The curse


There it was on the front page of the rag 24 hours...

The Leafs don't suck they Blow!

I can almost see Willingdon Black on his way to work seeing that and cringing at the idea that the balance of fate has now been stupidly tipped in favor of the Toronto Maple Leafs. You see the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Vancouver Canucks tomorrow, and event that happens every couple of years... You can see Vancouver vs Minnesota 8 times a year but who gives a damn. Does Vancouver even play Montreal this year?

But the die has been cast

the leafs don't suck they blow... Going to blow out Vancouver 5-1 tomorrow.

I hope for an overtime Leaf win. If the Canucks win will I be happy? Only time will tell, but I have a strong feeling that the idgit who made the call for the 24 cover has made a foolish mistake. There are many tales of sports history where a bad editorial decision has affected a sports match. Scotty Bowman would apparently collect such headlines and post them in the locker room to inspire his team for a stomping.

Before 24 hours and Dose and Metro I was the publisher of the Lynx Paw Courier... We printed 3 papers with fine articles but lacked proper distribution and other important factors. Under no circumstances would I have run an Omen baiting cover like that.

Well I just did some research... Vancouver plays Montreal after Toronto and that's it for the year. 2 games, 1 each against the 2 Canadian teams that are bona-fide classics, and 16 games vs Minnesota and Colorado... That is just completely fucking insane. Toronto and Montreal don't even come to play in Vancouver this year... Totally wrong and outright insulting to the fans that get soaked by this marketing franchise.

Well Vancouver won 6-1 because they have a goalie and Toronto has a human in equiptment watching pucks go past him into the net.

none the less, i take full responsibility for the loss by taunting somebody taunting the Omens thus nulifying the balance of Karma
