Notwithstanding my rant above, I do hope that the Leafs can keep Joseph next year. I also hope they trade Mogilny (1 point in 7 games and he deserves his salary? I don't think so.)
So, the Hurricanes can beat us up when we're crippled (Cujo w/broken hands, Mats with a broken wrist, our best defenseman (Yushkevich) out, etc.) Big deal. I still have my number 2 team to pull for (the Wings) although it doesn't look good for them either.
Still, if the Avs beat the Wings then I can always hope that Carolina's jet goes down in the Rockies and they all get killed. See - I'm a Leafs fan, and Leafs fans never give up hope.
