I was just reading about the Curse of Muldoon. The Blackhawks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 and they're blaming Pete Muldoon and a curse he put on the club back in 1927. That's their excuse for having the longest cup-less drought in NHL history. Guess who's #2?
The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't won it all since 1967, but where's our curse? I suppose we could blame Harold Ballard who assumed sole control of the team in 1971, but that's not really a curse. That was mediocre management, which is a curse of sorts, but not nearly as sexy as the Curse of the Bambino or the Curse of the Billy Goat.
We're a season away from hitting the big 4-0. Only the Blackhawk faithful have it worse, but at least they know they're cursed. We've just stunk.
