Skills Crowd Electric
by FiveStarCO on 2009-12-07Air Canada Centre - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5Wow, What a fantastic outing, with the 18th annual Skills competition yesterday. The crowd was electric from the beginning and the wave that circled the lower bowl almost 10 times if not more was a moment to be a part of, watching some of the players on the ice join right in along with the wave was a humbling moment, the true fans were there…… I bleed the blue and white, from the TML tattoo on my shoulder, to all the Jersey’s hung with care, they give me/leafs nation something that can’t be explained, we are DIE hard fans with heavy hearts, we want this team so badly to win, but we just continue to grin………….. and bare it. So for anybody that is like me, then this is the event to go to, My friends and I will do it again next year. I went to a Ottawa, Toronto regular season game last year where we won 3-0 and it was the worst experience I had in my life, the fans at that game booed D.A #11 for Ottawa more than they cheered for there own team, I remember on a PK early in the first and the leafs cleared the puck and I started to give a cheer for there hard work and I stood alone, so needless to say I just kept my mouth shut from then on out. So again I say to the true blue, this is an event with a great price and a fantastic atmosphere, so for the 19th annual Skills competition next year lets make it an even better atmosphere, grab the children, the neighbours, and anybody who just flat out love’s there LEAFS, let’s blow the top off the ACC and remind them that generally the TRUE blue are sitting at home watching there games on T.V ………………. .
