With the hatred of the Maple Leafs being a big part of our material here at the PrairiePuck, does the league really want another team to laugh at?? Let's review:
1. The Leafs are currently on pace for approximately a 14-27-41 record
2. The Leafs are a hotbed for incredibly mediocre players. Who are their stars? Jason Blake and Nik Antropov?
3. The Leafs have not won a Stanley Cup since 1967. (Speaking of which, "Happy 42nd birthday of being fucking terrible Toronto")
---I could really go on, but why??
Despite being a team that a toddler ministick team could beat, the Leafs do have incredibly loyal fans and they will sell out damn near every night, even if they are watching a House League quality hockey game. So does the league really think that fans will support another group of goons? I hate Toronto, but how wierd would it be to see a team from Toronto that doesn't wear blue?
The bottom line, Toronto doesn't deserve another franchise, no matter if Toronto is a good market for it. A more probable scenario would be a weak franchise like Nashville moving up to Kitchener/Waterloo or Hamilton, owned by Blackberry big shot Jim Balsillie. What are they going to be,
The Toronto JR. Maple Leafs?
The Kitchener-Waterloo Blackberries?
We at the Prairiepuck would rather see:
-a franchise in Las Vegas,
-5 more teams in California,
-the purple blur over the puck on Fox hockey broadcasts to make a comeback
- Pierre Maguire of TSN to ironically be beaten to death by a "Monster"
than another team to come out of T.O. If the league can make any of these happen as an alternative, we will be most pleased.
Sincerely,
The PrairiePuck
