Hockey Nerd Tuesday: O Canada, the Toronto Maple Leafs Suck

Hockey Nerd Tuesday is a weekly feature on NHL FanHouse that chronicles the stat-heads, gear geeks and fanboys (and girls) who spend an uncomfortable amount of time putting the "fan" in fanatic. Have a hockey nerd you'd like to see featured? E-mail Greg Wyshynski with the details.

Scrolling through the Toronto Maple Leafs section of FanHouse, one can plainly see that it hasn't been the kindest of years for the boys in the blue pajamas. They're practically in the basement of their division. They have a general manager who isn't allowed to fire his coach, and an owner who regrets hiring his general manager. They have a rookie who likes to photograph himself naked, and a defenseman who keeps getting undressed.

No, it hasn't been a banner year for a franchise that hasn't raised one worth a damn since 1967 ... but that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to take joy in raking the Leafs. Hockey Nerd Tuesday focuses on two puckheads whose hatred of Toronto knows no bounds -- not the fact that the Leafs aren't even playing in the game they're attending in Ottawa, not even the sanctity of the Canadian National Anthem. Check out the 53-second mark and beyond of this YouTube video, as the television cameras attempt (and fail) to censor the vulgar truth about the 2007-08 Maple Leafs.
