As if we needed further proof that Stevie Harpo was out of touch with reality and afflicted with the anti-common sense gene, he says this "I think the Leafs are really coming together as a franchise, I like the team this year, I think it's got no obvious weaknesses"*.
As we wrap up the 40th year anniversary of miserable, cupless Loaf history, I'll just say this to Harpie: Next spring, you'll be following the Leafs Nation right down to South Carolina, where the golfing is abundant, the soda pop flows like water and the people are much like the people you left behind in the West- back in Canada where you will once have had a job.
And don't fret Sad Stevie and you sick, misguided Loaf lovers: Down there they have CPAC and TSN as well, where you'll be able to catch all the playoff highlights and maybe even watch live as Prime Minister Dion salutes Les Habitantes as they hoist their 11th cup for the past 40 years and chart topping 25th cup overall!
Vives les tri-colores!!!

I was nodding my head until the part about the Habs. You drinking in the morning again, k-dough? C'mon. You know they will choke again this year. And BELIEVE ME, I know a thing or two about chokin' hockey teams.
Why'd ya bring up hockey? Why? Why??
Tis the season to gloat about the past successes of my currently on-fire team.
Current overall league standings relevant to this blog post:

This is, like, the best Christmas ever.

KD, what do these stats mean?
It means fuck all. None of them will win the cup. We'll just insult the other fans until the weather is warm enough to go outside, or we get really bored.
Still, very Grinchy k-dough.
ALLT: they are the teams' positions in the current league standings as I thought I indicated clearly above.
Pam- Oh c'mon they're only numbers. You admitted as much yourself. Besides 21st place in a league of 30 isn't that bad for a team from such a small city with serious financial troubles.
dgi,
It's 9:45 am so even I'm not drunk enough to think Ottawa will win the cup this year. I'm a Sens fan, so the only thing I'm willing to bet is my autographed Patrick Lalime card.
where is chucker? I bet he will have a hard time dealing with his personal feelings about this post.
I manage my feelings just fine.
First, Harper's Leafs love is the only misguided part of him.
Second, the only hockey stick Dion knows comes out of the global-warming fund-raising industry.
Third, they are running presidential elections in France next year, not legislative. So, K-Dough meant "President Dion".
Pam,
I'll take your card if you're willing to take mine.
It's a nice shot of the Pocket Rocket; Montréal's Captain Henri Richard, in 1971. Accompanying him is Lord Stanley's Mug- having just been captured by the feared Habitants des Montréal, for a then record 17th time.
It's a great card! I won it as a door prize and have loved it since.
So, deal or no deal?
Obviously, K-doughs post features the misguided slurs of a bitter, old hab and liberal lover. Face it, your time has past!!! You're finished!!! The Conservatives are in power and the Leafs are Canada's team. It's all good........
uhhhh. The Habs are Tories too. The only Liberal friendly hockey team are the Ottawa "unelected" Senators.
Forever blue, face it it's a completely plausible scenario: that Stephane Dion as the Right Honourable Prime Minister of Canada may be with the Hab's in Montréal celebrating with them their league-crushing 25th cup this coming spring.
Now picture Stephen Harper going up Yonge Street in Toronto with the cup: the plausible scenario here is he stole it from the HHOF and is in the getaway phase of the "parade"!
Canadians will not be bluesers for long dude. In the coming New Year, a warm red tide will be sweeping the nation...
You can bet on that baby.
CC: re: The Habs are Tories too.
Sacre bleu!!!! Are you trying to kill me with heartache? There is a lot more rouge on those jerseys than bleu dude!
Forever blue: due to a lack of oxygen in the system. A common feature in a corpse and, I guess, the "true blue" Leaf's fan.
CC, we're ALL Hab fans! Some need help though, and we're here to help you. Just have to start with Step One: admit it to yourself. After that the next eleven steps will flow like a warm red tide.
Eh, so I'm slow ... but my work is poor. I'll do community service to make up for it.
Update on Current overall league standings (NHL.com; 11:57AM):
5 MONTREAL

Quotable Habs:
"I am a big advocate for income-splitting" -S Koivu
"I believe the federal government should respect provincial jurisdictions" - C. Huet
"Ultimately, all Liberals do is make spending announcement then walk away from the problems. They don't give a shit about anything but their own publicity. They act like parasites on social ills, using them to score points, not solve problems." - Mr. Kovalev.
Wow. Tory, tory, tory.
Chucker,
Wow indeed. I KNEW you were a Hab fan!
Nice progression.
I quit watching the NHL when the Jets were ripped out of the heart of the 'Peg. I only go to games now when I get free tickets to corporate boxes where I can practice my sneering at the unwashed.
that being said, I am totally looking forward to camping out on the couch next week with a six pack of mimosas and leftover turkey sandwiches for the World Juniors.
Go Leafs Go!
Cheering for the TMLs is a very sad form of self-flatulation.
DGI-
You're on. It's a deal, baby.
Cc. I can't believe you actually track those quotes. You should see a doctor about that dude!
Anon above is me k-dough commenting from my BB!
Sheena- 6 pack of mimosas...LOL!!!
uhhhh. everyone knows I made those absurd up, right?
quotes.
oooh cc- drunk already? me too!!!!!!!
already? Or still?
its christmas. what's the point if we can't be pickled the whole week long starting at noon today.
damn straight!
Finally, we can all agree on something.
I'm going to go find my Trailer Park Boys Xmas Special RIGHT NOW because I need to get into the right spiritual frame of mind.
I'm a day ahead of you sheena. I've already reminded myself that Christmas is best drunk and stoned in jail, not with your family.
if you want to have sex during the holidays that is your best bet...
K, you are breaking my heart here by discussing my beloved leafs in not a very good way if I may say. By the way the Habsolutelyblasphemies are not going to win the cup either.
Chucker, Koivu is finnish and Huet is french so you get the rest.
K, Pam and Leather, merry christmas.
Joanne- green-eyed jealousy doesn't suit you sweetie.
what Koivu is finnish? and Huet is what? I thought they were from Grand Remous.
K, not jealousy but just undying love for my favourite team.
Dont think the PM ever gives out the Cup. He's too impartial!
The frickin commisioner gives out the cup every year and people are supposed to BOO him. But that last 2 cups were givin out in places that didnt even know that custom!
