an enema!
