What I’m looking forward to:
• Seeing a hockey game in the CENTRE OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE
• Watching the Leafs blow it
• I guess there are worse places to be for Hockey Day in Canada
• Watching the Seahawks lose on Sunday
What I’m not looking forward to:
• The city
• The people
• The Tim Hortons coffee
• Recovering from the beating I take for wearing my Leafs Suck shirt
Canucks memories:
• Greg Adams! Greg Adams! Game 5 double OT!
• Even though we ended up losing this game was amazing. Naslund totally undressed Joseph on a penalty shot (why can’t he do that in shootouts these days?)
• My (Leafs fan) friend ran into Mats Sundin before the Canucks-Leafs game last year. He approached him and said “Mats, my friend Earl hates the Leafs, could he get your autograph?” Here it is:
• Here’s a slide I made for him to display at his desk after the Canucks beat the Leafs last year:
• The Leafs blowing it against the Kings in 93 after the Kerry Fraser/Wayne Gretzky/Doug Gilmour incident (ok, this wasn’t a Canuck memory but I still enjoyed it)
Bets for the trip (lots more of these coming:
• Number of Jumbotron appearances: I’ve got 0, 1 is a push, Ernest has 2+ (He is a Jumbotron whore after all)
