Humor, or humour?

Half the fun in being a Buffalo Sabres fan is the ability to rib buddies who, for reasons beyond by pea-sized brain's ability to comprehend, blindly pledge their allegiance to the Toronto Maple Loafs. In my case, it's Al, Hound Central 5.0's Toronto-based correspondent.

After the Loafs won their first game of the season Monday night, I couldn't help but "congratulate" him on the team's feat, sending an e-mail with a "Leafs win! Leafs win! Leafs win!" subject:

Puckhound: Just wondering whether there was rioting in the streets of Hogtown last night?

Being an affable fellow, he played right along, offering this gem:

Al: Stanley Cup tickets went on sale today!

God, I hope he's kidding. Given the Loafs' ability to pack the Air Canada Centre, despite decades of disappointment and the club's dismal start this season, maybe he wasn't. Loafs fans, I must admit, are a loyal lot.
