So, there’s a podcast you could listen to. --- #### Related [Back to Excited Episode 156: A terrible, no good, very bad week](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-back-to-excited-podcast/) --- Everyone's frustrated. --- #### Related [Fan launches Leafs jersey onto the ice just 5 games into NHL season](https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-leafs-fan-launches-jersey-onto-the-ice-just-5-games-into-season-003336140.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) --- Look, i know the Leafs are bad right now, but at least - AT LEAST - we aren’t the Sabres.
