Leaf Nation Divided

Even after losing 13 of their last 14 games, the Maple Leafs could be a point out of a playoff spot by tomorrow evening if all goes well. This losing streaking has divided Leaf Nation into two parts.

Part one makes up the group who are stilling holding out for a last ditch playoff effort. They believe that sooner or later, the losing streak will end and open up to a winning streak. The two games this weekend will determine a lot for this group of fans. Two loses and they may change their opinion. Two wins and it's business as usual.

Part two is known as "Tank Nation." A group that largely believes this team is not playoff bound and would benefit greatly if they finished in the bottom 5 and drafted a highly touted player.

As of this moment I fit in Tank Nation. I can't see this team going on a big run to end the year and the high end talent in this draft is too much to pass up. If Toronto did go on a long run and made the playoffs, I would be ecstatic.

For now though, I will keep my expectations low. 15 games left. Lets see what happens.
