Shanny listens to his Leaf gut – Part III

“Brendan, I know you’re watching, President or whatever you are… You know how many Canadians the Leafs drafted this year? Zero… So who did they pick? They picked that little guy. We won’t say who. Then they sent him back to Sweden, to save his life…They pass on a guy, Nick Ritchie, 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, 100 minutes in penalties… What they need are big, tough wingers. They don’t need a little, wee forward… They’ve made the playoffs once in fourteen years and they draft U.S. college guys and a Swinn and a Fede… That’s why the Leafs are like they are & will be for a long time.
