Albert, We Need You

canadiantireI chose the Jays game tonight over the Leafs game, but I flipped over every so often hoping for a Sens loss. Once things got out of hand, I stopped flipping over.

Reading the AP summary of the game I caught a picture of an "Upset Fan" wearing a bag over his head. Here's that picture.

Senators Maple Leafs Hockey

That picture piqued my interest, so I visited UpsetFan.com. The guy behind the site and the movement is Dave Armstrong, the same guy behind the 1985 "Albert, We Need You" campaign. I remember that one, because it was based on a very popular Canadian Tire ad at the time.

Here's that famous Albert ad that ran in the mid-80s. Albert! Albert!

Albert would look sweet in blue and white this October.

Yeah, I didn't have the Jays' game to turn to, I settled for re-runs of The Office after the 2nd period.

Oh well, if they gut the team badly enough, we could take a run at Tavares next year, now that Stamkos is looking like a pipe dream.

Damn you, hockey gods! I needed the Sens to choke! Was that so much to ask for?
