The Toronto Maple Leafs lost a coin-flip game on Saturday, but so what?
When the Toronto Maple Leafs have to play the Boston Bruins, it is not a “test” and that game wasn’t more important than any other one, except in the ridiculous narrative machine that is the Toronto Media.
Every time the Leafs play a good team it’s so annoying to hear people talk about it being a measuring stick or a whatever other annoying cliché they use. Yes, it’s exciting when the two best teams go up against each other, but as was extremely clear from watching the game, neither of these teams has a significant advantage over the other.
