Did I just make a word up to describe this post? Maybe but it sounds real doesn't it. Or is it real? Who knows and who cares. Today is a freebie day. You can do whatever you want since it's not a real day. Historically the Leafs have decided to win. They are 8-1 on February 29ths. Not only that but they have won 5 of their last 6 and are 11-5-1 in their last 17! Normally three streaks plus their opponent being terrible would be a recipe for a loss but it's the 29th of February, anything goes. Anyway, here's some stuff to read while you take the day off of work because you signed a contract for 365 days dammit.
- Joe Pelletier tells the story of the man that kept Mats from waiving his no trade clause. Dear Borje, why do you hate the Leafs?
Sean is suffering from being around too many sens fans. Mats is like the Pope, infallible.
Steve has a plan for the summer and it involves a remarkably small number of buy-outs. I think it's got legs. I'll ruin the surprise though: tata Bryan, Razor, and Belly.
Norte is confused. Actually, I am too but I like being able to bitch about the Leafs. I feel like I am tricking them and if they knew I wanted them to win they'd start breaking my heart again...oh shit.
The Omen makes up cutesy nicknames just as good as any blogger. "Muskoka Five" and "the 1967s" are pretty good but isn't he supposed to be above that since he's a journalist? At least his mailbag isn't all MEGADITTOES this week.
Matt has his latest baseball standings. It's the closest the Jays will be to the playoffs all year./
