Pot ... meet kettle

Justin Trudeau is 'deeply disappointed' with the Montreal Canadiens for their choice of pick Logan Mailloux in the first round of Friday's NHL draft. Mailloux as you might be aware, has been under fire for having distributed photos of a sexual encounter with a young woman without her consent.

Not to justify Mailloux's extremely poor judgement. He was wrong. 

But is Justin Trudeau really the man to be passing judgement? Justin Trudeau - who was a full grown adult the many times he wore blackface and danced around? Justin Trudeau - who was a full grown adult when he groped a female reporter without her consent?

We as a nation voted that a full grown adult could say he was *sorry* for those egregious acts and still be our Prime Minister - but a seventeen year old who made a lapse in judgement should not be allowed to move past it to become a hockey player?

 Please. Give me a break.

The 43 KADRI -- At Kennedy Station

Last night in Scarborough . . .My kid's way of celebrating the Leafs making the playoffs.

Someone's choking

And I guess that would be us Leaf fans.

Nevertheless, there's no reason for us to lose faith in Ottawa's potential to blow it in the finals. After all, they came by this win on a cheat. If that rascal Comrie hadn't pulled that stunt and knocked the net off with about three minutes to go, the game wouldn't have gone to overtime. Buffalo would have won it right then and there.

I'm hoping for an Anaheim/Ottawa cup final and an Anaheim cup win.

For those of you who think I'm anti-Canadian for not cheering for the only Canadian team left in the playoffs:

Detroit has 8 Canadians
Ottawa has 14 Canadians
Anaheim has 19 Canadians

Should Detroit make it to the finals rather than Anaheim, I will justify cheering for Detroit because of my visceral hatred of the Senators.

At this time of year, it's less about being a Leaf fan and more about being an Ottawa hater. Yes, they have great players -- probably the best. But they also dive and cheat. Don't you be telling me that the Leafs do those things. I can't hear you.

I don't know what it is about Ottawa that makes my blood boil when they win. It isn't that I hate the city -- Ottawa. I've never even been there.

Maybe it's the red. Liberals are red. That must be it -- because there's just no way that it's sour grapes.
