    Lots of big expensive contracts with no Stanley Cup in sight.

      It’s a hard trophy to win, but I have faith this will age poorly.

        Honestly I hope so too. It’s fun dunking on the Leafs but I do feel for the true fans.

          With the no cup argument put to the side for a minute, they are in the entertainment business and Toronto is a pretty entertaining team to watch.

            They do make a good scene to throw your popcorn at. They’ve been looking pretty good, but I don’t really care until it counts. Which, for over 40 years now, they’ve been doing a sterling and consistent job of letting me down.

              That’s fair! I’m trying to be less of a rabid team fan and just enjoying the sport for what it is. I ditched all fantasy this year too. Still have a team I cheer for, obviously, but I was finding myself always angry/ornery.
