Although tonight's Leafs game, the last of the year, means absolutely nothing as they fail to qualify for the playoffs, there is a silver lining in this dark cloud. If there is a God, Aki Berg will be playing his last game as a Maple Leaf.
A few years ago during the off season, I swore that I'd never watch another Leafs game as long as Jyrki Lumme was on the team. What a bum! Thankfully he never played another game as a Leaf. This year I make the same promise. If Aki Berg is still on the Leafs' roster come October, the team will be minus one fan.
Of the many prospects currently playing with the Marlies, any one of them will be an upgrade. Can you believe that Berg was drafted 3rd overall by Los Angeles in 1984? He's not the only one who stunk the joint out this year but I've had it with him.
Here's a look at Berg's stats as a Leaf ... don't let the door hit you on the way out.
325 games > 10 goals > 24 assists
P.S. Domi ... you might be next on my list.
