Ok, I have a confession to make these years later. I was secretly cheering for David Ayres when he came in as an emergency backup

Please forgive me Leaf fans. :sarcasm::razz::scared:

I remember when JT waltzed in the zone and haphazardly just shot it through him (while he was wearing blue pads). Looked like it was going to get very ugly for the poor guy.

But it didn't, so good for him. Hell of a story.

I know I was laughing and my wife was angry (she isn't a Leafs fan), then Leafs scored right away. That goal actually made his victory a little sweeter because everyone was probably thinking "alright, well, he is gonna get lit up, what can you do"?

Then Canes were going hard to the Leafs net, Andersen was sub-par and the Canes D was relentless. I'll never forget Brind'Amours face after he heard that he was 42 years old when he was on the bench even before he took the ice lol.

I didn't care if Leafs won, I'd rather the great story. 40 Years to the day from The Miracle On Ice.

One of the worst moments as a fan. Not as bad as losing to Montreal but it's right there. Surreal moment, but now I'm used to these losers' lack of competitiveness. But worse than that we now know that the ownership is even more gutless than the players.

Having been a goalie who practiced with Leafs alumni, and a fan of the underdog in general, I was rooting for him to do well (at the same time rooting for the Leafs to win).

I don't know, man. That game was pretty damn frustrating. Not as frustrating as that 6-shot elimination game against the trap-era Devils, but not too far behind.

I didn’t want him to get blown out but I wanted us
to win but the clowns couldn’t even do that.
A total embarrassment and humiliation of this group and here we are all these years later win not more to success

At the time? f*** no I wanted a 10-4 win where Matthews dropped 4G’s on him

Looking back? Yea it’s a neat story so it’s fine

Embarassment only lasts long enough, and I/we are used to it.

At the time I wasn't happy the Leafs lost but it was just one regular season game so really no big deal. Besides, a half-game fluke with one team motivated to play like demons isn't the most unlikely thing ever to happen and it was a nice story about a guy who was actually an employee of the Leafs.

I've never felt any embarrassment over it and compared to all the playoff losses it doesn't even register.
