The exact quote by MLSE Ceo Tim Leiweke from that link was ... "The Leafs are close," he said. (Oct 29, 2013)

That was back in 2013, just before Brendan Shanahan was hired as President of the Maple Leafs in April of 2014. In the 9 years since that MLSE statement the Leafs haven't won even a single playoff round.

Now part owner Larry Tanenbaun quote "The Leafs are close," he said. (June 2022)

This just seems like cruel and unusual punishment ( describing punishment that is considered unacceptable due to the suffering, pain, or humiliation of it) for being a Leafs fan.

It may seem (give the impression of being something or having a particular quality.) like that to you. Though I have felt no pain, suffering or humiliation being a Leaf fan. I have felt disappointment after losses ( especially recently) because we have a good team that has not lived up to talent.

They believe that the part of the fanbase that blindly supports everything they do, is bigger than it actually is.

There are far more fans now seeing things for what they are.

Some have lost the plot and care more about getting rid of Dubas than winning games.

I manipulated your quote because I disagree with you. I even commiclly claimed it had been Lol fixed and made up a stupid condition to say that I am right.

At least you are honest. I had figure out what you were saying and help find the words for you, but we can both agree that this is succinct.

Did you think that was funny?

Even more of a (bad) joke than your first post, keep them coming!

How is the condition stupid btw? Because you say so?

This is EXACTLY correct .. but unfortunately he told us arena sponsors recently that he was very happy with Leaf management and reupped Dubie to end of Shanny's deal .. to me now this falls on Larry .. clearly he does not think getting eliminated in playoffs in round 1 for 6 years straight is a big deal .. and no one of those 100-200 sponsors said a negative word about team .. I didn't either .. I make some sales off of it so it is more of a business decision .. and there is still a huge lineup for tickets so I think we are going to continue to get more of same old same old for next 2 years no matter what happens .. maybe just best to ROI my seat license by selling off my tickets next couple years .. I am pretty down about whole thing now

You do realize that when/if this plan of Dubas fails and they end up with no cups it will be brushed away as bad luck ...right? They will say that if not for a few gaffes by Dermott and Gally and Kerfoot etc...they would have won. I wonder who the next guy in line is going to be for the gaffe crown next year.

I don’t follow the CFL or the soccer team so it makes that 93 Jays Championship seem even longer ago.

An organization with a winning culture does not accept mediocrity or failures. In addition, they don't pass on failures as "progress" and do not pat themselves on the back for "effort".

Cassidy Fired (has 1 SCF appearance; boston lost in 1st round he is out)
Trotz Fired (made ECFs twice in a row, did not make playoffs gone)

Now contrast that with the Leafs, especially keeping in mind the way these asshats were talking during exit interviews like they just lost in game 7 of SCF in OT on a bad bounce

with all due respect Tanembaum; you have lost the plot for allowing to continue the BS that is the Shanahan/Dubas/Keefe era

Why do you care what others think of this team or franchise.

I can tell you how much of my life I spend thinking of other franchises - 0.

Let others spend their time thinking of the Leafs if they want, it means nothing.

Tanenbaum doesn't have that power. He's just the public face of ownership and is allowed to represent the team at BoG meetings. Bell & Rogers make the big decisions.

Man I wish I had billions so I can buy MLSE and do it right by the Leafs and fire every jackass from the organization

“We ran into a hot goalie”
“__________ got hurt in the series“
”bad puck luck”
”________ had a bad game 1/2/3/4/5/6/7
“The refs screwed us”

Did I cover the entire Dubas excuse club bingo card or did I miss anything???
