The last time....

Yes, I'm a little excited this morning, so pardon me if this post is wildly Leaf-centric.  But there's a reason for it....

The last time the Leafs made the playoffs, this guy was a rookie playing on a team known as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (does anyone out there remember when they were called that?)

The last time the Leafs made the playoffs, this guy was 15 years old and playing for a team called the Interlake Lightning.

The last time the Leafs made the playoffs, this guy had 5 more years to wait before he was signed to his first contract by Toronto.

The last time the Leafs made the playoffs this guy was playing Tier 2 hockey in Sweden for HC Orebro 90

The last time that the Leafs played a playoff game, it was this guys 15th birthday...

And this guy knocked them out of the playoffs on that day...

Damn you Roenick....

For those of you who don't know but are curious, the date of the last Leafs playoff game was May 4, 2004.

Damn, 9 years and 2 lockouts later, they're back in.

Leafs Nation is behind you guys!!  Yes, I'm excited dammit, I haven't had anything to cheer for in the last 9 years.

thanks for reading, Robert
