ESPN should just stay away from hockey.

This joke of a list brought to you by the network that can't even cover baseball well. It's like they didn't even know the Leafs existed and just stuck them in the final shot at the last minute. I can think of 30 NBA teams and 32 NFL teams that would be trumped by even the worst NHL franchise for "fan relations."

Anybody that takes ESPN seriously should be shot. They already have a bullet in the head speaking in Rage Against the Machine terms so just finish them off.

They're only stating what those of us who are rational already know. The Leafs suck.

Your first mistake was reading a hockey story on ESPN. Your second mistake was taking offense to it. Your third mistake was sharing the link and increasing their page views. They got you hook, line, and you know the rest.

I didn't read it on ESPN. I don't think I've read anything on ESPN. It was on TSNs site, which is apparently affiliated with ESPN.

I only posted it cuz I hate the Leafs, and it wasn't to be taken seriously, as everybody knows ESPN knows shit about the NHL, or hockey in general.

Of course an American media wouldn't call an American franchise the worst in North America. As far as I'm concerned, the Maple Leafs aren't as worst as the Islanders.

Except they'd give up half their team to have JT.

So you've got JT. Your management refuses to surround him with any help. The Leafs will be ahead of the Isles once again soon. They'll try to do something about their sad state of affairs, whereas the Isles will not.
