Are the Maple Leafs the most underachieving team in major sports?
A case could be made. So much talent. So little results. For 58 years and counting.
A suffering insufferable fan base.
Any possible explanations?

Extremely entitled fan base. I loved seeing a team from Florida knock them out, at home.
The roster they have is loaded but goaltending is an issue. I would expect them to lose Marner which could be a good thing. He kind of disappeared for games in this series.

Panthers are a good hockey team. So are Carolina and Dallas.
If the NHL babies McDavid they have a shot.

For years they had a major advantage.
Winning Cups in a 6- team league.
Huge market.
No salary cap until 2005.
Hard to understand.

It's inexplicable. Every so often they percolate then fizzle.

They've had a ton of great players.
I get the fierce loyalty of the fans. I just don't get the arrogance.
