Forty years ago tonight, on May 2, 1967, Jim Pappin scored the winning goal as the Leafs defeated the Canadiens 3-1 for their 13th Stanley Cup victory and fourth in the last six years. As you may have heard, the Leafs haven't won since.
Humble referenced the 40 year drought on his blog this morning, and followed that up with a call to rub it in. Freddie P. wrote about it as well. People are coming up to me in the office to throw it in my face. Yes, I'm aware it's been 40 years since the Leafs won the Stanley Cup and yes, I'm aware today is the anniversary.
I'm 32 years old. In my lifetime we haven't been to the finals, yet every fall I back this team and dream of a championship. I once wrote God and asked Him what He has against my Leafs. I never heard back. 40 years, 40 tears...
