sorry I cursed you with this team, old bean

It has brought me countless hours of pleasure in exchange for mere minutes of misery.

Even last night's game was thoroughly enjoyable for 75 minutes and only the last few seconds were heartbreaking.

I would just be ruminating about it for the rest of the summer

it's a pleasure not to have that weight upon my shoulders, for the first time in fifty years

I'm over it.

Leafs did their best but just couldn't come up with an answer to Bobrowsky.

Now I've just got Leeds Utd's relegation struggle to worry about...

well that's not how it is when you've been raised on it like mothers milk to be your identity

the decades of futility, the annual heartbreak, year after year, it starts to twist in your guts

It's lucky I came to it late then. 

By the time the Leafs have had another 50 years of failure I'll be long dead

indeed

you are now about where I was in 1978

and I was thinking the Leafs were going to win the Cup that year

I never thought the drought would go on for another 45 years

the other brutal slog of being a Leafs fan is that you have to watch your favourite players leave

they become desperate to get out, so they can try to win the Cup, usually in America

Matthews & Nylander are UFA at the end of next season

That's even worse in football as players who are in contract can still be sold to the highest bidder. Lowly teams like Leeds can't hope to hold onto any player who proves to be exceptional.

I haven't been taking much interest in FI this year.

I keep up with the results but I haven't been watching the highlights.

without cable, I've gone back to how life was in the 1970's

only two channels, not much to watch on tv most of the time

so I mostly listen to music and read

when I was a boy, Hockey Night In Canada was only one game on Saturday night on the CBC

and other than the sports section of the newspaper, there wasn't any other coverage

we spent most of our time playing hockey, not watching it

I never bother reading all the press. 

Unless I want to know if a player is still injured.

I'll just ask on the nhl66 chatbox if I want to know something.

I just watch the games.

I do watch the occasional documentary about a old player etc to help learn the history.

Kyle Dubas will of course be quickly snapped up by another team

then watch that team win the Cup too before MLSE ever does

Stan Rogers knows

That would be sweet. I like seeing Froederik Andersen still in it. The teams are boring to watch now to me, but I'd like to see Carolina go all the way because of Andersen and Brent Burns.
