The Toronto Maple Leafs Would Win More Playoff Series If Everyone Were As Dialed In As Their Equipment Manager
It's been brutally bitter disappointment for the Toronto Maple Leafs year after year. 6 straight years of making the playoffs, 6 straight soul crushing losses in those series.
If you want to win in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you have to treat every game like it could be your last. You have to treat every period like it could be your last. You have to treat every shift like it could be your last.
But for Toronto Maple Leafs' equipment manager Bobby Hastings? Well he even takes it one step further. He treats every single time a Maple Leafs' player touches the puck like it could be his last. If the Toronto Maple Leafs had 23 Bobby Hastings out there, maybe they wouldn't be the biggest crop of underachievers the league has ever seen. Just look at this man go. Dude doesn't miss a beat. As the old adage goes, "if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready". Bobby Hastings stays ready.
Pay the man. Give him that MacKinnon contract.
