Do you have any plans for WHEN the Leafs make the finals / win the cup?

[Kamiccolo]

I know we usually do these types of threads talking about TDL rituals or draft rituals. I am wondering if you have ever thought about how you will celebrate or if you just won't care?

For me, I have a "Cup fund" going, where I am saving so much money each month. Eventually, I plan to fly out to Toronto (Native was born and raised but moved as an adult out east) to catch a game in the finals if I can, if not I'd be happy outside with the rest of the fans.

Then I plan on staying there, going to various bars and taking part in all the things in the city. If we win, I plan on partying and being there for the parade before coming back home.

What about you guys? Will you throw a party? Have a massive heart attack and get sent to Robidas island? Streak naked down your neighborhood?

I've seen some interesting ones, such as people promising to get married once the Leafs win the cup etc.

Other than a tattoo, no.

I do want to go the cup parade. As long as I go to one playoff game during their run, I'd be pleased. I live far away from YYZ now unfortunately.

 

[Cor]

Probably drink too much.

Probably yell at people who are being negative.

Try and get to a game, or at the very least, outside the ACC

Go to Vancouver and riot

Seems kind of like figuring out how to spend your Lotto 649 winnings before the draw has even happened.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Unless you're in the "elite" with insanely good connections it's laughable to think you're getting your hands on a SCF ticket in Toronto through any "Cup fund".

My goal would be to be in the city to celebrate with Leafs Nation.

 

[ACC1224]

Depends how old I am. I was in the Dome in 93 and went crazy with everyone else but I was only 28 at the time.

Hopefully it's a home game and I need to fight my way out of The ACC.

I had tickets to the Final many times including last season. Leafs never met me there though.

Or he just saves up enough and buys it on stubhub. Single tickets can be found even in the most intense of events

 

[93gilmour93]

I would head down to toronto around game 4-5 of the series and would hang out at maple leafs square for a few games. I would have to at least be in the city with all my fellow crazy leafs fans.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Depends on when. The longer it takes the more likely I'll be at the ACC. If it takes really long I'll be on the ice as an apparition.

 

[Jack Bauer]

It could get into 4 or 5 figures for a single ticket.

Most of "the most intense of events" would pale in comparison to Toronto for a SCF.

Normal people aren't just going to be buying tickets on stubhub like it's a Thursday night vs Florida.

 

[Once]

Well I will be living close to T-dot during their run, so as long as I am in the city. The positive vibes would be incredible and electric.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Making sure my drug stash is substantial. Not watching it with annoying family members who find it necessary to make derisive comments at any opportunity and scream SHOOT at annoyingly critical moments.

Sorry dad , you're cut.

 

[93LEAFS]

Not to end up in the drunk tank for my antics down Yonge Street.

On a more serious note, watch it with very close family and friends, who I can trust not to ask me anything stupid. Anyone who has trouble grasping concepts like off-sides or any penalty is cut.

 

[67Cup]

I've thought about this seriously. If I am still alive when the Leafs win the Cup (at my age this is not being morbid but realistic) I'll go visit my father's grave. Dad grew up on a homestead in Saskatchewan and in the dirty thirties listened with his father every Saturday night to Foster Hewitt broadcasting from Maple Leaf Gardens. I grew up hearing him tell stories about the Leafs of that era, King Clancy, Red Horner, Charlie Conacher etc, players he never actually saw in their day. The magic of old radio! We watched the 60's Cup winners together and he was furious when Stafford Smythe and Harold Ballard fired Punch Imlach. He wrote a letter of support and sympathy to Punch that was so touching that Mrs. Imlach kept it and returned it to me twenty five years later. Dad was a fine Christian gentleman and rarely spoke ill of people. Harold Ballard was an exception.

Now, I don't believe his spirit is hovering around the grave or anything like that, but it will give me pleasure to doff my Leafs cap and say, "Dad, Harold Ballard is long gone and the Leafs finally won the Cup!"

And if I am gone by then, I hope one of my sons will do the same for me.

I overheard my older son tell stories about his childhood and he included the line, "Dad never yelled at us, just the Leafs." That's worth a visit!

Totally awesome. Thanks for sharing that.

That was a nice read.

Being born in the late 60's, I would probably finally release a flood of emotions built up during decades of being a fan. The distress, fear, helplessness, guilt, shame and anger would all come out. After months of this, hopefully my family will see to it I get help.
I will be diagnosed with Leaf-related PTSD. I will start smoking marijuana to control the symptoms. I will buy a Mitch Marner jersey and tie-dye it. I will start growing my own vegetables.

 

[Goonface2k14]

I'll head to the parade wearing a 1987 Allan Bester #30 replica Leaf jersey, holding up a sign that reads "Be-Leaf", because that was how and when it all first started for me.

Do you think Babs would say if? Hell no, I think the lot of you need to learn how to be real guud pro's and expect success.

okay. but read what i was quoting to, and it would be obvious why I said if.

Ignore em, why they even bothered to reply I dont understand. Its a fun thread.

For me unfortunately I cant disclose anything for fear of certain agencies having a physical record of my plans but there would be fun..... And chaos in other fanbases. No riots, but fun.
