That wasn't really a blanket statement on for all Leafs fans. But the fact remains that every season all the games sell out. I'm pretty sure that Leafs tickets are the most expensive throughout the league and yet our team is garbage. Not only that but people are more than willing to pay the ridiculous amounts of money that it costs to go to a game. What real incentive, other than bonus money, does upper management have to build a Stanley Cup team when all they have to do is build a mediocre team and still make a killing? Or, they could just tease all of us and make a team that's good enough to make the playoffs and ultimately lose.

That is the most used and untrue excuse there is....MLSE wants money....money is gained by winning the cup...its one of the only ways to increase profit for them. |
How is it untrue? Yes MLSE wants money and they're getting money. They've been pretty consistent at getting it while still giving their consumers a shitty product. Games are still selling out. They're still charging everyone an arm and a leg for tickets. True, they do stand to make more money if they built a Stanley Cup team cause then they could charge even more outrageous amounts for tickets, but whats the point? Especially when most of your fans will eat up whatever it is that you give them.
They have "Leaf Nation" by the balls and they know it.
