The Leafs are in Boston tonight to take on the surging Bruins. Only two teams in the league are hotter over their last 10 games than tonight's opponent, probably because most teams literally fall asleep on the ice when they play the Bruins. The good news for the Leafs is that Boston recently lost 10-2 to the Washington Capitals. Even the lowly Leafs haven't surrendered 10 goals in a game this season - not even with Andy Raysoft in goal and Bryan McCabe potting goals into his own net.
So, I may or may not watch the game tonight. I don't know how Bruins fans can watch that shit all season. The Leafs play the Bruins 8 times per year and I come away from the games banging my head against the wall...unless of course I'm totally fucking wasted. A little light bulb just went off in my head: I am going to watch the game. I am going to watch the game drunk. Not just regular drunk, either; Hasselhoff drunk.
Problem solved.
Like manual labour, family Christmas parties, and sex with a fat chick, anything is tolerable when you're really, really wasted.
The Playoffs Pipe Dream
Believe all you want, but reality has to set in some time:
The 8th place Philadelphia Flyers are on pace for 91 points.
The 12th place Toronto Maple Leafs on pace for 82 points.
Thus, as of today, the Leafs need 24 points in their final 14 games to make the playoffs. More importantly, the Leafs have to be 10 points better than the Flyers over 14 games. Even a typical Leafs fan should be able to see that task is harder than Joe Bowen's arteries.
Bottom Line: The Leafs can't give up more than 4 of a possible 28 points until the end of the regular season (also known as the end of the Leafs' season).
