So last night a strange thing happened. A good friend of mine randomly out of the Blue started singing a song that happened to feature a lot of Blue in it and I got this strange feeling of good omens that despite all odds the Toronto Maple Leafs season would not end tonight despite my own feelings before that moment and the general consensus from pretty much everyone else I knew as hockey fans who pretty much said the Leafs were toast. Wouldn't you know it the leafs went into Boston tonight and played a hell of a gutsy hockey game coming out victorious. Sure they are most likely just prolonging the inevitable but for one night anyway I can take solace in the notion that they have had a good season and its not over just yet. I can only hope the magic and support leading to the Leafs finally being a competitive hockey team again continues on Sunday night and that I find more good omens to fuel my gathering confidence that the leafs still have a chance. So make all the mothers that are part of Leaf nation proud Sunday night and setup a thrilling game 7 finale to the first Leaf playoff series in a long time. Go Leafs Go!
