So the Blackhawks win and end the longest Cup drought in the league, then the Bruins win and their 40-year drought, now the Kings win the first Cup in their 40+ year history. Surely this means the Leafs are due, right? Right?! *crickets*

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
