Grapefruits Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 College textbook takes a shot at the Maple Leafs cup drought BarDown Staff (@BarDown) Sep. 12, 2015 3:36 PM It doesn't matter where Toronto Maple Leafs fans find themselves, they just can't seem to avoid someone mentioning the franchise's Stanley Cup drought. Even in a post-secondary classroom. While looking through their textbook, one hockey fan spotted a little barb against the Leafs and their Cup drought before sharing a photo of the paragraph on Reddit. Tough to say whether the person or persons who wrote that section of the textbook are Leafs fans trying to inspire their favourite team to victory, or if it's a rival supporter taking shots at the squad any way they can. Either way, that's one way to grab the attention of students in a classroom. http://www2.tsn.ca/bardown/story.aspx?college%252btextbook%252btakes%252ba%252bshot%252bat%252bthe%252bmaple%252bleafs%252bcup%252bdrought&id=559877 ----------------------------------------------- LOL! Now that's funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Weasel Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Lol, works the same for the Canucks though. If I was reading that textbook, the next thing i would do is hop on CDC or HFBoards and stop reading the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPatrick33 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I like how they call the fans shortsighted, seems like the author knew what he was talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 True, but to my knowledge we've never made it into a text book. I've seen the Canucks in textbooks more than a. Couple times before, nothing like this however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks.bradley Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 That is hilarious. Further research shows the main author, Gary Lipschutz, being a resident of Toronto haha.

-AJ- Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 True, but to my knowledge we've never made it into a text book. I've seen them in a few Math and Business textbooks, but nothing so dramatic or biased as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 True, but to my knowledge we've never made it into a text book. If you read the picture, the Vancouver Canucks were right there next to the leaves. My finance professor actually used the stick in rink logo as an visual for a finance graph and he absolutely love it. This is in Illinois so blackhawk country.
