Yes we love the Leafs. When I was young the only NHL we could get was fuzzy CBC from Windsor on the antenna. And of course Hockey Night in Canada. So yes the Leafs are our team. My brother and I have decided that when the Leafs win the Cup we're going to get a Maple Leaf tattoo, which my wife hates the idea of. I've told her don't worry, I'll probably be dead before it happens.
When each season starts and then the playoffs begin my one goal is: Blackhawks don't win and then Red Wings don't win. It's almost more that I hope Chicago and Detroit lose than I hope the Leafs win. It must be in my blood to support losers. Before he passed away my Dad was a huge Cubs fan. I guess we just love the underdog.
i see i'm quite a latecomer to this report, but a fan all the same! i felt like i was right there drinking margaritas along with you thanks for a great read!
