It's a Hockey Town, plain and simple. Very simple.

Prodigal Leaf returns

The front page of the Star says it all. The Front Page!
Forget gas price, the crappy housing market, the latest senseless military death...forget all of it. The Maple Leafs have hired a new head coach
Ron Wilson and that my friends is front page news this 9th of June 2008.
Wow.
This should tell you all you need to know about this town when it comes to sport. The Euro soccer thingy, the Blue Jays, the NBA playoffs, the U.S. Open, forget all of it. The only thing that matters is the Leafs and this is big Leaf news.
My joby job prevents me from listening to a lot of local Radio after 9am, but I'm sure this will be topic one on the Fan, Old Mojo and bits of RB. And why not, after all this has huge meaning for fans of the Hockey Club. Why this new coach might actually be able to help them get to the playoffs.
Yes hope springs eternal for Leaf Fans, even this late in the Spring.
