Eddie! Eddie!
Ed Belfour pretty much singlehandedly beat the Ottawa Senators last night. Andrew at Ottawa Senators Fanblog has a good recap of the game.
The Leaf fans were in the hundreds, as opposed to the thousands, at the Corel Centre last night and that might have prevented a lot of the garbage that typically happens at the Corel Centre when Toronto is in town. However, there are still plenty (though probably not a majority) of Leaf fans who (justifiably) create the perception that their fanbase to be the worst behaved in the NHL.
For example, in my section there was one Leaf fan that decided to yell a lengthy string of profanities at no one in particular for no apparent reason before the start of the game. Another Leaf fan, again in my section, yelled out repeated requests for oral sex in vulgar terms after Mats Sundin scored. Since the Corel Centre is supposed to be a family friendly environment and there were kids nearby, I hope neither of these "fans" are back for game 4. I suspect that if there were two in my small section, there were probably lots more around the building.
