So much for Toronto being a sophisticated hockey market. The so-called fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs are out for blood and facts be damned.
You can’t blame the fans, as most of the media covering the Toronto Maple Leafs were clearly waiting for the team to stumble so they could throw out their ice-cold, eight-year-old grievances about how this team is built, and how it’s a “failed experiment.”
Oh I’m sorry, was Ryan O’Reilly not exactly what you had in mind when you said this team needs leadership, defense, and to be tougher to play against?
