dear the toronto maple leafs,

you should all be benched. every single one of you. except maybe for wellwood, who played very, um, well tonight. ha.

but the rest of you? honestly. disappointing passing (hi, exactly who was that pass to, because those people in the blue shirts AREN'T ON YOUR TEAM!), sloppy skating, and just overall being a non-cohesive team. seriously. you guys have 17 games left til the end of the regular season, and you need like, 25 points to make it to the playoffs. you HAVE to step it up. either that, or just cut your losses and stop trying altogether. but at least let us KNOW you've stopped trying. its much better than having that be the giant pink elephant in the room that no one's allowed to talk about.

also, the third period is MUCH TOO LATE to start to ACTUALLY PLAY HOCKEY. especially when you're down 4-0. ESPECIALLY THEN.

so come on. either step up, or.....nevermind, just fucking step up already.

sincerely,
melissa

ps: tonight's leafs effort reminded me of the canadian mens olympic team. know what they had in common? PAT QUINN. YOU ARE SPENT. YOU CANNOT COACH EFFECTIVELY ANYMORE. PLEASE RETIRE IMMEDIATELY, OR AT LEAST GET BEAT UP AGAIN, BECAUSE AT LEAST THEN YOU WERE HILARIOUS TO LOOK AT.

also, i think JFJ should be sacked too. we made ONE TRADE? a 34 year old defenceman for a 36 year old defenceman? thats like taking your 2004 automobile and trading it in for a 2002. ITS JUST NOT DONE.

geezus.

thats a giant PUCK YOU to the whole team. including pat quinn. including JFJ. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. - posted by me @ 6:49:00 PM --
