Soccerbuzz is only acceptable when laughing at England for losing to Iceland.

You see that barstoolsports video with him, Marner and Martin?

Cool seeing those guys all hangin out. You can tell Martin is like the big brother of the group

I have now! Really glad Mitch redeemed himself by not taking slappers the second time around.

Edit - and here's the winner of the comments section:

Martin would get friendly with you... then pluck you and throw your scrawny carcass on the grill.

Is this the kind of thing that has gone south in a hurry for Leafs and their fans in the past, when expectations get raised and then hope is dashed with a miserable run of luck, etc...?

I'm just wondering cuz, having lived in T. for the past 15 years it seems this is about when the bottom falls out, just when hope is at a peak... unless the bubble is still growing right now, but that just means it'll be more painful if and when it bursts...

The beautiful thing is that it really doesn't matter this year.

As fans, we can't lose.

Even if the wheels come off and they bottom out, none of us really expected success.

And if they don't, well then we get playoff hackey

Trolls are mind(frank)ed with the season we’re having, don’t even troll right anymore.

that's a good way to look at it.

i find though the leafs fans I know dont' think like that... they go all in and then when disappoint occurs they lose their minds.

If you've lived here for 15 years, you tell us. 2/10 is very generous.

you could say i'm trolling if i were actually doing that... but i'm not. i've been very straight forward and have posted here regularly in the past.

traditionally, all of us are the same

But we also have never had Marner and Matthews in the past, and haven't had a competent starting goalie since Eddie Belfour.

All fanbases have bushkorn-lite's that we all know. But sure, paint away with that big brush of yours.

i don't actually even care what kind of season Toronto is having. i'm just curious about the general feeling.

judging by the reaction to my legitimate question, which was not trolling, i can see some people are overly sensitive and highly strung.

2/10 for trolling, basically means I wasn't trolling... if I was trolling, i'd get a higher score. so thanks for recognizing.

i didnt' generalize to all leafs fans, just the people i know. I don't even talk to them about hockey anymore cuz it just leads to conflict.

You are very clearly trolling and doing a very poor job of it. People who are "very straight forward" don't ask loaded rhetorical questions like this:

Is this the kind of thing that has gone south in a hurry for Leafs and their fans in the past, when expectations get raised and then hope is dashed with a miserable run of luck, etc...?
