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.

Nikita Zaitsev and Auston Matthews wait behind the dumpster while John Tavares does the talking. The warlock who runs the tavern is furious, which is fair, but John can use his super chill in some very interesting ways. The warlock goes from shaking in rage to crying on Johns shoulder. John signals to his teammates to move while he guides the tavern keeper back inside.

Nik tries not to laugh too loud as he and Auston climb up onto the roof.

“Quiet, c’mon man.” Auston smiles even though he’s using his super serious voice. “That was pretty awesome though.”

Nikita had planted a tiny explosive which destroyed the taverns privy, which was little more than a trough. The explosion had also destroyed half of the building.

“Who doesn’t have plumbing?” Nik says. “It’s almost rude if you think about it. Definitely amateur, as far as a business model goes.” They both laugh as they reach the roof.

And so the Toronto Maple Leafs fall for one of the classic blunders: never climb on to a roof while you’re laughing. The waiting pair of Ogre bouncers reach out and grab the Leafs and drag them to the blasted edge of the building.

The problem is that it’s hard to take your opponent seriously when they don’t even take care of the basics, but that doesn’t mean they can’t kill you. So the Leafs are bored. They are waiting for things to get serious. Waiting for the long awaited dam to burst. It’s been coming all year, now it’s only a matter of days. Hard to focus on a loser dive bar when the greatest challenge of your life is looming just around the corner.

Not that there’s much reason to worry. The Ogres are frozen solid before the Leafs can be tossed off the side. John snaps the frozen fingers off of Austons ankle then turns to Nik.

“I should probably just leave you here.” John cannot keep a straight face, no matter how close the Leafs are to disaster. “Don’t you know this isn’t a game.”

“But we still win.” Nik answers.
