Toronto Maple Leafs - Fact and Fiction

1. Plan the parade, the Leafs won a game - Fiction. Sorry, you may not believe it, but Leafs fans are actually quite hard on our team. We are realistic and know our team isn't Stanley Cup calibre YET, but they are definitely moving up the ladder slowly and surely. The plan the parade joke is old and overused. Find some new ammo please.

2. The Leafs missed the playoffs, they must be the worst team - Fiction. The worst team in the NHL has the least amount of points. For information on the team with fewest points, go look at the NHL Standings. The Leafs haven't been the worst team since 1985. Try again.

3. CBC caters to the Leafs - Fact. They do cater to the Leafs, but do you want to know why? Because the Leafs get the most ratings. Whether some folks want to believe it or not, the Leafs have a bigger fan base then any other NHL team. Not to mention that besides Leafs fans, many people who dislike the Leafs watch them to see if they lose, thus increasing their ratings on CBC. You are part of the problem, so stop whining about it!


















4. Toronto Maple Laffs - Fiction. If you check google, or any other search engine, you will find that the team name is the Leafs. Not to mention calling them the Laffs makes any person look quite childish and brings in to question their grammar, or lack there of.










5. The Leafs will make the playoffs this year - Fact. Yes, now I will go bold. I believe the Leafs have the team this year to take 7th spot in the Eastern Conference. I know a lot of people will laugh at this, but I truly believe it. Their offence and defence has great depth and as long as James Reimer plays to par, there Leafs should be able to sneak in this year. If they don't, everyone can come back and reference this blog post. Putting all bias aside, they do have a decent roster and a above average prospect pool. Get used to Toronto being in the post-season, because it is going to become a common occurrence soon enough.
