Game Recap: Leafs 1 Canadiens 6

by Chemmy on Oct 12, 2008 12:00 PM EDT in Game Recaps

Well, no bones about it, the Leafs got smoked last night. I sauntered into my house in time to see the Habs score a pair in two minutes to make it 4-0.

In a way it's sort of liberating. The Leafs are not a playoff team, they're not a contender. Thursday's win against the Red Wings is something we now realize will be a rare treat. There are going to be games where the Leafs skate hard, hit hard, and pull off the win against all odds. There are going to be more games like last night, where actual contenders come to the ACC and blow the doors off our entire team.

A Teachable Game

Last night’s game will help teach the kids a lot about the mental side of things.

One thing that was disappointing was all of the traitors that sold their tickets to Habs fans. They should all be ashamed of themselves.

Now i regret not going to the football game, even though we lost in double OT by a point.

worse than being a Leafs fan

getting shivved by crackheads
getting anally raped by a gorilla
being Star Jones’ bicycle seat

Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing

See – we don’t actually know this. We only know that if they’re on, they can compete, and if they’re off, they’ll get killed. We don’t have any idea yet how much of the time they’ll be on, and just what Wilson can do to have them be on more often.

80 more games to sort it out.

Would have been nicer to have played a stinker against Columbus or someone like that.

Leafs, the universe and everything.
