Maple Loafs, Maple Laughs, Make-beliefs, ...  In my opinion the Leafs'
biggest problem is their management, but that does not necessarily
imply Pal Hal.  George McNamara has to be the most inept general
manager in the NHL, and yet it looks like the position is his until he
croaks.  Look at the trades the Leafs have made (before this season at
least --- witness the multiple Palmateer juggles, Laurie Boschmann
etc.) and their utterly useless draft choices in the last ten years.
Can you still call McNamara a GM?
