[RSS-Poster]

Armistice in what has been a sometimes grisly Maple Leafs’season has arrived. The Leafs do not play again until Tuesday when they face the Wild in Minnesota.The All-Star break gives us time to take stock of what has been. Here’s a ...

"How much time will this take? We are talking about a wait that began in 1967. The cavalry, relatively speaking, is just over the hill. What we do not yet know is the size of the hill."
aaaaaaaaaahaha
poor leaf fans, I feel sorry for them :(

Actually, you can't even count 1967 and the years before, because there were only FIVE OTHER TEAMS the Leafs had to compete against, so they won their fair share simply due to the # of teams.

The Leafs have NEVER won a Cup in a league that had more than 5 teams competing against them.

Us Leaf fans like to say, 'oh it's been 40 years' but in reality, we've never won anything in a "real" league. I dunno if I'd consider 6 teams an actual league. That's just a division.

I *was* a huge leaf fan. But even then I'd still call it like is. I mean, lets call a circle a circle and a square a square here. Ever since the league had more than 6 teams the Leafs haven't won it.

I'll be a Leaf fan again some day.. I just have to get to know the players better. It's a whole new team and I don't know anything about the guys and unfortunately don't have any time to watch the games.

here's my evaluation of the leafs at the break....garbage. Same as the rest of the year, except during the playoffs. I here they're quite talented on the greens?

Scap the season and go for the draft the Leafs surprised a few teams at the start of the season it will be tougher after the break first crack is against Minnesota.

[brendan_435]

yeah, but they won't tank. They'll finish just out of the playoffs, and miss out on a high pick. and the cycle will continue.
