I probably wouldn't be a very, very happy fan going into the playoffs with Joey MacDonald backstopping and Rafalski in the press box, but I'm a Leaf fan so I know fuck all about playoff hockey anyway I think Windsor might be the last stronghold for this rivalry, there was a brawl in the stands last night which included somebody wearing 17 blue.
Milbury has to be a shoe-in for when Don Cherry is through, I can't imagine there's anyone who can draw up comparable amounts of ire among players and fans.
Yeah I heard about that fight in the stand from a bunch of people who went to the game, friend of mine was a section over and a row down, so he got a good view of it, hopefully he got a picture or some video, but I'm quite sure the NHL has a policy about that >_>
Thankfully, Howard isn't going to miss much if any at all time on the ice, because I have ZERO Faith in Joey MacDonald, this isn't EHM where he racks up 65 wins a season in my farm, he's subpar at best.
And Windsor is for sure the last stronghold in this rivalry you could argue Chatham into this but I'd be fair to say that about 80% of Chatham are Leaf fans which makes Windsor that stronghold, so much shit was being talked on Facebook on how the Leafs were going to dominate because they've won the last 3 meetings, I'm pretty sure that guy was counting the pre-season as well, hasn't said dick since the Wings went up 3-2, Toronto needs a Cal-Stanford type miracle to make the playoffs, winning out and hoping Buffafo will lose every single game, which isn't happening, which leaves the Windsor Leaf fans, talking about how next year will be their year, much like they do every year and every year they predictably collapse when it starts to matter, was surprised that they started so well this year, everyone was hopping aboard the bandwagon, then they lost something like 10 straight or what have you and haven't been able to recover since.
Other than C-Heat, any other Windsor folk here?
