As usual your rants don't really resonate with hockey fans. I have a kid who played in the NHL and anyone with an ounce of hockey knowledge will tell you Montreal and Toronto are the hardest markets to play in. Why? Well if you'd paid attention, say the last 60 years , going back to Frank Mahovolich, you'll know  that Toronto eats its young. Remember Kent Douglas?
I'll agree Laine is a fine young budding superstar but, the article is about Matthews. Besides, Laine has to surpass Teemu Selaine's record of 76 goals as a rookie even though Teemu was 22 at the time. 
If you remember Toronto pretty well ruined Wendell by letting run around and fight anyone he pleased. Not good for the hands or his lower back. What could have been.
