When humanity is threatened only the super powered might of the Toronto Maple Leafs can be counted on to save the day. As the days start to get longer the Maple Leafs start to focus on their true goal. The only thing that can get in their way is themselves.

Three Toronto Maple Leafs wait by the edge of the frozen marsh. Frederik Andersen sips from a flask and passes it to William Nylander. Wily takes a long pull and hands it to Kasperi Kapenen, who takes a sniff before having a taste.

“A Fin, a Dane, and a Swede are standing in a swamp.” Kap says. “I know there’s a joke there somewhere.”

“The joke is that we’re waiting here at all.” Wily says. “And why is that again.”

“I am fulfilling a promise.” Freddy says. “One day it may be you who is thankful I don’t take my promises lightly.”

“Still don’t see why I had to come.” Wily says.

“I thought you’d like to get out for a bit.” Freddy answers.

“Plus I said I wouldn’t come if you didn’t.” Kap says with a grin.

An explosion rocks the peaceful marshlands. The Leafs are spattered with frigid muck. Freddy cast a quick Granny Gruwax’ Gracious Gleam on himself to clean it off then heads towards the blast. Still marsh spattered, Wily and Kap follow and are soon confronted by a melee.

Seven ninjas gang up on two heroes, Ryan Getzlaf and John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks. The mighty pair are exhausted and filthy. Another explosion sends the Ducks reeling as the ninjas close in for the kill. Kap uses his super speed to pluck the Ducks out of harms way. Wily saunters up to the ninjas smiling. The seven deadly, trained assassins lower their weapons. Mezmerized by Wily’s charm the ninjas don’t notice Freddy casting.

“Duck!” Freddy yells. The Leafs chief wizard casts Plimpets Popping Heads across the swath of the marsh. The deceptively sweet sounding name belies the devastating effect of the spell. The seven ninjas, three sparrows and a chipmunk caught in the area simply die as their heads enlarge and then pop with an almost comical sound.

Freddy helps The Ducks to their feet.

“Sorry we took so long.” Ryan says. “We got a little lost in the weeds.”
