What happens if the Toronto Maple Leafs don't go deep in the playoffs?

[Chet Manley]

It's pretty amazing how much money this franchise leaves on the table by not having deep runs. Playoff home game revenue is all gravy. Leafs' fans would spend a ton on them and buy merch celebrating any season making it to the third round. I still have a VHS tape from their awesome '93 cup run.. I paid money for a tape to basically reminisce making it to the 3rd round.

There is zero evidence that Albert Einstein ever said this.

The parade planning committee gets retained for next year and AM34’s hairline gets worse. Outside of that, we’ll hear next year how they’re cup contenders even if playoffs end the same spot annually.

The Shanna Plan stays on track. Give Marner his $14.5m x 8. And Tavares $9.5 x 3

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.

Assuming they get knocked out in the first or second, it will be the same thing with trade everybody until the next season when Toronto goes 4-0 to start the season and there's 8 threads about this is the year lol

I do honestly hope they go deep this year, I could careless for the players ( mostly Matthews ), but their fans deserve it

Want to point out those threads? The only threads made about the Leafs this year have all been negative. That is factual. Not a single Leaf fan is parading around like this is the year.

Obvious thread is obvious

I don`t know, but I do know it will be Bettmans fault.

That and taxes

The bar seems to be "win cup" or the Leafs season is considered a failure. If they make the conference finals, or even the finals, they will still be considered losers. Even if they win the cup, I'm sure a handful of people here would complain that they cheated or 'did it wrong'.

It's funny when all the fans of the league's bottom feeders switch over to cheering for the Leafs to fail this time of year because their team is so far out of it that they're basically irrelevant for the rest of the season.
