Introducing the Leafmobile

by Chemmy on Oct 8, 2009 10:36 AM EDT in News Comment 56 comments

Will Leafmobile be our good luck charm?

Currently I'm trying to get a job on the TSN analyst panel but they told me I need to have some hard hitting TSN style analysis. I looked at the Leafs terrible record and decided what's wrong with the team is most likely curse related due to that time John Mitchell swore at a voodoo priest while on a trip to New Orleans.

Obviously the only way to break a curse is to have a good luck charm. First up is the lucky rabbit's foot which is much too fuzzy and not nearly truculent enough with the additional negative of not being politically correct anymore.

~~Then it hit me: what we need is a hilariously decorated car. One google search and an obliging old webpage later I had found the Leafmobile. What does Leafmobile bring to the table? I'll tell you!~~

~~Leafmobile is a bonafied certified super-sized Toronto ride.~~
~~With some clever work we can make "316 miles to Pittsburgh" jokes.~~
~~This car is so mean it crashes into Dany Heatley.~~
~~You like Leafmobile and think it's awesome.~~

~~So with all of those terrific reasons it's easy to see why Leafmobile is here to stay.~~

UPDATE: Gustavsson to the IR. Leafmobile is the worst good luck charm ever.

Technically Gustavsson was hurt pre-Leafmobile (PLM).

I think it could still work.

The Leafmobile might have limited the severity of the injury.

The Leafmobile – is there nothing it can’t do?

If we’re going to either make our own if that nasty Pontiac above is deemed already cursed, I suggest something made in Ontario- a tricked-out Civic Type-S if it applies. Surely someone (Jared) could do a digital design. I would suggest a GM product, but Pete’s fans never cheer for anything from Oshawa. Except one of the numerous successful criminal prosecutions of a General’s teenage fan.

We need to get one of those limited edition 07 blue Super Bee Dodge Chargers and turn into the NEW Leafsmobile.

Or we could get a pickup and call it The TRUCKulence.

The Leaf-Mobile has it’s own website?

On Wednesday, April 10, 2002, I appeared at court for the Leafmobile’s 1st traffic ticket (improper use of a flashing blue light). I arrived promptly at 9:00 am and spoke to counsel regarding my plea of guilty with an explanation. My request to have the ticket fully withdrawn was firmly denied and she explained that she could only lower the $110.00 fine.

Ten minutes later my name was called and I approached the bench to defend myself. I continued to plead guilty with an explanation and the judge questioned, “What is this flashing blue light?”

I replied, “I have a picture your honor. May I approach the bench?”

Upon reviewing the picture of the Leafmobile with its trademark flashing blue light, he inquired, “Leafs fan?”

“Yes your honor.” I answered with pride.

No sooner did I answer and the judge firmly stated, “Dismissed”

I looked at council confused as she explained that the charge was dropped and that I could go. The charging officer, Ian Kosher, sat laughing in the courtroom.
