Lets's examine everything you wrote Doc:
1. The "Leafs played a great game' - not a good game, but a great one!
Yet, they srill LOST...and to the Habs of all teams - who, as you keep telling us, are simply horrendous. I dunno: something does not compute. Shouldn't a terrific team like the Leafs, playing a "great" game, be able to beat the lowly Habs? Uh, maybe not...since they've now lost BOTH times they played this season.
2. "Leafs deserved to win" - Wrong. The team that wins is the team that deserves to win - seems kind of elementary, doesn't it?
3. "Leafs should have won" - uh, NO! See items 1 and 2 above. "Despite of Vesa Toskala" - uh, last time I checked, a goalie was part of the team - probably the most important part. If Toskala's no good, maybe your team is no good.
4. "Leafs showed they had pride, guts & glory by coming back as they did against an inferior opponent." Pride? Ha ha ha ha ha - they're the worst freakin' team in the NHL, probably the worst freakin' Leafs team of all time, and they have one win in 12 games! What is there to be proud about?
Guts? They have a team of cowards, backstabbers, and selfish players (hi there, Mike Komisarek) - they "came back" but lost anyway - where are the guts?
"Glory" - NOW, I'm really laughing! Glory? The Leafs? Are you freaking kidding? Is the "glory" in their one win of the season, is it in their not winning a Cup since 67, is it in losing to the habs 2 out of 2 this season, is it in the memories of Harold Ballard, is it in the scandals at Maple Leaf Gardens, or is it in their storied history of players like Tie Domi, Brian Spencer, and Jiri Tlusty?
"Coming back against an inferior opponent" - well, if the opponent was "inferior", then a} why did they have to come back? b) why did they go on to LOSE after coming back? and c) why are they 0 and 2 against an "inferior" opponent? Typical Doc "logic"!
5. "Montreal was once again very lucky" - typical loser's lament! If you win, it's because you were better, but if you lose it's because of bad luck - BS!
6. "I'm proud of the way the Leafs came back...even if they lost the crappy skills competition". Good - glad you're "proud" to see your hopeless bunch of outcasts and misfits lose yet again. As for the "hopeless skills competition" - a) they lost the skills competition because they have no skills, b) the "hopeless skills competition" is part of the game. It's in the rule book. Every team has to abide by it. If you don't like it, start watching croquet instead of hockey! c) Again, typical loser's lament: "it's not my TEAM that's bad, it's the RULES". Maybe you should buy a set of crying towels. In the Leafs case, a full set contains 82 towels!
7. "I had a fantastic time at the game...even if the Leafs only 1 pt. tonight" (sic). Well Doc, I'm glad you enjoyed the game...but as for "only 1 pt", what's the problem? One point is a lot MORE than your pathetic losers USUALLY get - so it was a very successful night for them - congratulations.
