Who's Our Muldoon?

nhl

I was just reading about the Curse of Muldoon.  The Blackhawks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 and they're blaming Pete Muldoon and a curse he put on the club back in 1927.  That's their excuse for having the longest cup-less drought in NHL history.  Guess who's #2?

The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't won it all since 1967, but where's our curse?  I suppose we could blame Harold Ballard who assumed sole control of the team in 1971, but that's not really a curse.  That was mediocre management, which is a curse of sorts, but not nearly as sexy as the Curse of the Bambino or the Curse of the Billy Goat.

We're a season away from hitting the big 4-0.  Only the Blackhawk faithful have it worse, but at least they know they're cursed.  We've just stunk.
