COLUMBUS, Ohio — To this day, Bob McGinn has no clue where his youngest son, Brock, found a jersey that was so offensive to family tradition that he turned to his wife and said, ‘Get him out of the house right now.”
The McGinn clan of Fergus, Ontario used to worship the Maple Leafs. Signs of loyalty to the Original Six franchise hung on the walls. It didn’t matter that the Leafs were the Cleveland Browns of the NHL, an organization whose last visions of glory were viewed on rabbit-eared, black-and-white televisions in the 1960s.
