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

[LaCarriere]

The issue isn't the "formula" of building around offensive forwards, it's that if you do build that way, those forwards actually have to show up when it matters. Toronto's biggest issue is their core simply don't show up enough when it matters.

I mean, that can be said for building a two way team, defensive team, team around elite goaltending, etc. I know it's cliche, but if your best players don't show up things will be tough no matter what brand of hockey you're trying to play. Why those guys seem to disappear every playoffs is up for interpretation

Sorry, I missed where those were threads created?

You took sarcastic posts from pre-season GDT thread about it being the year (which is an inside joke to Leaf fans) and several other posts like that.

Hell, the last post you quoted is me saying this is the best chance the Leafs have, NOT that they will do it.

Now that you got caught with receipts… you were just joking?

Same thing we do everyday Pinky…

The context of my post was about how Leaf fans go on the mains and make threads about how this is the year. That hasn't happened at all this season. Every Leaf related thread has basically been negative despite them being 1st in the division 99% of the season.

Of course things are different this year than last year but no Leaf fan is fooled until they do it.

You got cooked bro. At this point, just chill out and let us EAT.

At least the leafs would be respected in the handshake line
