Okay, Aaron, the Buds (that's the Toronto Maple Leafs to all you non-hockey
fans) beat the Habs (the Montreal Canadiens). Yes the Habs have had a few
rough years of late. But before you gloat, when was the last time the Buds
won the Stanley Cup? Let's see, was it 34 years ago? How many more Cups do
Les Glorieux have than the Leafs? Could it be around 24 to 11? (I've lost
count, but it's something like that).
Talk to me when the Maple Laffs win a cup!
