Quote:
If the NHL ever chooses to add a second team in Toronto, that expansion franchise has to hope the Maple Leafs' Stanley Cup drought continues.
Speaking in a hypothetical sense on the topic of a second team in the hockey-mad market, commissioner Gary Bettman said it's one thing to consider.
"If we decided that we were putting a second team in Ontario, and the year the team was supposed to start, the Leafs won the Cup, that second team wouldn't exist," Bettman said in a conversation with George Stroumboulopoulos at a Canadian Club luncheon.
Stroumboulopoulos, the new host of "Hockey Night In Canada" and a self-professed Montreal Canadiens fan, interrupted Bettman to say, "That's a big hypothetical."
