The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't really as bad as they've looked this week. In fact, their recent run of poor play has actually been a clever ruse orchestrated by yours truly. Why would I do such a thing? One reason: If I have to hear or read one more 'plan the parade' joke, I'm gonna lose it. Realizing I was getting close to my wit's end, I, uh, "borrowed" the PPP company credit card, waived it in front of Richard Peddie, and here we are. So for those of you out there who are starting to worry...relax. The real Leafs will be back before you know it.
