So the Toronto Maple Leafs had their first back to back weekend of the season with mixed results. They played 5 minutes of fury against the New York Rangers in what has to have been the loudest 5 regular season minutes out of the suites at ACC in recent non-playoff memory.
That 5-2 victory made up for all those 2-0 games last that ended up being 4-0 games, or even the 8-0 game which I happened to attend last season against Florida, where the clowns shut it down after being down 3-0 in the first.
Sunday was another see-saw battle which I didn't get to see, but once again, but the Leafs had trouble keeping their lead and lost despite an attempted comeback in the 3rd period.
One thing to take away from this.... They won't quit......
This team doesn't quit, and why do you ask don't they quit? Look at the Toronto Marlies last season in the playoffs. In 2 series which they won, they took the series to 7 games each time. Including a spectacular comeback against Syracuse coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Maybe they are worried about their place on the team, they know that every player can be replaced on this team, or they have faith in their teammates, not counting their enormous wealth and making jokes about their no-trade clauses in their 5 year contracts.
But once again Howard Berger seems to put his hate on for leafs nation. I have read his column a few times, and felt the writing was just not up to par for a newspaper, and when I read his blog calling Leaf fans stupid, I think Berger should really try to work on being professional and not condescending to leaf fans. Remember, if it weren't for the Leaf fans, you probably wouldn't be one of those beat reporters for the leafs.... The Leafs blogosphere has once again responded with an open letter to Howard. I couldn't agree more.
