Ah Toronto, the city of smog and stupid sports writers.
Cruising over to Canoe to read about my Carolina Hurricanes winning game four against Edmonton Oilers (Boo!), I see every columist and news article is about the action on the ice. Except one. Enter Steve Simmons from the Toronto Sun:
All his life, all Tie Domi wanted was to play for the Maple Leafs.
Woah, What? WHAT!? Tie Domi is a long time Leafs Goon-Wanna-Be? Big freaking news.
The real truth here: Keeping Tie Domi for the final year of his contract isn't the kind of move that will set the Leafs on the path to a parade. But conversely, it isn't a move that will set them back, either.
In other words, damned if you do, damned if NO OUTSIDE OF NAVEL-GAZING-HOGTOWN CARES!
Tie Domi no kid anymore. He knows the finish line is near. He just doesn't see it coming this soon, this week.
When Paul Maurice was hired to coach the Leafs, his friend and ex-teammate Gary Roberts told Domi that "this will be the best thing that ever happened to you."
He told him that assuming there still is a season left to play.
There is no assuming that anymore: Just an interminable wait for an uneasy blue and white answer.
The only interminable wait is waiting for you to finish this pointless and mind numbing column, Steve. Hey guess what? Toronto didn't even make the playoffs, and they are probably not going to make it next year you goob.
*grumbles*
