The Leafs wont win the cup, because they don't need to win the cup.
Imagine how much hustle MLSE would put on the ice if they had the turnout of Jays games. |

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. |

one thing id like to get clear is that not all leaf fans are idiotic diehard supporters that waste their free time watching on skates and moan about it, feel burned, continue to watch and bitch about it.
i dont watch games regularly. these days its down to scimming thru a recording hoping we get blown out or maybe to watch another teams star player.
im basically just saying that were not all suckers that are fully to blame for the the leafs current state.
essentially the business model is wrong and honestly how long can the board believe that peddie is making the correct hockey choices when literally everything he's done in that regard has failed?
id have more respect for him if he just came out and admitted that he is not the best person to run the hockey operation....in the same way he recently did with the raps and look at them. |

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.

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 ty 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. |

i think it sbeen established that most of the patrons in the stands are not exactly fans but clients or employees of corporations and what not.
just beacause they fill the building does mean that they dont want to have their product to be as good as possible.
these people must have some sense of pride!
well maybe not peddie lol |
