It's a long hockey season in Toronto with not much to talk about. McCabe was run out of town, Sundin is about to sign somewhere else and Burke has already arrived. So the media needs to focus its attention on someone else. Fortunately along comes Jeremy Williams to fill headlines for the week.
You see Williams was brought up for a game 3 years ago and scored a goal. Two years ago the Leafs brought him again and he scored a goal in his only game that season. Then last season he scored in his first game as a Leaf. Finally this week he is up again and...he scored a goal and an assist! So those sharp reporters figure this guy could score 82 goals if he played a whole season. Everyone is getting all excited.
Most of the media let one detail slip by and many fans don't remember. But last season the Leafs kept Williams up for more than one game. He played another 17 games last season. Hmm, the reason you might not remember is that he only scored one goal in that period.
Although many people are thinking Jeremy Williams has 4 goals and 1 assist in 4 NHL games. Well, its actually 5 goals and 1 assist in 21 games.
Hey that's still on pace for a 20 goal season. But he ain't no Alex Ovechkin.
