The meta-discussion surrounding Chicago's Stanley Cup win last night has been fascinating. Apparently when Chicago won, it meant that three teams had gone, what, 43 years without a Cup win.Those teams? Los Angeles and St. Louis, who were expansion teams in '67. And the third?
Hmmm... 1967 rings a bell for some reason. Yep that's right -- the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Apparently the Maple Leafs now co-own the longest Cup-free drought.
Why is this fascinating? I mean, besides Maple Leafs fans being miserable, a condition they are well used to by now?
It is fascinating because the vast majority of "coverage" of this issue has been Maple Leafs bloggers and media complaining about how unfair it is that everyone is pointing it out.
