There are a few things that the Toronto faithful can look forward to this year.
1) The GM will be miserable, condescending and look to the media and fans like we are idiots that are not deserving of his time.
2) The Coach will be miserable, condescending and look to the media and fans like we are idiots that are not deserving of his time.
3) The Toronto press will grossly over-rate Toronto’s “top players”. Our “top players” are 2nd and 3rd liners on the NHL’s competitive, well built teams.
4) The Leafs will not make the playoffs for what feels like the 8000th year in a row.
5) The Leafs will remain “cup-less” since 1967. (to put that into perspective, 1967 was the year that Charlie Chaplin made his last movie, The “doors” released their first album, the body of U.S. President John F. Kennedy was moved to a permanent burial place at the Arlington National Cemetery, Martin Luther King, Jr. denounced the Vietnam War during a religious service in New York City, Muhammad Ali refused military service…and the entire player roster of the Toronto Maple Leafs had not been born yet.)
6) The Leafs will win 2 games in a row and the fans will be calling talk radio to promise the Leafs will win the Stanley Cup.
7) The Leafs will lose 2 games in a row and the very same fans will be calling talk radio to promise the Leafs will not make the playoffs.
Go ahead and try to prove me wrong. The real shame about it is, nobody cares. Leafs fans have gotten so used to losing that they accept it.
I am not that bright and I don’t know why they suck so bad, nor do I know what the solution is. However they do have a large staff that gets paid millions of dollars to get results and make the team better. They should be much smarter than me and be able to right this sinking (sunken) ship.
Fortunately, Leafs management will continue to remind me of that fact each and every time they speak to the media.
