Conspiracy Theory!
I found one Toronto Maple Leafs fan's take on the 'Hockey Night In Canada' theme rather amusing. Noting that the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup in 1967 and that Doris Clayman's 'Hockey Night in Canada' theme began being played one year later in 1968 - this tune was no doubt jinxing the franchise. He firmly believes that with it's replacement, the 'Maple Laughs' are bound to take Lord Stanley's cup in the 2008-09 season.
..........we'll see......
(and yes Jesse Joe, this ol' fogey remembers watching the original six - better hockey!)
