Pretend Press Release October 14, 2009,
Based on the worst start in The Toronto Maple Leafs Franchise history, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has sold the team to Jim Basillie for $425 million dollars. Mr. Basillie has agreed not to move the team out of Toronto and the Air Canada Center. The Toronto Maple Leafs will be re-branded immediately with a stronger name and attitude. Mr. Basillie "will do whatever is required to straighten out the sinking ship"
What do you think?"I'm so excited to be a part of a winning franchise once again. No more living in the past 1967 - it's about the future for this Torontonian. I can sleep well this evening knowing that we are now officially the center of the hockey universe.
Here is the new logo for the NHL team in Toronto."

Thanks for that Dark. We hate you to begin with, but this made me laugh. Avery stills sucks pucks
ReplyDeletei wouldn't be too surprised if your 'fake' press release becomes reality within a season or two, the way the leafs are playing. it's a pretty sad situation!
ReplyDeleteA win will turn things around, but more of this and Burkie and the people around him are going to lose confidence...if that happens, then you're really in trouble!
