The best sports league ever. Founded in 1909 as the National Hockey Association (NHA), the NHL is the second-oldest currently existing North American professional sports league, second only to the MLB. The NHL's championship trophy, the Stanley Cup, introduced in 1892, is the oldest currently existing championship trophy in North American professional sports. In 1926, with teams in Montréal, Boston, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, the NHL expanded to Chicago, New York City, and Detroit. The teams based in Toronto and Detroit changed their names to the Maple Leafs and the Red Wings, respectively, in the coming years. Having Ottawa and Pittsburgh folded, the New York Americans and Montréal Maroons were the only two teams left other than today's Original 6. Both folded because of World War II. The NHL would not expand again until 1967, with new teams in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Minnesota, Oakland, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Later on, in 1979, the NHL merged with the World Hockey Association (WHA), giving the NHL teams in Winnipeg, Québec City, Hartford, and Edmonton. Winnipeg relocated to Phoenix, AZ, Québec relocated to Denver, CO, Hartford relocated to Greensboro, NC, and later to Raleigh, NC, and Minnesota relocated to Dallas, TX. In 2000, the NHL's last expansion year, a team was introduced to Columbus, OH, and the NHL was re-introduced to Minnesota. The Atlanta Thrashers relocated to Winnipeg in 2011.

Get the that really grinds my maple leafs mug.A reference to what Tyler Joseph once said in an interview while asked about his voice.
He was asked why his voice was deep in some songs but not in others and he explained he didn't like the sound of his voice; it was too high. He then gave an example to if he were to have a wife and children and someone were to break in and he'd yell but his voice would not be very intimidating.
