It's the constant disappointment, the fact we have not improved in any way regardless of how good we look on paper, we're still the same team that can't get out of the first round.
I am actually blown away but you can actually see a crack in the Toronto Maple Leaf fan base right now, and I'm actually kind of proud, that we are no longer content following blindly and paying for a terrible product, they have treated us like a renewable resource for too long, and finally we are sick and tired, there are kinks in the armor.
I know I care less about this year than I did last year after that cowardly display in the playoffs, and personally I don't think our team on paper this year is as good as last years, I'm banking on the stars improving and having Tavares to help us get over that first round hump (not looking good so far).
So yes, I'm dejected, disappointed, angry, upset, I mean it's the same Leafs with different names on their jerseys, why can't we ever get a true leader? It's a joke at this point.
I'll continue to support my team but my hearts not in it like it used to be, I've never cared about being the laughingstock of the league but enough is enough, you got spanked 7-1 against an AHL team, that is David Aryes level pathetic.
If we don't get out of the first round this year I have zero issues blowing it all up, that is just too long, after this season we only have Matthews for two more years, let that sink in, pathetic.
That's how i felt before Saturdays loss.
This is how I feel now.
They've betrayed me too many times now, not even being able to bounce back, get your head on straight and win one game after that embarrassing effort in Pittsburgh?
I'm out, I'll stat watch for a bit but I'm not wasting anymore time watching this team.
They are not a stanley cup contending team and that was the whole point of all of this, it's clear as day this roster cannot win the cup, no heart and soul, no character and the fill ins for the losses because of our massive contracts are simply not good enough.
It's over, team needs a revamp, sad thing is we won't do it until after we probably won one round in the playoffs and then get destroyed in the 2nd round, god I hope that doesn't give management too much hope.
Anyways, I'm not as passionate as I was before, this franchise has been through hell and other than Spezza I don't feel a single person on that team gives a flying F about how I feel about the Maple Leaf.
Entitled little pricks, Kane and Toews earned their contracts after cups, these brats took us to the cleaners before achieving anything.
Pathetic.
