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.
Jack Eichel and Kyle Okposo speed past the mundane vehicles in their Buffalo Sabres rocket car. The pair of Sabres are excited and their exuberance can’t be contained.
“This is it bro.” Jack says, slapping Kyle hard on the shoulder. “It’s finally time. It’s finally our turn!”
“Hell yeah!” Kyle says. “We’re gonna get ours tonight!”
Their conversation doesn’t go much deeper than that as the rocket car tears toward Niagra Falls. It’s hard to blame them for being super amped up. They are sure that it’s their moment to shine. The hated Toronto Maple Leafs have been battling illness for a few weeks now. Every adventure seems to end up worse then the last. And now a great monstrous Minotaur is rampaging along the Niagra. This time the world would watch the Buffalo Sabres take on terrible danger and emerge as triumphant heroes.
News cameras are circling the area as Kyle slows the rocket car to approach. Jack jumps out before it has stopped and lands with a crash on the American side of the river. It takes him a moment to figure out what he is looking at. Across the river Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Tyler Ennis are pulling the corpse of the Minotaur out of the water. Jack just stares. Apparently the Toronto Maple Leafs are okay again. Jack can’t even get mad about it, he thought he would finally beat them but he didn’t, life can be cruel.
Auston notices Jack and waves. Jack waves back, hating how jealous he is of his friend. A rope ladder drops out of the rocket car an Jack starts climbing. Across the river a hover lift is floating the Leafs and their prize into their Toronto Maple Leafs rocket car.
“More like a rocket limo.” Jack says to himself. The Leafs are gone before he’s halfway up the ladder.
