Maple Laughs Legends Deserved Better From Fans, Team: Feschuk
Toronto Maple Laughs = Lack of Class
FROM THE TORONTO STAR:
" Sadly, the
significance of Saturday's ceremony, whether because of bad messaging or short notice,
seemed mostly lost on those who made the snowy trip to the Leafs-Senators match. The
pre-game crowd was sparse; the
current Maple Laughs players, who'd stayed in their dressing room for much of the pomp, only emerged to see the tail end of the motorcade - this after
even the visiting Senators had taken to their bench to pay their respects.
And as for the ovation - it was friendly, but it
was far from frenetic. On any given night the
Kiss Cam gets a far more visceral reaction. The empty-net goal that capped Toronto’s eventual 3-0 win over Ottawa stirred plenty
more fervour than the presence of those six Hall of Famers from another eon.
As Sports Illustrated writer Michael Farber tweeted from the press box as Keon and his teammates took the ice: "
ACC is library quiet. 63 Leafs deserve better."
Farber, of course, is based in Montréal, where
nos Habitants unfailingly treat matters of tradition with religious zeal and utmost skill. Already this year
nos Habitants have wowed the national TV audience with a riveting torch-passing rite that amounted to a memorable opening night, no matter the quality of the post-lockout product.
