so it looks like our toronto maple leafs are off to another atrocious start...
i'm beginning to lose hope! after dropping 2 to ottawa and being completely embarrassed by carolina 7-1 on tuesday night, things are not looking good. the cries of "shaky goaltending", "horrid defense", and "sluggish offence" can be heard all around, echoing the cries from previous uninspiring seasons...
AND, not to sound cold-hearted, it seems we may have bought ourselves another useless player! new winger jason blake just announced he was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. they say it's totally treatable and he says he's going to strive to be the same 40-goal player the leafs hired but it's gotta really take it out of him. he's entitled to be sad, to have some down-time, to not feel like himself... it's asking too much for him to just plow through this and pretend like nothing's different. face the facts - we're going to have to take some decrease in production from him over the next little while. in the end, i wish him a full and speedy recovery and i hope the leafs can find a way to pull up their socks, fill in for their ailing teammate, and find the missing spark for the rest of the season.
