The Leafs are the BEST team in the NHL!!!!

Now that I have everybody’s attention I have some important stuff to say about my Leafs. I have loved the Leafs for a long, long time and it’s really starting to wear on me when people bash the Leafs. I get that they aren’t the best team and that’s it’s disappointing when they don’t make it to the playoffs, yet again… but honestly people enough is enough!
The Leafs have something that seems to be lacking in the NHL the hockey fans that just wont quit! The thing is I am disgusted by some of the things I hear coming out of “real” fans mouths. Come on people fairweather fans are what the Sens or the Habs have, not the Leafs.
Instead of saying “oh wow, the Leafs lost yet another game they absolutely SUCK” look at it realistically. The Leafs may have lost another game, and sure that is not a great feeling, but some nights their playing isn’t bad at all, in fact even in the game last night they played really well, they just got OUTPLAYED by Boston. Outplayed is definitely something that people should take into consideration when talking about the Leafs. I mean seriously, we aren’t the best team in the league, but just because we lose doesn’t mean we suck.
Another thing that really bugs me about Leafs fan are those who feel entitled, I have yet to meet a fan of ANY team in the NHL (granted my range at the moment is small living where I am) that will say, “ok yea, maybe my team didn’t deserve to win, did you see how great that goal was on the other team?” Give the other players credit where they deserve credit!
Finally, the Leafs are my team. I have supported them for as long as I can remember. So if you are going to bash MY team (like so many have done before)…. I’d prefer that you’d just LEAF me alone!

Very true, “losing” a game doesn’t always mean a sloppy game.
Nice post
Thing is they are stepping it up. It may not seem like it but I have done comparisons between this time last year and this time this year and we are doing a little better! It is going to take a long time to get where we used to be. But you can’t deny that they are trying hard!
Leafs are cool but need to start steppin’ up. I dont know about you girl, but it’s frustrating to love them so much and sometimes feel like they dont love you back
Glad you enjoyed! I am extremely passionate about my Leafs! If you liked this you should see my other post!
Alix,
I saw your post on the leaf website. I could not agree more girl! The leafs have a large fan base, and true, these fans may be let down from time to time, but heck, they are our love, our team, and our passion. Everyone’s negative should be the thing that is LEAFed out of the conversation. The leafs represent a nationality, we have the maple leaf, it’s part of Canada. Great post. I was nodding the whole time! Go leafs go
