It's fair to say that Mike is more of a Toronto Maple Leaf fan than he is a hockey fan. Meaning, he will religiously watch the Leafs play, but as soon as they are done for the year so is Mike. If the Leafs aren't in the play-offs he has no real interest in the remaining games. Mike bleeds blue and white. He is a true hard core fan, faithfully watching games no matter how bad they are sucking and right now they are sucking huge. He's literally been a fan since birth.
Now for those of you who don't know, the Toronto/Montreal rivalry is probably Canada's premiere hockey rivalry. There is no way to be a Toronto fan and a Montreal fan, you have to hate one and love the other. That's just the way things are. By that logic Michael being a true blue Toronto fan wouldn't ever be caught dead in Montreal gear.
Or would he.......
Yes that would be Michael circa 1976. And yes he was wearing a Montreal shirt. And yes he does look quite happy about it.
thanks to Papa for the picture

I think Abby looks exactly like Mike. Mike doesn't wear sparkly shoes does he?
Hmmm, maybe he was the real inspiration for The Hockey Sweater.
Um, hello Abby circa 1976!
I recently saw some of my family's home videos and my brother is wearing all kinds of sports team garb that is now rather funny (and kind of blackmaily) ;)
Ooooooh...that's almost *mean*. Knowing how die hard the Maple Leaf fans are, you know you really ought to bury that picture forever, right?
Except he's kinda cute. Really cute :)

Suze - he does, on the weekends, but shhhh.. don't tell.
Karen - could be....
sognatrice - I know it's crazy isn't it. Although that mouth, Maya makes her mouth go the same way.
Heidi - yes they are die hard. Mike didn't even know this picture existed. His Dad found it just the other day and was kind enough to hand it over to me.
That face is priceless!
