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.
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!
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.
Seeing as I was born in the early 70's and the Leafs have never come close to winning the Stanley Cup in my lifetime it goes without saying that I had always hoped the time would come to where I could watch and experience my first Leafs Championship with my father, sadly he passed away in 2013!
Don't be so quick to brush off the experience as the opportunity may never come again!
I'd like to say I'll be at Maple Leaf Square but most likely I'll be at home watching the game with my kids. That's definitely something I'd want to share with them. We'll be down there for the parade though.
I'll probably blubber like an idiot too.

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