Now that we know, I think the fans will respond differently.<BR/>2) Last season was awful. The last two games of the year against the Habs and Senators were a disgrace. Sundin didn't even play. His last game was March 29th, yet no one knew <I>then</I> that it might be the last time we saw him skate in the NHL. <BR/>I don't want to see him end his career like that. He desreves better and we deserve better.general borschevskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094251050850687883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028428008218063470.post-54616309523152725532008-07-22T10:15:00.000-04:002008-07-22T10:15:00.000-04:00Good post.

Well, it didn't turn out to be a real one, but the last home game before the deadline sure seemed like a swan song at the time.<BR/><BR/>And what happened? The suits at the ACC barely noticed. There was no ovation, no chants, no signs other than one or two "don't go"s. There was a smattering of applause at the end, and then everyone hustled for the exits so they could get a good seat at their favorite vinyard.<BR/><BR/>Would it really be any different next time? Leaf fans are among the best in the league, but the sad truth is that Leaf fans aren't the people who go to Leaf games anymore.Down Goes Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150805735008417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028428008218063470.post-7498038727866955542008-07-22T08:02:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:02:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments everybody!eyebleaf: the in...Thanks for the comments everybody!<BR/><B>eyebleaf</B>: the inspiration for this post was thinking about what Mats' last game might be like.
