Leafs fans. We're pretty awesome, right? Well, we can also be just plain stupid, or stupidly loyal. I'm going to say it's a little bit of both, depending on the game.
I actually have a bone to pick with this team (Thanksgiving, turkey - get it? ha...ha...ha...GONG!) How can one team, who looked SO incredibly promising in the preseason (winning 6 of 9 games), be going into the start of the ACTUAL season which actually COUNTS with a record of 0-4. Some of the games haven't even been close - the game against Washingston was 6-4, and Pittsburgh was 5-2. Dammit Leafs...just dammit!!
This year we have some body on our team. Just look at Colton Orr! The guy is amazing! He wears my idol, Tie Domi's, former number 28. He makes me pretty proud, and I'm sure Domi is loving it, too. It's the first time since Domi retired from the Leafs and NHL in 2006 that the Leafs have had a real enforcer. Only two minutes into the game against Pittsburgh Orr took on Eric Gondard. Not even five minutes after, he's thrown in the box again for roughing. That was only in Saturday night's game. That record has been continuous all season so far. Love it! At least there is some excitement to watching the game that doesn't involve either a) balling my eyes out, or b) dying a little bit inside with every passing second.
It's probably a good thing that my body has had since April 11, 2009 to rebuild my blue blood count. It looks like it's going to be drained realllllllllll early this year. I feel like deleting my previous post about how awesome this season is going to be. If anything, I jynxed them myself. It's only natural that a good looking team will fall apart when it counts (and we're not even fighting for a playoff spot, yet!), and a brutal, bleak outlook team would blow you away.
Please, please, PLEASE win against the Rangers tomorrow night! All I am asking for is one win this season, hopefully sooner than later!
