I don't get why y'all act like i'm ####ting on the kitchen table here. I am far away from the first person to even point out how consistently mediocre/ middling we are. I'm not even trying to be argumentative, but let's be real! We've had one cinderella run over 30 years. It's not like we've got organizational pride to consider here.

Do you consider the Leafs to be in the mushy middle?
Your stance seems to be based on believing that the entire last 30 years is indicative of what the team will do in the future. That ignores the fact that there have been different approaches taken at different times, and that the organization seems to be doing some things differently now, then under the previous management.
Everyone knows this is not a successful franchise for the most part. But I don't know how relevant that is to what they are doing right now or what they will do in the future.
