Too bad no one likes a loser. There are no vintage Sonny Liston bobblehead dolls, no 1968 Baltimore Colts commemoration videotapes of the 1968 NFL Championship on eBay, and hardly anyone remembers who lost each of the Stanley Cup Finals of the 1980s.
The hometown Majors of Mississauga lost (again) to the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Memorial Cup Final today by a 3-1 scoreline. Two early Sea Dog goals in the first really put the issue beyond doubt for the 5000+ spectators in attendance. I suppose no one likes a loser, and when you beef up the team for one year and then have to blow it up for the NHL Draft or cap restrictions, the next thing to follow would be the hockey team.
Take it from me: Next year is the last year for the Majors in Mississauga, and maybe also for the Battalion in Brampton. No one likes a loser in this town, and since 1967 no hockey team in the GTA ever hit it big.
Congratulations Saint John Sea Dogs for winning this year's ultimate prize for junior hockey; we hardly knew ya.
