The bar for success was set ridiculously low for this team and it still failed to meet it. In any other organization, that would signal change, but apparently not in Toronto
I've been dumbfounded by the reactions I receive when suggesting to Leafs fans that they lacked the 3rd and 4th lines to do anything in the playoffs. They bring up goal stats for Mikheyev and other trivialities, but betray their pride in mediocrity. It's like they all have munchausen syndrome by proxy. Except, instead of sympathy, the world craps on their heads.
Will the Maple Leafs be same old, same old in 2022-23?

Insightful, clear, and compendious!
