No Matter What the Maple Leafs do, at least they aren’t the Edmonton Oilers.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost in five straight first round series, but no matter how much they have failed or continue to fail, at least they didn’t trade for Duncan Keith.
Maybe there is an alternate universe where the Edmonton Oilers, under the guidance of billionaire owner Daryl Katz, have enjoyed long periods as an NHL dynasty and have hoisted the precious Stanley Cup numerous times, hanging banners to the rafters of Rogers Place with a packed Winter Garden overlooking 104 Avenue.
