THOSE GUYS: NUCKS MISCONDUCT
The Maple Leafs lost to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night, and no, the world did not end, some people just acted like it did.
Despite winning their previous six games, this loss to Calgary was it. Will a loss to the Canucks cause just as much stress to Maple Leafs fans?
Vancouver is losing games all over the place while they try to rebuild themselves into a respectable team without doing a full rebuild. They’ve lost four of their last five games, they’re terrible, but hey, they made some great hires, so look at that not their record!
The Maple Leafs better beat these dorks,
Vancouver Canucks
The Leafs are 66-65-22-4 against Vancouver all time, with 533 goals for, and 519 against. It’s pretty even historically because they’ve both had long stretches of being terrible.
