I told you those pricks would probably get lucky. All they do is whine about their predicament and every time they're stagnant or in trouble, the league helps them out. Stern called the Vancouver fiasco his greatest regret and the league has been determined to make sure Toronto doesn't follow suit.
Even when they shamelessly tank and thumb their nose up at the play-in (things that the league shouldn't be pleased with from a supposedly good team), they get rewarded.
Meanwhile, the idiots here continue to get on, so why shouldn't every mediocre or worse team tank again?
And how embarrassing is it that 2 years after gifting them a championship, they now have a better present and future than this team that still lacks a foundational player? What a disgrace.
