Apathy Inc., 40 Bay Street, Toronto ON. The Home of Your Maple Leafs
I've loved the Leafs effort this much.
Ugh. Seriously, ugh. I don't have it in me to say much about the Leafs since that last game. To cheer myself up I went and re-read Infinite Hope by eyebleaf and Truculence from our own Chemmy in the Maple Leafs Annual. Whatever happened to those halcyon days of hope and promised pugnacity? Are they still somewhere floating in the ether? How do we get them out of the ether? What is ether? What is up with these Leafs?
Ugh...
- Things may be dire at the ACC, but MLHS shines a light on the future, and the future shines right back.
- Rob in SoCal is bundling up for a long, cold winter. That means wearing socks and possibly some pants instead of shorts. Brrrr mi amigo.
- Even in these times, Loser Domi can still find a few LOLs pour vous.
- The Other Vatican is holding out for a hero. They may take away our points, but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!!1
- Dr. Steve takes Damien to task, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Some things are getting back to normal I guess.
- Furcifer borrows a page from Douglas Adams: don't panic.
- The Muppet brings the turkey for Thanksgiving: Toskala is getting the start says he.
- TSM has Ron Wilson's presser up. From the look on the coaches face, he looks like a man who wishes someone just told him his dog died.
- Truculeafs tosses up a joke in an attempt to get a smile in these tough times.
- Leafs247 has the three keys to victory for the Leafs game tonight. I assume "don't suck" is implied.
- In an effort to put a positive spin on the season so far, the budblog is seeing an end to this Leafs skid. Can't get much lower than the bottom, right?
- Frozen Leafs took the time to write a letter for the Buds. They forgot the P.S. - "stop sucking."
- Toronto Mike recaps the Penguins game. A task so difficult, only a de-motivational poster could express how he's feeling. Been there brother. Been there...
- The Hockey News is reporting that the Leafs are on a search for ways to end this "depressing" start. If they need help might I offer up some advice? Stop sucking.

I’m praying for a better outcome tonight. Dear God, don’t let us be compared to the 74-75 Capitals or the 80-81 Jets.
or the lions in any recent incarnation

Chemmy and I will be attending this game in person. Should the Leafs play terribly; we will force our way into the locker room post game and go truculent on all of their asses.
Wings fan by birth. Leafs fan by truculent osmosis.
If the Leafs don’t win I’m beating up the smallest Rangers fan in attendance.
TRUCULENT

with the “?” at the end, it is hysterical…
Chemmy can make the “Waive Toskala” sign, and Skinny can make the “Improve?” sign. Best of both worlds…

Which incidently out of hte 53 goalies currently listed with stats on NHL.com ranks Toskala 50th, only Michael Leighton, Josh Harding and Alexander Salak are worse.
I DO NOT believe in Vesa Toskala
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
Now now Toskala could rebound and be the best goalie in the league.

I could make a “HOW DO I SAVED PUCK?” sign with a picture of Toskala with a question mark above his head.

What about: “TOSKALA HAS A LOOSE 5 HOLE, THE TRAMP.”

In sort-of Leaf related news, the Dallas Vancouver game went into a shootout last night. Wellwood scored a beauty and Turco looked positively Toskala-esque on the second shot.
Had the Canucks lost, I’m sure Gillis would have contacted the League with some sort of charge against the Leafs.

Also
I really wasn’t name dropping the Maple Leafs Annual. I really did go back and re-read those two essays.
It’s been said before, but it bears repeating: the whole thing is fantastic.

I wish I could somehow go back in time and change the name of my article to “Lazy Assholes That Stink”.

Ron Wilson stands by Vesa Toskala
Hopefully I don’t hit Wilson tonight when I’m throwing beer bottles at Toskala, because lord knows Vesa won’t stop them.

at this point
it’s a failed attempt at giving the goalie a psychological boost.
i hope that’s what it is.

Fuck Doug MacLean,
he is on Hockey Central at noon and going on about trading first round picks is pretty much the stupidest decision anyone can every make.
He then goes on to list examples as all of the current top point producers in the NHL and going see 1st round pick see theres another one.
Absolute crap that people still hiring this guy to come in as a consultant or “expert” unfrigginbelievable.

Oh for gods sake now he is saying because of the Players the Leafs lost they will not be able to win.
I can see about losing Antropov, but we placed Kubina with players that should do just as well if not better and Moore? We are talking about Moore????
