YouTube parody likens Leafs season to a shipwreck

Wreck Maple Leafs SeasonIt's trade deadline day in the NHL, and both Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel are on the block. If that doesn't tell you how bad the Toronto Maple Leafs' season has been, I don't know what does. Terms that come to mind are "blow up," "tear down," and "barn sale." Yes, it's quite the mess the team has gotten into, and fans on YouTube won't let them forget it.

Earlier this year Steven Ryan's "Say Something" parody proved hugely popular, and now a new video is making the rounds on social media. Based on the tune of Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerlad," it's a three minute tour of just how dismal the year has been for the Blue and White. Credit for the lyrics goes to Peter Gross.

Nope lets not try and get our 15 minutes of fame at the expense of someone else's failures. Find other ways to prop yourself up be the bigger person. Take the high road.

Wes: I love you, man! :)

Ray: see the last 40+ years of Leaf hockey before opening your mouth--clearly you have no clue how MLSE have cornholed this town for decades.

I thought our taxes owned the Leafs. Don't the Canada Teachers Monies own the Leafs and we pay taxes to our schools.

Dennis, you are a colossal idiot.

1. Our taxes did not "own" the Leafs.

2. The "Canada Teachers Monies" as you put it (known to the sane as the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan) sold their shares in MLSE to Rogers and Bell a few years ago.

3. You should have spent more time in school.
