FLARES IN THE FACE PEOPLE

I love the lame ignorance of Toronto Leafs hockey fans. I am by no means a hockey fan, I never played growing up and my interest in the sport lies solely in the incredible social pressure to be a Leafs fan living in and around Toronto.

You gotta love the gusto of a Leafs fan right now. Granted the team is playing well, in fact I even found tonights game (currently in the 2nd intermission) to be really interesting. So interesting to the extent that I have kept the game on mute in the background of the 9 other things I am entertaining myself with on my computer. I mean a top ten pass time is worth something I guess.

But seriously Leafs fans, the team has been in no contension all year, and it is you the fans who have not let me forget just how lousy and uninteresting they are. But two weeks til the playoffs, and the slim glimmer of possibility that the team my make the playoffs and WHAMMO, THE CUP IS OURS. I cant believe the bandwagon, flip flopped opinions that generate around hockey, and the incredible passion that two direct opposite trains of thought can stem out of one person over the course of a single winter.

But whatever, its hockey, so we have to love it right. Blagghhh, is anyone aware that the UEFA semi finals start in the next two weeks. You want to see devoted passion, watch european soccer clubs face off for club dominance on a european (world class) scale.

Last year AC Milan got pelted with flares in the wake of potentially losing out on the next stage of elimination play. FLARES IN THE FACE people, now that trumps any hockey fandamonium.
