  1. Bill Edwards from Canada writes: So I guess the Leafs are now the talented Canes and the Canes are now the average Leafs? What a great article!
  2. Allan Martel from Canada writes: I would rather let the score of tonight's game speak louder than Shoalts. I pick the Canes by 2 goals over the Leafs.

    The skid that began in Montreal will soon become a slippery slope and the losses for the Leafs will multiply like the loaves and the fishes. Or - if a different miracle happens - the Leafs might rally for a late innings - type win.

    Good thing the Leafs don't have to play the Sharks on this road trip. Let's all pray to Saint Howard.
  3. Dirty Burger from Canada writes: Whatever Shoalts. Canes will mop the ice with the Leafs tonight. Go grab another double cheeseburger.
  4. Camille Klein from Raleigh, NC, United States writes: Hey wow, more lame NASCAR cracks--which is hilarious, because the closest NASCAR ever gets to Raleigh is Charlotte, which is TWO HOURS AWAY--from a guy who covers a team that asked the NHL to move back the start time of one of their games to accomodate their TV rightsholder's broadcast of....wait for it...A NASCAR RACE.

    Oh, the irony. The irony of it all.
  5. Kate Stewart from Raleigh, NC, United States writes: Wow- more cracks on nascar! Before you come up with another one (oh so creative) remember this- Gary Bettman probably dreams of getting the kind of exposure and revenue that nascar does.
  6. Michael Slavitch from Canada writes: That NASCAR comment was of course a pathetic and lame cheap shot, which is what you do when you are whistling past the graveyard as a booster for a team that won't make the playoffs again.

    I hope Shoalts gets a look at that Stanley Cup banner, just to know what one looks like.
  7. charles till from Raleigh, United States writes: Hardly anyone in Raleigh attends NASCAR races, nor was Raleigh ever the locus of a tobacco business (which has shrunk to virtual insignificance statewide, and thankfully so). One would expect the Globe and Mail to be factual and to refrain from cliché.

    As for cities in the NHL with a single daily newspaper, I believe that's the case in Tampa Bay, Denver, and Dallas too... all of which have won the Stanley Cup more recently than the Leafs.
