It has to do with Leaf Nation types just accepting the salary cap, from the richest group in the NHL who, like say NYY or RSox, have the $$$$ to always ice a strong competitive team to contend for the cup almost every season.

It has to do with lots of things that have nothing to do with what a team's record is over its last 9 games.

There are plenty of good reasons why some of us cannot stand Your Leafs, Leafs Nation and they have nothing to do with the boxscore, boys.  Nothing.

Now, you guys, you makes sure you're all wearing your #34 jerseys this weekend, MLSE knows you are......

Will this help Your Leafs fans understand?  Hardly.
