I'm the same. I've really enjoyed watching these guys for 10 years. Some of the best skill ever to wear a Leafs uni. I've said it many times, my summer's never change whether they win or lose. I enjoy the show both with good endings and bad ones. Last I checked, my name isn't going on the cup, and I'm not getting paid millions to play a game. Hockey is entertainment, nothing more. Doesn't mean I don't want them to win and I like bitching about dumb plays etc but at the end of the day, what do any of us get if they win it all? You get to brag to your friends for a few days about something you had zero part in?It is.
Which is why, while obviously I’d have loved the leafs to win, I still enjoyed watching the incredible levels of skill under Dubas/Keefe. I’d rather have watched that than watch them play the way they have the last 2 years even it it had taken them further in the playoffs.
Maybe I’m part of the problem.
(If they’d won it all last year I’d probably have accepted one year of unwatchable hockey)
Enjoy the show everyone and breathe deep...this one is almost over and then we can look forward and bitch about the next GM/POHO, UFAs and all that stuff soon enough.
