It was unanimous amongst TSN's hockey experts, after losing 7 - 1 to the Hurricanes, Leafs were going to miss the playoffs. One by one the all said how bad the Leafs were and how they needed drastic changes to right the ship. Glen Healey looked like he was gonna cry! Bob McKenzie went home and ate three tubs of ice cream! James Duthie was placed on suicide watch.
It was over for the Leafs, atleast in thier minds. The had lost so bad that the whole year was in jeopardy. They all talked about how Toronto missed the playoffs last year by one point. This game was this years one point in thier minds. Fire Freguson, trade Sundin, send Kubina to the minors, tell Maurice to take a hike! The experts had all the answers. Then two nights later the Maple Leafs crush the Islanders 8 - 1. The smiles returned to the Hockey Central crew. Healey acted like he knew this was gonna happen, McKenzie put down his spoon, and Duthie felt like he could live again. The point of the matter is that the TSN broadcasters need to realize that they are not on "The View" and keep thier emotions in check. The Leafs will lose games this year, sometimes even get blown out, thats no reason to spend twenty minutes crying on national television. No team is out of it in October, well maybe Phoenix. No Canadian team is out of it in October. Its a long season TSN broadcasting team so your gonna have to learn how to accept the fact the Leafs are going to lose games. Take a deep breathe and remember, no one likes a poor sport. And no one likes four of them crying to each other on national TV. The Leafs are Not Axel Rose, they have a decent chance of doing something good in the next year!
