It can't be only three months - the miserable anticipation, then wretched stagnation, made it seem more like years. Oh the bitter words I did not write, because what was the use. I have said for years that the league is too big and the season is too long but this solution was just too drastic.

Here in Leafs Nation it is back to lose-lose as usual. The new team owners decided to fire the GM months ago, they say, but did not get around toactually doing it until two days ago. The word amongst local sportswreiters , with 99% of whom Burke the Jerk was at deadly feud, is that it was insanity to fire a four-year coach just when he is undefeated in January.

At least in Detroit you can hold your heads up .

So, Boston have beaten us again. No news, they always beat us, but at least this time it was only 1-0 and the 0 is arguable, if you want to argue with the refs, good luck.

the Leafs are a good representation of our city; a couple Ontarians, including a homeboy Muslim. a German, a couple Scands.. some Yanks, an African-Canadian, a Franco-Albertan captain, and 1/2 a goaltender.

Geez...did they not realize it was your birthday?

Next year, my Amazon Brigade, now that women are permitted to be in combat, will hold the families of the referees in secret locations until the final score is decided for your inept team...at least it will be a nice birthday present...

Nope...we learned the "hard" way, now we only use sheep with the Amazon Lesbian Strap-0n Front Line Dominatrix Brigade...it was a really "hard" lesson to learn.

However, since the Thebes used this paradigm, we will also...

"The Sacred Band of Thebes (Ancient Greek: Ἱερὸς Λόχος, Hieròs Lókhos) was a troop of picked soldiers, consisting of 150 pairs of male lovers which formed the elite force of the Theban army in the 4th century BC. It is said to have been organised by the Theban commander Gorgidas in 378 BC and to have played a crucial role in the Battle of Leuctra. It was annihilated by Philip II of Macedon in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC." <<<<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Band_of_Thebes

We have been deciding between two (2) names for the unit, the Bad Bitches Brigade [bBB], or, the Maniacal Menstrual Motherf_ _ _ _ ers!{MMM]

Just thinking about facing a well armed, committed, brigade of "lovers" at that time of the month...damn, makes even me want to run for cover...

Whoo-hoo! Kessel has finally scored, a game winner, Kadri is winning the faceoffs not that he does anything with them but you can't have everything, In a sloppy season, this is as good as it gets.if you are of Leafs Nation you will put up with anything as we have proven - thanks for the dividend!
