Fan 1: Let's go Leafs let's go on a small win streak and get back on the playoff race!! Fan 2: Yeah let's just fall out of top 5 pick and toil in mediocrity for the next 100 years! Fan 3: Leafs wouldn't win their way out of a wet paper bag lol Woo! interacting with fans! **My thoughts:** The Leafs give the home fans one win before giving the away fans a loss. Each. Sorry guys, there's tanking to do.
