Actually, i enjoyed watching the Habs get humiliated by the Bruins, and now i'm watching Dion Phaneuf, Luke Schenn & James Reimer star for Team Canada at the World Championships in Slovakia. How come no Habs players on the team? LOL!!!!!! Go Canada Go!!!!!!
1. If the Habs were indeed "humiliated" by losing in the
seventh game (!) in
overtime (!), then perhaps it doesn't take much to be "humiliated"...OR, you SURE don't have a lot of respect for the Bruins!
2. I must give credit to the Leafs: I think it has now been SEVEN years since THEY were "humiliated" in the playoffs. Of course, one possible reason for that is they have been unable to MAKE IT to the freakin' playoffs in SEVEN years. We won't even talk about their
44 (!!!) years without even a SNIFF at the finals. Maybe if Burkie spent more time on hockey and less time marching in Gay Pride parades, he could at least bring his squad back up to the
21st overall position they occupied before he took over. Sure, 21st overall sucks the big one, but it's still better than Burkie has ever achieved with his pack of Hogtown losers.
3. If you want to see a REAL GM, just look at Kenny Holland, whose great Red Wings are ALWAYS in the hunt. And speaking of great Red Wings, how about their valiant comeback win last night against the Sharks? Datsyuk played one of the greatest and most courageous games in playoff history - not that that will be any surprise to hockey fans anywhere. Even the blind and witless fans of the Leafs must realize that a) the Wings are by far the best, classiest, and most consistent hockey team of the last two decades, and b) Datsyuk is one TERRIFIC hockey player.
4. If you want to see ANOTHER REAL GM, look no further than Stevie Y., who was not only a great, courageous player (just like Datsyuk...and so many other Wings), but who is also a brilliant hockey mind (no doubt helped by watching the genius of Kenny Holland for so many years). Compare what Stevie has done with T-Bay in his FIRST year as GM to what Burkie has been UNABLE to do in SEVERAL years in loserland.
5. As for the World Championships, let's face it: they are nothing but a CONSOLATION event for LOSERS like the Leafs who never make it to the REAL event. Dion, the most overrated player in the entire NHL as voted by his FELLOW NHL players (!!!), can go there and pretend he's a big man. Sadly for Dion and the rest of his loser Leafs, however, reality will set in as soon as the next season starts. Before long, he and the other Leafs will be making their usual plans for either golf or the consolation event, and their brainwashed deadhead fans will start braggiing about how the NEXT year will be better (just like they always do, only to fall on their faces and look like total idiots when the Leafs bomb out time after time). You'd these same fans, who have been bragging for at least half a decade about how their team is going in the right direction might have learned by now. but like PT Barnum supposedly said: There's a sucker born every minute (and most of them come out of the womb wearing a Maple Leafs sweater).
