As a lifelong Leaf fan, I so hope for success. But with every Leaf playoffs season, I feel I can’t lose, regardless of the outcome.
The entertainment factor either way is guaranteed.

I'm not there with you. I don't find decades of losing entertaining. Leaf fans need to demand and expect more from a historical franchise like this with deep pockets. It's pathetic. Word is ownership expressed to Keith Pelley the new MLSE president that they are not happy with teams lack of playoff success. I was pleased to read that and the hope I do have is that significant changes are made

The evolution of survival.
The entertainment I get from losing comes from witnessing the melt downs.
This year could be super juicy, and it’s probably accompanied with some actual dramatic change should they lose this round.

I appreciate the leafs for finding new ways to embarrass themselves each year.

Ah well, only game 1.

Can still improve and turnaround

This is why they’ll never win.

“Oh well, maybe next year.”

Everybody stay in your seats. No loud rock music in the building because we’re trying to appeal to the Kpop audience. Keep buying our jerseys. If you’re a real fan from a working class family, just save up for a couple years and maybe you can afford tickets in the nosebleeds. It’s exactly what we want when we allow players to chase personal stats at the end of the season, because that sort of thing is how you end up on legends row. Championships aren’t important as long as we’re taking in the cheddar.

When Keefe eventually gets fired you already know what he’s going to say. Shanny has his fingers in everything, and he demanded that they commit to this core because each of the players have their own individual fanbases, and he doesn’t want to alienate any of them. He clearly forced Tre to give Nylander that contract. If trading Marner would better the team then I’m all for it but I don’t think that’s the right move.

They’re in a pickle. The window is starting to close. With that core they should’ve had more success than they’ve had. And not doing anything to address it tells me that it’s just all about the money. They embarrassed their fans with the product they put on the ice. Matthews will leave.
