For the Toronto Maple Leafs, this is the second or third outdoor game in recent memory. I could check, but that’s the point – I could not possibly care less. So the game is tomorrow, but, like the second time you hear a novelty song, the charm is quickly wearing off the outdoor game. They even gave it a fancy name, to differentiate it from other outdoor games, but damned if I know or care what it is.
My problem with the outdoor game is the same as my problem with the pocket square: it serves absolutely no function.
