It goes without saying that the Arizona Coyotes organization envies the attention paid to the high-flying Toronto Maple Leafs despite their season not quite going according to plan. I’m referring to the Leafs plan, as we know that the Coyotes haven’t yet revealed a plan. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Arizona Coyotes are on polar opposites of the NHL’s spectrum. By that I mean while the heretofore “we walk on water” Leafs are getting roasted as disappointing, underachieving losers in Ontario and throughout hockey-obsessed Canada by getting beaten by the Montreal Canadiens in a 7-game series, the Coyotes landscape is currently as barren as the desert between Phoenix and Yuma.
The Arizona Coyotes would welcome the attention the Toronto Maple Leafs are getting, especially if it’s for losing a playoff series.
