The Leaf Thing Blew.

I guess the big Leaf 40th anniversary sort of sucked.
I didn't watch it but the Star and a bunch of other sources said it was underwhelming at best.
Mike Boon had a nice perspective on the Suckage.

Myself I didn't watch it. I asked Mike earlier in the day to remind me but then I quickly forgot.
Here's a secret. I could never stand the Leafs. I used to cheer for them somewhat, cause they were the hometown team and it seemed the right thing to do, although I made no bones about really liking the Bruins.
The fact is I grew up a Bruin fan and hated the Habs and the Leafs.
In Western Canada all we ever saw on Saturday nights were the Leafs and Habs and whomever they were playing.

It used to drive my Dad nuts at how the announcers were such homers.
The joke was that anyone could beat the Leafs 8-1 and all 3 stars would be from Toronto.
I miss a lot of things about my old job. Pretending to give a crap about the Leafs isn't one of them.
Now the Argo's. Those guys I really liked.
