Time to admit that I used to be a Habs fan. Grew up in Ottawa when those were the only games we could watch. Upside was I got to watch them kick the poop out of the Bruins regularly. Maybe we’re all paying for that now. Sorry. - Canada Cup
You did the right thing by telling us. Luckily the Leafs fan inside you murdered the Habs fan that you were. |

I wonder if the damn kids today understand this.
'member those little schedules the used to print? They were like a six panel fold.
Anywhoooo, I distinctly remember getting one in the mid-90s, and being absolutely thrilled that almost all the Leafs games would be on TV that year. IIRC, there were only six that weren't going to be broadcast.

I remember around 1993-94 the green and white (i think) schedule, I thought they came in the newspaper, same idea, shows what channel the games are on. |

Game 7 - Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators - 2004
The loudest Leafs game I have ever attended.
Oh my god, the crowd was going that night. |

I'm guilty as well. Dad hated the Flyers, so he cheered for the Habs. |

Mine once counter surfed and took down an entire blueberry pie.
The fact that the pie was gone wasn’t the worst part. Imagine the mess |

I remember there was this game in the early-mid 80s, Oilers at Leafs. So obviously the Leafs were not good, and the Oilers were an unstoppable death squad. I remember the Leafs won and the score was something like 11-9 or 9-7; something ridiculous like that. The odds on that were probably 1000 to 1. So that would be a good classic game to watch.
Other Leaf classics that come to mind are the game where Domi fought the Flyers fan in the penalty box; the game where Mats scored his 500th goal on a shorthanded OT blast; and that recent afternoon game this season against the Canes were the Leafs scored 5 goals or whatever it was to come back.

Big cats can catch Covid-19 now; a tiger at the Bronx Zoo tested positive. Several big cats showed symptoms but they all recovered. No cases in domestic cats or dogs have been confirmed yet, and if it were possible you think it would have happened by now.

I can't believe the WWE.
They put on Wrestlemania with no audience. The thing is they still have only 1 referee. Without a crowd there to help the ref. when some skulduggery is about to happen, there is no way a single referee can see all the action.
This is bullpoop. There is a ton of cheating going on. Someone definitely needs to protest these results. |

Crazy how fast it happens. We can’t believe how far our dog can reach, thinking we’ve placed the food far enough away. He’s only 45lbs, not a big dog at all, but the boy can stretch. |

1993 Game 7 Heavy favorite Wings and Leafs. Bob Cole and Harry Neale on the Mics. Will never get any better than that game. Leafs went on to play 21 games in 42 nights. Totally ran out of gas. |

Christmas morning came down to find the plate of cookies gone and the dog on his back passed out with icing sugar all over his face. He blamed the cat. |

It was fun. The Habs had some awesome teams in the 70's.
It was still cool to go to the "Canadiens locker room" in the Hockey Hall of Fame last year. |

Friend in the dogpark (from last dog) had a great story:
Was prepping for a dinner party. Had some pork chops on the counter. Did some stuff, came back to the kitchen, pork chops were gone.
Cursed out the dog, went to butcher, bought more meat, hosted dinner party.
End of night after everyone had gone, he had just finished cleaning up when he realized: one of the pork chops was held together with a metal skewer.
Hopped in cab (no condition to drive), went to 24 hour emergency room. Took x-ray - yep, there was a metal skewer in dog's belly - obviously a metal skewer will show up pretty well on an x-ray.
Major stomach surgery. Major vet bill.
Franking dogs. |

And two True Wedgie Stories in one:
Last dog blew out her knee. Took to vet, we did x-rays, etc. Dog told us to come back in a week. Warned me that for poop like this, dog will probably need knee surgery. I can't remember exact numbers, so will just make them up: something like 7K for the surgery, although you could go to U of Guelph and get it done for half the price.
But she warned me: with most cases, the dog will blow out the other knee in rehab, so you'll just do it again, and pay again.
So I'm sitting in the waiting room, bracing myself for this bad news, and I'm just kinda staring out the window...and Doug Gilmour walks by. I swear to franking goodness, Doug franking Gilmour walks by the window. Suddenly a calmness washes over my body - he's my favourite all-time Leaf - this is a sign everything will be alright.
Two minutes later, it hits me: Dougie's career ended when he blew out a knee. I go back to full panic mode.
Turns out the dog didn't need surgery, although she was basically a house dog after that - didn't want to go for walks.
I swear to franking goodness, this is a 100 per cent True Wedgie Story.
Bonus True Wedgie Story:
I told this story to my vet. She laughed and had her own story:
She was treating a dog from a new customer. They were shooting the poop while talking - turns out the guy had got the dog in Dallas, moved to Toronto for work - but he was currently not working due to a labour dispute.
The vet graciously offered to work out a payment plan, since the dog needed something done. He politely declined - said he was fine, he could pay immediately.
She went home and told her husband. He asked what his name was.
"Joe Nieuwendyk." |

FFS, I think half the team is in the HHOF. |

The next year they lost 10 games all year, regular season and playoffs. Oh, and the NHL said that was the third best team of all time because it didn’t have a Gretzky or a Lemieux on it.
10 games. |
