Toronto Maple Leafs' woeful history is enough to cheer up any fan of the Vancouver Canucks

On what has been a difficult week for Canucks fans, here is some salve for the wounds. While Canucks fans are tired of hearing about the Toronto Maple Leafs, it does make some sense, given that the national media are headquartered in TO and most of the people who cover hockey are going to be fans of their home team.

It will only get worse now that TSN and Sportsnet’s parent companies, Bell and Rogers, each own 37.5 percent of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Leafs. Bell's parent also owns a 15 percent stake in the Globe and Mail, which is based in Toronto.

However, the reality is that the Maple Leafs were getting too much credit long before most of us were even born.
