Oh God it feels good to be able to hate our traditional rivals. I can't believe that we had to stumble through the late 90s and early 00s hating the senators because of the Habs' bumbling. Of course, they never have had to worry about that because the Leafs could go winless and they would still hate them because they play in Toronto.

Now we have a player that their fanbase hates, they actively try to injure our players, and their stupid owner is stupidly trying to ruin my favourite soccer team. If he cans Rafa then this rivalry has just gotten personal.  I don't want to say that I'll burn the Bell Centre down but get some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate chips just in case.
