So they are the Canadian hockey equivalent of the Cowboys. Or more appropriately, the Cowboys are the NFL's version of the Leafs (who came first by a good margin).
Of course all of this just reminds me of Bowser and Blue, Toronto the place we love to hate!

ST LOUIS (Ticker) - It looks like Erik Johnson will make his mark in college before taking his game to the NHL.
The St. Louis Blues announced Friday that Johnson, the top pick in last month's NHL Draft, will attend the University of Minnesota in the fall.
The 18-year-old native of Bloomington, Minnesota has spent the previous two years with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
"We feel this is a win-win situation for Erik to be going to an excellent hockey program to continue his development," Blues president John Davidson said. "This is beneficial for his career, short term and long term, to play for the Gophers. He will have an opportunity to compete for an NCAA national championship, play in the World Junior Championships and enjoy university life."
The 6-4, 222-pound defenseman recorded 16 goals and 33 assists in 47 games with the U.S. Under-18 team this past year and helped lead the team to the gold medal at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Under-18 Championships for the second consecutive year.
