I feel that the Current Toronto Maple Leafs Management plays the Lionel Hutz Route like a Trombone in saying No, Experience Necessary. I'd feel for as much as Hockey History is at their Door and Doorsteps, it has been an exercise in frustration in having to Catch Paint on Banners People Worked Hard For, and having to pawn those banners Years Later to keep from selling the team.
The joke would be funny if it where Classic Simpsons, but the Current Leafs have had their chances to be prepared and they come in with a Comb and look greasy as ever. The Maple Leafs would be the Iowa of Professional Hockey where they'd go because there is nothing better and they'd gripe about the lack of effort.
The Milhouse Ethic is so lauded it feels like it is a Culture. Even though Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is not and will not be Crusty Old Harold Ballard, but the Ghosts of Alan Eagleson and Harold Ballard haunt Scotiabank Center.
If Auston Matthews was traded to the Coyotes, no one on both sides of the ledger would be happy. But, Leaf it to the Leafs, they'd pull the trade to the Worst Team in Ice Hockey like the Charlie Brown Gag got crueler and crueler.
I would feel like the Maple Leafs would have the courage either to make a Management Change or it would get worse.
