I’ve been a fan of this team since grade four, back when I played floor hockey at school a lot… and wow. What can I say now?
Well okay, they can lose and lose and lose and lose and lose and lose and lose and lose (8 games straight)… but come on Mr. Burke.. for a team that’s supposed to be rebuilding, you CAN’T give away the first round draft pick! We’re losing without a cause now. Last year or the year before, pragmatic fans could emphatically jump up and down in glee when the team loses.. because at least the odds of a first overall pick would increase.
But now that we traded our hope and future to the BRUINS (for Phil Kessel), what can we cheer for now? This team is in COMPLETE disarray. our goalies can’t save a bus if it were coming their way. Our forwards can’t score. Our defence can, but in the wrong net.
Sure, next year’s draft is supposedly not as deep. But it’s still much better than nothing.
I am being hypocritical, since these guys are much better than I am. But that’s not the point. They’re not supposed to be competing against me. I’m just a fan making a commentary.
Interesting note .. I was reading the ESPN NHL Power Rankings and found the Leafs in their predictable position (30th).. the comment: “Over/under on which month the Leafs get their first win stands at December as questions persist as to whether this is the worst Leafs team of all time. Until they get a win, it is a valid question.” Oh, the misery..
A picture’s worth a thousand words.. so..
