Yeah and either way you come out of it wanting to hurl. I can only smirk at the Leafs losing again, blowing another lead to boot. The most entitled fan base in hockey, possibly in all of sports, is heading for a huge wakeup call. They can send as many of their players to the All-Star game as they please, it doesn't change the fact that they are a team without backbone. They're having a poor regular season by their standards and even less equipt at a playoff run. A top heavy team with guys inked to foolish contracts, and a prospect pool so shallow, you could wade in with bunny head slippers on without getting wet feet. They are headed for a crash down the standings in a season or two I'd wager. They'll never win another Stanley Cup, that I'd bet the farm on.
As for the Oilers. Painful to watch them on an 11 game run. It was much more amusing when Oil Country was having a meltdown at the start of the season. Surprisingly, it looks like they've been getting half decent goaltending on this stretch too. If I'm not mistaken, didn't they have somewhat of a shite middle portion to last year's campaign, before getting hot down the stretch? Still a lot of regular season left to play, so I don't want to get too arrogant here, but the Oilers don't scare me yet. I think there is still a fragile underbelly there. I wouldn't be thrilled to meet them in the post season, but I'd still fancy our chances at hurting them over the course of a series.
