Crossed the wire from Yahoo Sports. Read it and weigh in:
Still can't believe some of you are actually excited about the fact that our rivalry with Toronto is going to be more meaningful. Newsflash: it should always matter. We've been dealing with those overhyped babies for decades, no need to freak out when it's officially noted by Yahoo Sports.
I'm glad we're finally getting some recognition for how intense our rivalry is, but I have to agree with HockeytownHank - it's been meaningful all along. Looking at the numbers, it's clear that games against Toronto are among the most competitive and high-energy matchups on our schedule, with a track record of close scores and significant shot attempts in both directions.
I agree with fenwickfan about the numbers, but I think we're overlooking the bigger picture here - our rebuild and the Leafs' are on parallel tracks, and next season will be a great test of where each team is headed.
