I still myself watching and cheering for the Leafs. I know the best thing is to hope they lose every game and get the one of the top 3 picks in the draft but my first instinct to cheer for the buds. I can’t help myself.

When Tucker scored in the empty net, I stood and cheered in my family room. I was thinking “take that, Habs fan”.

Argie, we disagree about Dubya, but we agree about the Leafs.

I too cheered out loud when Tucker scored into the empty net. It's in our blood to root for the blue and white, even when the playoffs are a near impossibility.

My wife recently asked me “why do you still cheer for the Leafs?”
I answered “Why do I like women? I don’t why, I just do.”

Haha. My ex-wife once told me that I loved the Leafs more than I loved her... she was probably right.

Go Leafs Go!

It took years for my wife to realize that I'd always have a date on Saturday nights during the hockey season.

One Saturday night she made me go to her company Christmas party and, while sitting at a table with her boss, I snuck a bud into my ear to listen to the game. The Leafs scored and I yelped - I still hear about that one. Apparently, this isn't appropriate behaviour in social situations of that nature. What choice did I have?

I've bailed on trips to the in-laws during playoffs - that's a whole different kettle of fish. I'd miss the birth of my child for a playoff game.
