In 2002, the Toronto Maple Leafs were facing the Ottawa Senators in the second game of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Sens won the first game; so game 2 was seen as a must win for the Leafs. I watched every second of that game, hoping that my beloved Leafs would win. That game went to overtime. After one overtime period, the game was still tied, and I turned off the television. Why? Because it was my Easter, and I had to leave for church. I didn’t find out, until I heard on the radio on the way home, that the Leafs had won the game in the third overtime period. May my commitment to God never be questioned. I missed triple overtime! 🙂
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Montreal Canadiens in a win-or-die game sponsored by BetVictor; and of course, I have to go to church for Easter. 🙂
You missed a great game. Went well with matzah. I was also hoping that the Leafs would win, since I want my beloved Ottawa Senators to finally take them in a playoff series. 😉
Hard to cheer for a team that hires Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Pat Quinn. Although I want the Isles to lose so that NJ goes in with a win into the playoffs, I wouldn’t be upset if the Isles win this afternoon to eliminate the Leaves. Maybe there’s something about cheering for (or against!?) the Devils on Easter….
