Shit, I love watching the Leafs fill the net. But beyond a temporary filling of warmth, really what does it accomplish? The answer to that question is simple. The hard part: finding a way to negociate these rare, albeit fun victories and end up where this team should be, the bottom.

Wouldn’t it be nice to support this team in games of consequence again??

Go Leafs... at some point.

To be honest one year of being awful and getting Tavares isn’t going to fix the Leafs. Toronto’s getting a good draft pick this year, and they’ll get a good one next year, and the year after.

thats optimism I can get behind

Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option

To be honest I don’t really even think we need to wait that long. If we could just improve our team defense and get respectable goaltender we could make the playoffs (think Minnisota/Calgary, but our offense is better). Add in the this years draft (hopefully) and last years, that gives us sufficient prospects to work with. If we do these two things once next summer roles around we could actually get a high caliber free agent or two to come here. I don’t think this should take longer than an additional season, two at the tops depending on the variables.

but I don’t know, I have been accused of being an optimist.

Can’t win the Stanley Cup. Can win the Tavares Cup. This team isn’t good enough for anything else. That’s clear.

If wins now contribute to this team’s future success, I’d like to know how?

Who the heck on this current roster will be here when wins mean something again. Like 2, 3 guys? If that?

Go Leafs... at some point.

Hags, Moore, Schenn, Stajan, Finger almost for sure, and possibly Grabo, Lemon, and Whitey.
After this draft I’m pretty sure the Leafs are going to go from the overhaul mentality, to filling in the wholes.

My mentality towards this team right now is screwy. In a better term, torn. And I doubt I’m unlike many other people who spend a great amount of time watching, living, breathing this team’s exploits.

Go Leafs... at some point.
