Toronto A Sports Dynasty
Toronto is not the centre of the Universe...I don't care who thinks they are. Toronto has a great sports history in teams like the Maple Leafs who have not won the cup since 1967. The Toronto Raptors who last won in 2019 are still NBA Champions, The Toronto Blue Jays who have not won the World Series since 1993 and 1994.
So to see the Toronto Maple Leafs get knocked out the playoffs before the playoffs even began has just turned about 3 million viewers off of watching the NHL.
