Hard To Figure

Yes, it really is hard to be a Maple Leafs fan the way they run you through the wringer with their bi-polar behaviour.

On Friday and Saturday Leaf fans were in the depths of despair following the hockey clubs two losses in Washington and Montreal. Four points that looked like a sure thing going in turned into one point coming out.

But then last night Leaf fans left the ACC in the throws of ecstasy. Not only had the Leafs beaten the formidable New Jersey Devils 2-1, but Wade Belak had achieved a certain degree of revenge in a long and tiring fight with Cam Jannsen.

No doubt the most popular phrase of Leafs fans is "what if." After last nights victory you're left wondering "what if" they had beaten Washington and Montreal - They'd be tied for sixth place this morning, but instead they're tied in an eighth place log jam with Montreal and Carolina.

It really is frustrating, but at the same time it gives you hope. If they can beat Jersey, why can't they beat Buffalo? Two weekend games against Buffalo this weekend looked hopeless 24 hours ago, but now there's actually a flicker of optimism.

Man we're suckers.

I'm telling ya Freddie. Team Rope a Dope. Leaf Fans are the Dopes. They're playing teams that are either in the playoffs (Buffalo), or really banged up like the Devils last night. They were missing Gionta and Elias. Their two best players. IF the Leafs make the playoffs, they'll be playing these teams at full strength and it will mean something to them. Big difference.

Who cares they sucked last year, this year ,next year and probably for many more years to come if they make the playoffs they are done in the first round and that will be okay for leaf fans
