Don't think Your Leafs, or as Lou Lamoriello general manager of Your Toronto Maple Leafs calls them when he shills in a radio ad for some car dealership, Your Toronto Maple Leafs, are actually that good.

Which puts me in agreement with this columnist's view, if I have inferred correctly.  And, I dare say, I have.

But, Holy Shootout Batman, does it really matter?  This fan base has had its expectations dumbed down to something that barely registers, so nobody cares how they do.  Playing with house money as long as this is still a part of the NHL at the end of the season.

No fan of this team is going to come out and ever say s/he thinks they're good enough to make the playoffs, they all know better.  They will talk 'bout playoffs when MLSE tells them to.
