Idle Hands: God's Team

by PPP on May 27, 2009 3:00 PM EDT

So you guys have once again come through with the goods with our Hockey Reference sponsorships. All of the spots have been renewed and a couple more have been added. Now it's time to decide what we want each caption to say. We have 255 characters (including spaces) to inflict as much psychological damage/hilarity. So it's time to put your thinking caps on. No, not the tinfoil ones. Those are for when the league conspires against the Leafs.

This last one on the docket is the best - thanks to daoust's excellent timing -: Toronto Maple Leafs. We're starting from scratch but have 255 characters to sum up what our team means to us or what it stands for. "Mediocrity" is not an acceptable answer!

i know how it goes
A) they suck and lose all the games they play
B) they play all nice and good, destroy my dream of Russia winning the gold and then make my worst nightmare true by losing to Sweden in final

I really can’t add much to “God’s Team”. It would take more than 255 characters to describe my Leafs.

I love

Sleza’s but there is something interesting to consider… I’m reading A Fan For ALl Seasons, and continuously about Charlie Conacher, Bill Barilko, the big M, the phrase “bleeds maple syrup” is used….
we need to bring that back into circulation./
