Toronto Maple Leafs win their first game of the year!!!!

[eraser]

I've been a Habs fan since the early 60s but have lived in southern Ontario most of my life - surrounded by Leaf fans and saturated by the Toronto media.

I used to really enjoy hating the Leafs. (Dave Keon was always giving my hero, Jean Beliveau, fits.) But finally, I feel sorry for them and hope they at least have a respectable season.

...feeling sorry for the Leafs ... hmmm. umm.. uh.... NOT!

Jean Beliveau! There's a true legend. I've met the man at golf tournaments and on the plane a couple of times. I always shake his hand and say hello.

I once met with the Rocket (off topic, I know, and we'll be back to Leafs bashing shortly). It was a book signing and I shook his hand and was prepared with what I wanted to say and all that came out was . ______________________ and I almost cried, I swear. It was like meeting a ghost. The man had a stare that went right into your head.

Bummer, the Leafs' streak ends at one.
The NHL apparently omitted to inform my Habs they had a game tonight in Pittsburg (Pens 7-Habs 1)

Why can't Hamilton get a NHL team? Because Toronto is first in line to get one, someday.


What do the Leafs and the Titanic have in common? They're both magnificent until they hit the ice.

The Maple Leafs won their last game againsts Carolina and, for the 2nd time this season, are on a one game winning streak.
