It's Monday morning which means two things: that it's time to head to the polls and vote in the Fan Confidence Poll. Last week's tally was 53 which gives us a run of 64-68-66-60-61-66-73-77-64-53 since the inception of the poll. The plunging result marks the lowest since the dark days of the slow pre-season start. The Leafs week saw them go 0-1-2 while losing two games in a shootout from winning positions. This is a reminder that what we're trying to track is your thoughts on the following: 

**How likely are the Leafs to make the playoffs?** 

So what happened over the past week?

1. An ugly loss to our provincial neighbours started the week off as [the Leafs fell to the Senators 3-2](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-2-v-senators-3-mental-errors-costly/).
2. The Leafs followed it up with what could have been a confidence boosting comeback win but which left us only with a glimpse of the goaltender that [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/jonas-gustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) could be becoming. The [5-4 loss to the Capitals](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/caps-5-leafs-4-so-gustavsson-gets-us-a-point/) came via shootout which would be repeated.
3. You can follow the despair in the collapse that saw [the Sabres pull out a 3-2 shootout win with the third period thread](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/leafs-2-sabres-1-three-the-hard-way/).
4. With the glow of the Leafs' hot start almost completely evaporated [1967ers reminded us that sometimes hot starts don't portend better times](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/norm-aubin/).
5. In retrospect, [we might need to take a longer view of the word 'upswing'](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/on-the-upswing/).
6. With [the penalty kill beginning to falter](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/diamonds-arent-forever/) and results falling by the wayside more than a few fans are wondering if [there might need to be a change behind the bench](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/i-think-weve-seen-enough/).
7. Things might be different if the team had some more size down the middle, like [say a Max Bentley](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/max-bentley-my-grandfathers-leafs/), but the atmosphere would definitely be different [if the ACC ever found its voice and it's creativity](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/enhance-fan-experience/).

So that is the week that was. Vote in the top left hand side of the front-page and then explain your rationale. If you're lurking, this is a great spot to come into the light.
