Seriously. Millions and millions of dollars are at stake here and people think the collective group running the Leafs can't see what they gleaned through their copious brilliance picked up at beer league and minor midget.
I am also amazed by this. I enjoy the message board and I also enjoy the banter between fans of any sport. I just don't think that I know better or that a team's problems can be fixed with the simple change on the powerplay. The workings that go on to make the machine known as the Leafs operate is incredible. The tireless hours put in formulating a plan by management and a staff is crazy. The time put in by the players to stay in shape and improve as players is incredible. To think they just don't care, or are losing on purpose mind boggling.
