Après avoir quitté les Maple Leafs de Toronto, Jason Spezza a atterri à Pittsburgh en tant que directeur général adjoint de Kyle Dubas. C’était une décision qui, selon les rumeurs, était en cours depuis que Spezza a présenté sa démission à Brendan Shanahan peu de temps après le départ de Dubas. Une rivalité est née entre les Maple Leafs de Toronto et les Penguins de Pittsburgh. 🐤 : https://www.twitter.com/nickbarden 📸 : https://www.instagram.com/nickbarden 📽️ : https://www.tiktok.com/@nick_barden

No rivalry – zero – nada – between the Leafs and the Pens. They play each other three times a year. No rivalry. This is an entirely generated Toronto-we-are-the-center-of-the-hockey-universe. To be a rivalry you need two sides. Pittsburgh HAS rivals – Washington, Philly, the Islanders, Rangers – why – even Colombus or possibly even Buffalo would be more of a "rivalry" the Pens than the Leafs. Nobody in the 'burg cares one bit about the soap-opera dramas of Toronto's front office clown show.
The rapidity of Spezza's quit makes this hire one of the least surprising things to happen. I like him and would wish him all the best. I think the Pens got a stand up guy for the front office.
