If following the Leafs makes you unhappy, why not change to following a team that will make you happy. Or stop following hockey for a while until there is a team that cheering for them makes you happy.

To keep doing something that makes you unhappy, just seems like a very silly thing to do.

This is the basis of my point, I don’t think a single one of us believes that they’re going to win the cup yadda yadda yadda plan the parades etc, we all know and see what this team needs to be better at to take it to the next level, but to just come here and complain to no end about a team that’s comfortably going to be in the post season and competing for a cup run right out the hop against an elite team just really doesn’t provide a whole lot to others experiences here, and sounds like an overall miserable way to expend one’s energy and spare time.

How many Cup competitive teams with Cup aspiration put their goalie on waivers on trade deadline day?

Leafs tried to trade him, and waive him, and couldn't get rid of him so now he is our starter we are asking to win games for us again.

Being a long suffering Leafs fan this is the kind of stuff that just exudes confidence that things are all under control and going as expected.

Interesting team building strategy, sending the message we don't want you nor need you, but now we expect you to perform at a strong level.

Devil's Advocate - Mrazek isn't the goalie they are pinning their cup hopes on. Sounds like they had conversations with him prior to it happening, and told him they didn't expect that he would get claimed and it was a cap move.
I'd much rather my team did everything in it's power to win, rather than worrying about everyone's feelings.
There's a time and a place to be ruthless in this sport. This organization doesn't owe anything to Mrazek.

Mrazek is a pro, he knows he hasn’t been nearly good enough and if he didn’t think that the team wasn’t going to position themselves at the deadline as best they can to make an impactful change to address what’s been a liability if one came available he’s just not being honest to himself.

Exactly.
He's a tandem goalie that they signed to be in a tandem, and he hasn't held up his part of the deal.
He might have been shocked at the waiver move, but deep down he knows he hasn't been good enough.
The good news for everyone involved, including Petr - he's going to get another opportunity to turn things around.
It's upto him to handle it

just because some of us see reality better than others doesn't mean the team makes us unhappy.

no different than loving everything the leafs do doesn't make you a better fan.

Does loving everything your children do make you a better parent? I look at it the same way, sure sometimes they tick me off but I temper my disapproval.
 
Let’s go!!!!

the way people talk about this guy sometimes just blows my mind

The year Mrazek won the Calder Cup with Grand Rapids he went 15 - 9 with 4 SO's 2.31 GAA and a .916%

so he's got it in him and he knows how to win
