Given what's going on with the NBA, I suspect the NHL stands to benefit. Let's see what San Jose can do this year...

OK the Wings are not kicking butt liked I had hoped, but they are good enough for a 21st straight year in the playoffs.

44 years of futility. 44 years and yet I still remain in this relationship with you my dear blue and white. I have finished elementary and high school with your futility hanging in the air. I have followed you, even during times when I should have not **coughthesiscough**. And yet I still follow you. There are people who have lived a lifetime with seeing the blue and white raising Lord Stanley in victory. I beg of you, Maple Leafs of Toronto do not forsake me once more. I fear that my heart has grown weary. Most recently, these Wing of Red from Detroit have been courting me. Alas, I shall stay vigilant to you through my trials and tribulations.

It's my fault isn't it? It always is. Perhaps I don't cheer well enough or I don't go see you anymore at your home. But how could I? You're only ever available through dogdy means.

Sigh has it come to this my beloved Leafs?

Things have changed a bit for the leafs in the last three years with proper management under Brian Burke.....former GM of the Canucks. He helped build Vancouver into the powerhouse it currently enjoys being.....yes, I'm a Canuck fan.


Vancouver and Toronto in the Final. Although my dream final would be Pittsburgh /Vancouver.

I feel your anguish and futility Ngagh. I too had the misfortune of an alligance to a team of under achievers, 20yrs passed with my team (the Penrith Panthers of the National Rugby League competition). To the amazement of almost everyone i knew I followed my team faithfully year after year of coming last, of winning the dreaded "wooden spoon" award. It became a victory to celebrate if we came second last.
I must admit there was a feeling of exubarance if we simply defeated a team, a feeling of satisfaction if we simply competed to a point where we could have a won the game with the right bounce of the ball going our way.
If we defeated a competition front runner it was as though we had won the Grandfinal but fleeting when simply to be massacered the next week and the next week and next.
Twenty years after joining the competition and twenty years of futile support were rewarded with a Grandfinal win YEEEHAAA ... what a feeling... cannot be put into words.
What I realized was, suddenly the old supporters who had fell away over the years over tortorous failure were now claiming this team as their own..... the name for these supporters i give as fair weather supporters ....
You and I Ngagh can never be accussed of being "fair weather supporters". We are there through thick n thin, through the worst and finally the best. We are the reason they survive the worst to finally bath in the glory of total victory.
Stay the path Ngagh, your time will come

Apparently we look like this now
I've been to a hockey game. The first time the Panthers were in the Finals, the following season, the NHL decided to have an expedition game between the Panthers and Lightning in Orlando. They were considering giving Orlando an expansion team. But, that died. Less than 200 people showed up. It was eerie being in the O-Rena with so few people in it. We bought $10 tickets and were able to move down to front row on the second level, right above the ice.
