Congratulations Toronto Maple Leafs on Mathematical Elimination!
Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. As far as I’m concerned the season is over. Any wins that come at this point will simply be rubbing salt in the wounds, so I’m going to consider the season effectively finished as of today. We’d like to congratulate the team on a third straight year without a playoff appearance and some individual congrats are also in order.
To Mats Sundin, congratulations on sticking with your guns and doing what you felt was best for you.
To Paul Maurice, congratulations on guaranteeing a playoff appearance in the preseason. If you guarantee you still have your job next year you should see a similar accuracy rate.
To Bryan McCabe, congratulations on a season that reeks of mediocrity.
To Tomas Kaberle, congratulations on showing us all that you have the most accurate shot in the league, but simply choose not to use it in game situations.
To Andrew Raycroft, congratulations on going from starting goalie to the worst backup in the league. If there was an anti-Vezina you’d win it hands down.
To Vesa Toskala, congratulations on finishing the first of what should be many frustrating seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
To Kyle Wellwood, congratulations on working on your beer gut more than on your game.
To Jason Blake, congratulations on 15 goals, you only missed our hoped for total by about 25!
To John Ferguson Jr., congratulations on leaving such a poweful legacy with this team.
To Richard Peddie, congratulations on proving to the league you’re the most incompetent hockey executive there is.
To the entire Toronto Maple Leafs organization, congratulations on another year of leaving your fan base feeling fed up, unsatisfied and generally fucked.
Stumble it!
