They are simply not a very good team. Closer to the Flames and Canucks than the Penguins or Blackhawks, that's for sure.

I'm a little worried if Carlyle doesn't get fired this season that they're not only gunning for a high draft pick, but that they also have designs on Mike Babcock - and think they can actually sign him.
When that rumour came out last summer, I thought it was ridiculous - no way would Babs ever go to that laughingstock of a franchise, when he could literally have his pick of teams to go to if he became available. But Shanahan...
It would sadden a lot of Canadian hockey fans for Babcock to sully his legacy by coaching the Laffs

He was born in Ontario...
Wasn't there a rumor floating around that Babcock and Shanny do not get along? Or was that media fluff?

What about the Harold Ballard era....
At least 50 boys were sexual abused by Maple Leaf Gardens employees during the Harold Ballard era. In fact Ballard himself was named directly by one of the victims (after Ballard's death and never proven). So I think Ballard wins this award.
