Yeah true, I guess I'm more referencing how Leafs fans traditionally are seen, and how they can be when things are going very well. I agree especially in recent years there's a lot of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" with that fanbase now going into the playoffs even when things look good, similar to Flames fans. Greaser fans live in an entirely different reality.
