You would think that 56 years and counting of failure would have taught Toronto brass and fans something.
“I just cannot believe,” said the anonymous author, “that so many people in hockey refuse to acknowledge how random the game is. Winning is perhaps the worst measure of success.”The professional journalists were little better. In a segment for TSN between the Dubas press conference and his firing, one reporter talked about Dubas as though he were a cross between Sam Pollock and Gandhi. Another decided to sound opinions from other GMs in the league — on decisions made by the Leafs.
Instead, journalists focus on the “process” and end up sounding as though they’re PR people at the offices of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. The effect was palpable. Toronto lost that game but with a little help from an erratic Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Leafs won their first playoff series in two decades before reverting to form against a disciplined Florida team.Article content
In Toronto, it’s praise the process and wait till next year, when the greatest team in the history of the game will surely win that elusive Stanley Cup. Nor are things likely to improve with Brendan Shanahan and his never-ending Shanaplan.
