All my life I've been a huge anti-Leafs fan. 10 years ago when so many people I knew were all Dougie Gilmour, Andreychuk, Clark, Potvin, etc. I was always "leafs suck", and even going so far to call them the "Toronto Paki Beefs".
Now that the Leafs have some of my favorite players - Francis, Nieuwendyk, Nolan, and OHL team hero Roberts, I've found myself cheering for them unless they are playing Ottawa or something.
Basically, starting late last year when I thought of how '93 was our last Canadian franchise cup, and '94 the last time a Canadian team played for the cup, I started cheering for all Canadian teams.
So the way I see it, the Leafs are no way close to being one of my favorite teams, but if they win the cup, I cannot complain.
