Leafs ownership issues gag order.....litterally.

The Toronto Maple Leafs misserable slide hit rock bottom this week when they lost to the Ducks, a last place team in their respective conference and are now back to where they were earlier in the year, which is out of a playoff spot. The JR Leafs are technically out of a spot too. Thusly, the team from this point out have issued a gag order.


Since this has taken place, the team has a rule that states when both teams are out of the playoffs, the GM is forbidden to speak in the chat room, must be forced to watch game tapes of every Thrasher game to remind them what a really awful team looks like, and when responding to any league email or messageboard response they must end it with a humble message stating "you have an awsome team, we are utter crap..thank you for acknowledging that we even exist".

Taking this gag order one step further, GM Steve Vendetti gagged and tied up both Eric Lindros and Mats Sundin, then dressed them in prison fatigues and he issued this statement written on a large piece of cardboard since he is not able to speak. " WILL TRADE FOR FOOD". Although the idea of trading food for players seems cheap, I think it shouldnt be taken at face value and was more of a statement than anything. Mind you, with the way things are going, maybe a box of Girl Guide cookies might do the trick.


In another odd move, the team's pro lines will now be selected by a blindfolded baby. When asked why, the GM made the "hear no evil/see no evil/speak no evil" signals. We interperated that to mean "we couldnt find a monkey to do the lines, so the baby will have to do".
