With 82 games, an 0-fer is not statistically probable in this or any other universe.<br /><br />Much like the first goal, the first win will come, and then I predict it will open the floodgates (and yes, I know there can be a crack made about just a trickle coming out, but whatever).<br /><br />The team may not win a lot of games, but they will win some. Hang in there, Leaf fans. :)Baroquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08165802622322008923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-78117260087492195342009-10-17T04:07:16.512-04:002009-10-17T04:07:16.512-04:00<i>If it makes you feel any better other fans take no joy in beating you, it just feels like a kicking a 3 legged puppy.</i><br /><br />I know you mean well, Kyle, but that sentence made me more depressed than this post.

Phew! That is a HUGE relief. Some people out there think it was a real trade. I mean, imagine how completely brain dead you&#39;d have to be to trade away your next two first round picks (and a second!!!) before you&#39;ve even seen your rebuilt team play! Only a caricature of a real GM could possibly have... wait, what? It&#39;s real? Are you sure? You&#39;ve gotta be... Really? For a guy with six bodychecks in an entire season?

Seriously, other than his mother, does he have any defenders left? It is nice to have such unanimity on how much a Leaf sucks. In fact, I don&#39;t think there has been this much unanimity since....Raycroft!cferneyhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16130617593585370736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-51252358154143934602009-10-15T18:21:03.771-04:002009-10-15T18:21:03.771-04:00Holy crap!<br /><br />What the hell was that Axl clip...and why did the band keep playing in the background as he attacked the fans???!!!<br /><br />Anyways, yes, the Leafs are screwed. Can you PLEASE get rid of Toskala already?

The last two years our mentality was &quot;if we win, great; if we lose we are getting better odds at a good pick, so that works too.&quot;<br /><br />Here there is no silver lining. It just sucks.<br /><br />It is a new level of discomfort listening to the ACC crowd boo the whole team instead of just McCabe/Raycroft/Toskala etc.<br /><br />I&#39;ll end my ramble with a seventh good thing: at least Aki isn&#39;t on the defence core.Louienoreply@blogger.com
