Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I don't love this team.


Don't get me wrong, I love the Toronto Maple Leafs, I always have and I always will, but I don't love this team, this assortment of players, this management team, this coaching staff, none of it.
That isn't to say I do not like this team. I'd even go as far as to say I am in like with this team, but we had a rough summer and the spark is missing.

I was in love with this team last year, during the playoffs I was head over heals in love with them. We laughed, we cried, we danced in the rain during the good times and we cried on each others shoulders during the end.

Then IT happened. The offseason. You all know the moves, the contracts and the buyouts and you all probably follow me on twitter so you know how I feel about them so I won't drone on and repeat what has been said (again), but I will say this, the Toronto Maple Leafs broke my heart with what they did in the off season and I am not ready to love again, at least not yet. I will grow to love them one day again, I am sure, but I need time.

A wise man once told me "I cheer for laundry" and it's true, I will always cheer for that jersey, but don't expect me to be happy about what's inside it 100% of the time.

And that's all I got to say about that
