The Secret for the Leafs

The Leafs need to watch The Secret and then start doing some visualization of their goal, which mustn't be to make the playoffs. Their goal must be to take the Stanley Cup to their respective home town in the summer of 2008, to drink from the cup, you get the picture.

I can't believe that a $45M NHL team cannot produce the way they need to to win. From Toskala to the stick boy, this team really needs to believe that they can be a contender team. The way they are playing, it is obvious that they don't see themselves as winners.

In 1993 the Los Angeles Kings had Anthony Robbins work with them, visualizing their wins, motivating them. The result? They made it to the Stanley Cup final. They lost to Patrick Roy after that, but heck, had it been for AR's work, they would have been a run-of-the-mill team (even with Gretzky on board).

The Leafs must be convinced that they can win. At the moment, it is obvious that they aren't.

Visualizing

I remember Anthony Robbins' work with the Kings and if something similar could help the Leafs they might as well try it.

Right now they clearly visualize themselves as a team that can take nights off and still be successful when that has never been the case.

That Leafs team in 1993 was terrible talent-wise. They had no top-end talent past Potvin, Gilmour, Andreychuk, and maybe Todd Gill but the team played like bulldogs.
