It’s not hard to see why. From 2006-17, both the Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs were the NHL’s equivalent of the ginger kid from Cheaper by the Dozen. You know, the one who gets ignored by his entire family and ends up making irrational, emotional decisions just to get attention? I think his name was Mark or something.
Honestly, I tried to find the clip where he runs away from home like an idiot, but it literally does not exist on YouTube. Classic Mark.
Anyway, this past summer, the Oilers were faced with a challenging set of personnel decisions that, in two years, the Leafs inevitably will be as well.
