The Stanley Cup drought has reached 30 years in the True North Strong and Free, with no end in sight.
As of this writing, we’re left with three Sun Belt teams and two expansion teams — one of them the Seattle Kraken, a team that has yet to celebrate its second birthday.
Outside of southern Ontario, most Canadians would rather see the Kraken or the Golden Knights win it than the Maple Leafs. Edmonton had the best shot this year, with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid at their brilliant best, but they were undone by that gaping hole at the back. It’s so bad in Toronto that some fans are pushing for the return of Mike Babcock, which would be like pouring kerosene on a barn fire. Babcock isn’t the solution, but until management is willing to break up that entitled core, there is no solution — and the entire team structure is probably too corporate for massive changes.
Enjoy. Or better still — fire up the barbecue, hit the golf course and forget it until October, when the sport returns to a country where it actually matters.Article contentBy now, everyone has seen Alex Pietrangelo’s vicious slash on Draisaitl. It was a blatant, unprovoked attempt to injure. Draisaitl could have suffered a broken arm, broken ribs or worse.
