The Toronto Maple Leafs

Can you imagine the yuks and preening the entire NHL – not just Coyotes fans – would have to suffer through if the Toronto Maple Leafs won the lottery?

They would have a 20% chance of that happening if the season ended today.

It’d be like that co-worker that always mismanages his subordinates and talks about “how we used to do it at my old job” as an excuse for failing…and then that guy suddenly gets promoted to head of the department while you and your peers bury your faces in your palms.

It would be insufferable.

The lone redeeming quality of the Leafs acquiring Auston Matthews over the Oilers is the fact that Toronto seems to have stabilized it’s management and implemented a sound rebuilding process.

Matthews may be the building block that the Toronto Maple Leafs use to acquire their first Stanley Cup since 1966-67.

That sounds cool for Auston but it’s not something I want to see as an Arizona Coyotes fan.

What about that other Canadian team with the kid named Johnny and the other guy? Boring Sean Monahan?
