Losing isn't something new to Toronto Maple Leafs supporters. Fans in this city have a pretty thick skin on that front.
Every now and then however we witness an event so gut-wrenchingly atrocious it
feels like we've just been bitch-slapped by our dream girl. Boston
presents the model for the type of team Brian Burke promised to build upon his
arrival in T.O. as G.M., but last night's 8-0 demolition was a true measuring
stick for how far Toronto is from truly competing. The Bru-Tang Clan is
big, strong, skilled, and wicked nasty. The Leafs can't be typified by any of
those traits. The difference is one team are reigning Stanley Cup champs, and
one team is heading for another off-season of heavy rebuilding.
