The Hockey News does this with every team. I don’t get why people focus on the Leafs.
Never mind the jinxes, can someone explain what the hell Stutzle is wearing on his feet?

"Plan the parade" isn't a jinx, it's one of the dumbest, overused cliches in hockey. In this case, it was a very deliberate poke at hockey fans. The magazine editor knew the headline would piss off fans and sell more copies. What he/she couldn't have known was the level of irony it would reach.

Can anyone translate this for the over 30s?

They're the Zebra striped version of Kanye West's Addidas shoe line "Yeezy", they're no longer being made (because... you know, take a look around) and they can go for $500+ CAD depending on the size

Thank you. Very concerning.

Hockey mecca. People claim to hate the coverage we get but can't stop talking about us and consuming Leafs content

I saw on one fansite…I think it was a Sabres forum..where someone quoted a Toronto Sun columnist that said pretty much the same thing.

But as someone said, while I could have seen the Leafs not winning a Cup..it’s a tough two month haul, I certainly didn’t think they would only win 1 playoff series. At least this year they lasted longer than the Islanders so Pajama Boy can feel good about that.

Not even remotely similar. Those covers don’t proudly claim the teams will win multiple cups.
'Building a Champion'

'Meet your 2019 Stanley Cup Champions'

THN has done this exact same cover for multiple teams, yet for someone reason you're acting like it hasn't happened despite appearing right in front of you.

No. Fans chanting, “we want Florida” is a bigger jinx.
Yes, the few dozen teenagers chanting outside the arena during an away game really represent a fanbase of millions.
