She parks cars in the basement
Through that knee-high window
She insists that it's safer than leaving it on the street

You've got all my equipment
You've got cables in intervals of binary math
And I never would've figured that you're chopping cars up
And reassembling them on the other side

You go
Back to person to person
Beat up the broadcast standard
Because you'd rather see
That I'm watching award shows shirtless on an ottoman

Some panel of self-important experts
Popular opinions versus Ideological Agendas
But you can't figure out
How to shut me up
So I might as well be terrified
Of who I don't know

She knows thousands of websites
Rattle them off as you please
She tells you which ones are safe and which ones steal your identity

You found my amazon wish list
And all my favorite Canadian bands
And you never would have guessed that this is just a thin veneer
For a crush on Alanis Morissette

You go
Back to the honors system
Maybe a show of hands or an educated guess
Because you'd rather see
That I'm leaning on a table, tired but still invalidated

Some panel of self-important experts
Popular opinions versus Ideological Agendas
But you can't figure out
How to shut me up
So I might as well be terrified
Of who I don't know

You go
Back to self-centrism
Shitty stories from shitty storytellers
Because you'd rather see
That I'm sleeping on the couch
And I'm tired of being proven wrong
So I just gave up
And let the experts grind five gears
It never circles

Some panel of self-importance
Popular opinions versus Ideological Agendas
But you can't figure out
How to shut me up
So I might as well be terrified
Of who I don't know

The National Hockey League was formed in 1917 for one reason - to kick out Eddie Livingston, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts franchise of the forerunner National Hockey Association. Livingstone was accused of creating unfair advantages for himself and his team. It was deemed unthinkable for the new league to not have a team in Toronto, so it was granted a new team, the Arenas (run by the Arena Gardens), but Livingstone would still get to lease his players to the team. The original NHL consisted of Toronto, the Montreal Canadiens, the Ottawa Senators, and the Montreal Wanderers (who folded after 6 games due to a fire in their arena). Toronto won the Stanley Cup in the NHL's inaugural season.

The team would be renamed the St. Patricks in the midst of a losing stretch in 1919, but would once again reach the Cup in 1922, with Babe Dye (who had an overtime winner in game two and four goals in the deciding fifth game) being the team's hero. They would narrowly miss the playoffs in 1923, despite Dye's 26 goals in only 22 games.

In 1926, Conn Smythe, one of the team's best-known icons, purchased the St. Pats and renamed them the Maple Leafs.
