Monday's FTB: I got nothing.

What the hell, Maple Leafs fans?

I really have nothing to say aside from that.

An awful, awful weekend.

Awful starts to the season for key players.

So...there’s a game tonight against the Hurricanes at 7PM, if you’re interested in that at all. It’s on Sportsnet if you want to bother.

In a probably more exciting game, with a better outcome, and better players you can watch Game two of a pre-Olympic series with Canada vs USA. That’s also at 7PM on TSN5.

So, there’s a podcast you could listen to.

Look, i know the Leafs are bad right now, but at least - AT LEAST - we aren’t the Sabres. That said even Sabres fans don’t want to talk about their on ice performance.

They also aren’t doing well.

Blackhawks lose 6-3.
Fall to 0-5-1.

This is very bad.

The Blackhawks could make dubious NHL history tonight. The NHL record for the longest drought without a lead to start a season is 324:25 by Charlie O. Finley's California Golden Seals in 1970, per research via @stathead. The Hawks (0-4-1) are at 300:57 going into tonight's game.

When will it get better?

The Blackhawks are one of just two teams in the NHL without a win so far this season (0-4-1), and they’re down 4-1 to Detroit in their own barn tonight. Their next opponent is the Leafs on Weds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, so Wednesday.

We don’t want to leave you all on a downer, so here’s a story about someone trying something new, and it working:
