But its a Toronto team, its only a matter of time before it breaks everyone's heart

I think that only works for hockey.

Certainly the Argos have won multiple Grey Cups, the Blue Jays won a couple of World Series wins back in the day...

The Raptors is the only Toronto team I can really cheer for, even tho it's really weird.

I watch a lot of NBA, it's fun to finally see some success & not ending in a disappointing sweep at hand of LeBron.

I have to admit this Raptors run has increased my interest in the NBA.

Now, on a ten point scale it's gone from a 1 (complete indifference) to a solid 2 (mostly indifferent), but I am aware that the series is split at 1 game apiece, and that someone named Kahwi Leonard plays for the Raptors.

And what exactly have they won?

*googles*

Ah, they did win the MLS and some other stuff.  Then yes, that also reinforces my point.

Anyone still in denial that there will be a parade down Yonge Street shortly?

Went out last night. Friends invited me so wasn't pure bandwagoning. The atmosphere was really fun. So many people.

Lots of happy people in my hood. At  work, we will serve a free breakfast Monday because of the win.

That was a pretty ugly game for TO and the players had an off shooting night too. What were the fans thinking when they cheered the injury?

They thought it was hockey. at least they cheered after for him. Still, not a good showing.

Keep the NBA talk in the NBA thread!

Game 7 of the finals is tomorrow...

Wait, hockey is still going on?

It. Never. Stops.

Sadly, it does stop.  After the finals, we then roll right into the NHL draft on June 21, then free agent frenzy on July 1.

But after July 1, there's nothing going on in the world of hockey till September, when rookie training camps start opening up.

Unless you play summer rec hockey like me, then it truly never stops.

From a recent song by English proggers Marillion, and a song called Montreal

...

And inside the steel-glass building I gazed up to the trapeze
The building 30 metres tall, we watched the acrobat fall
He was quite safe
He was falling into Montreal

Down at the sports bar, the Ice Hockey never ends
Down at the sports bar, the Ice Hockey never ends

So up in my room I discovered Leonard Cohen on TV
Live in London, ain't that perfect symmetry?
It warmed the heart to watch him float around the hall
Soaking up, reflecting, radiating
Just as I would tomorrow night on the outstretched tender hands, tender hands, tender hands
Of Montreal ...
