The Toronto Maple Leafs are in an unenviable situation.
Basically, every time they don’t blow the doors off a team, they’ve got to listen to the critics who are still aghast at how the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to go their own way in a league that normally has the inventiveness and ingenuity of an Old Navy commercial.
And when they don’t get it done, as like last night, the knives come out.
Is the NHL a salary cap league that has nearly 100% parity, and is the NHL not a league where the worst team will still beat the best team 35-40% of the time?
