What Would Be In A 2012 Maple Leafs Time Capsule?

The time capsule had more rust than Colton Orr

Last week Ryerson University and Loblaws, the new owners of Maple Leaf Gardens, opened up a Time Capsule that was buried in the hockey shrine back in 1931. Inside were some newspapers, a red ensign flag, a rule book, a Gardens stock prospectus, and a tiny ivory elephant. So basically nothing awesome.

This got me thinking, What if the Leafs buried something now at the Air Canada Centre. What would they leave behind in a time capsule now to show future generations of Leafs fans what things were like back in 2012? Here are some ideas of what we think they should bury in a time capsule now (most likely in a Rogers cable box):

• 2011-12 NHL Rule Book so the future can see how "barbaric" the rules were in 2012
• Tyler Bozak's Xbox controller
• A few ticket stubs to show the future generation how cheap Toronto Maple Leafs tickets once were
• X-rays of Colby Armstrong's broken down body
• Moustache clippings from grinder Mike Brown
• A signed ruler by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan

• An American flag and passport photocopies of all the American players and management working for the Leafs
• The Stanley Cup parade plans dated every two weeks into a new season
• Ripped up newspaper columns from The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons and The Toronto Star's Damien Cox
• A signed Bible from James Reimer
• Joe Bowen's microphone with "Holy Mackinaw" engraved on the side of it
• John Ferguson Jr.'s toys that he left behind when he was fired as GM
