Arizona Coyotes Should Envy Toronto Maple Leafs Situation

The Arizona Coyotes would welcome the attention the Toronto Maple Leafs are getting, especially if it’s for losing a playoff series.

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.
