Literally

Whenever the Leafs become a good team again, I'm going to be like this guy in yesterday's xkcd. I will find those people who said "the Leafs suck and have always sucked and will suck forever" and I'll jump all over them. I can't wait for that time. Yesterday afternoon, I pulled out my 10 Greatest Games DVDs and popped in Doug Gilmour's game - game 1 of the 1993 second round against the St. Louis Blues. What a great year to have been a Leafs fan - after some incredibly horrible years, there was a sudden turn-around and a march deep into the playoffs. I hope that happens again soon because when it does, I'll be the most insufferable person to be around in Vancouver. I can't wait.

On to the links.
