ESPN rates Toronto Maple Leafs as one of the worst franchises in sports. If you're a Leafs fan, and let's face it if you're reading this you're a Leafs fan, then you know very well the frustration of years of futility on the ice. However you may not have realized just how bad you've had it. In spite of being arguably one of the most financially successful sports franchises in North America, the Toronto Maple Leafs recently rated LAST in an ESPN's ultimate franchise ranking. That's right out of the 122 teams included in the ranking the Leafs were DEAD LAST. Some of the categories used to judge the franchise's ranking included affordability(122nd), bang for your buck(122nd), and of course the all important championships(121st). With the highest priced ticket in the NHL backed by a 50 year championship drought it's no surprise ESPN reached this conclusion. At least there's no where to go but up.
