1001: The Great Overreaction in Toronto: Leaf Fans Need To Calm Down
Manage episode 484258005 series 2501168
We discuss how hard it is to win the Stanley Cup, especially when there are eight equally excellent teams. In Toronto, it's harder because of the insane fan and media scrutiny. We get into the emotional rollercoaster of being a hockey fan and the absurdity of extreme reactions to cheering for a great team that doesn't win the Cup. We discuss the growing popularity of women's hockey, including the Ottawa Charge's success. Our conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we reminisce about the iconic sitcom Cheers and this week's passing of actor George Wendt.
