Hope we make them cry tonight...big hope with our teams history in the playoffs.

Taking the first 2 games would be a nice start for sure. I'd have said "at home" but the reality is no matter how many games the series goes every game will be a home game for the Leafs.

That point also drives Sens fans crazy. lol

True Wedgie Story Time (it's been a while since I did this):

Mid-1990s. Playoff time (can't remember the year or the team).

My soon-to-be wife and I exit Maple Leaf Gardens after a loss. The crowd was in a bad mood.

For those of you of a certain age: do you remember pouring out of the Gardens and onto Church Street? The crowd would completely take over the street - I always wondered who was dumb enough to drive near the Gardens after Leafs games.

Anyhoo, there was one drunken Leafs fan who was randomly trying to get into a fight - with anyone. Didn't matter what team you had cheered for.

He grabs some innocent guy. Innocent guy is terrified, tells him to let go, tussle starts, they are seperated, drunk guy charges him again. Innocent guy is so scared, he puts his keys in between his fingers. Drunk guy charges him, throws a few punches, innocent guy punches back, carving drunken guy's face to ribbons. Crowd surges, they get separated, innocent guy runs off.

Mrs. Wedgie and I decide to walk up to Wellesley subway station.

We get to Church and Wellesley, and drunken guy is there. He is a franking mess.

I try to be the nice guy. "Hey buddy, you're in really bad shape - let's get you to an Emergency room (there used to be a small one at Wellesley and Jarvis)."

Drunkie looks at me and says, "Are you the guy who hit me?"

Oh poop - I realize I'm wearing roughly the same outfit as innocent guy.

He grabs my tie and won't let me go, as he figures out if it was me.

At this point, his girlfriend (yeah, I know!) starts sobbing, telling him it wasn't me, I'm with my girlfriend, let me go.

He finally accepts it wasn't me.

I try one more time to put him in a cab to go to the emergency room for stitches, but he refuses, and not in a polite way.

So I figure I've tried my best to be a good Samaritan, I'm Audi 5000. We turn west on Wellesley, hit the subway, go home.

Somewhere out there in Leafs Nation, there's a guy with nasty scars on his face - a bad souvenir of a Leafs playoff loss at Maple Leaf Gardens.

I don't know if this is still true, but back in the early 1990s, before I had season tickets, I used to go stand in the lobby of Maple Leaf Gardens, starting at about 3:30 pm on game days.

Sometime between 4:15 and 4:30 pm, they would release all of the unwanted tickets by the away team - which were always greys in section 93.

It never failed.

I'm guessing the tickets they just released were for the visiting team.

Jesus!

He's probably the father or grandfather of one of the losers who was fighting other Leaf fans in the rink after the Leafs lost at home in game 7 to Tampa that one year.

Your stories are pretty terrific.

My best Leaf related one is from a playoff game the first year the Leafs finally made it back to the post season.

Game 1 and I'm feeling very little pain but my bladder is full of hurt and needs to be drained. It's mid 3rd period so I tell my wife I'm running down quickly, concessions are closed so it will for sure be quick!

I get out into the concourse in my Leafs gear including a blue and white wig and who do I see walking in a very unstable manner towards me but a short, overweight guy in a suit who is obviously hammered with another young guy who looks terrified trying desperately to keep him upright.

As I get a few feet away he drunkenly slurs his speech while saying "I love your outfit buddy, here have a flag" and hands me a full size Maple Leaf flag.

He then says "If I can ever do anything for you call me" and hands me his business card.

Rob Ford
Mayor of Toronto

The poor young guy looks terrified and says something like Mr Mayor we need to go now before the game lets out. Ford clearly does't want to go but agrees eventually and they wander to the elevator where this poor young guy can't hit the elevator call button fast enough.

Elevator dings and the Mayor is waving at me like a 3 year old at a Santa Claus parade saying "bye buddy GO LEAFS GO" at the top of his lungs.

I laughed so hard I nearly cried. My wife didn't believe the story as I told it when I got back to my seat until I handed her the business card.

See this is my concern.

Going to a Leafs playoff game is high stakes gambling. A lot of money for an exerience that is going to extremely up or extremely down.
