It’s time to ask the question – what if these Leafs just aren’t good enough? Globe_Sports

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Maybe the Leafs are just bad.

On the NBC broadcast, former NHLer Ben Lovejoy was laughing at them during the intermission: “I had a friend who used to say that playing against Toronto is good for your brand.”The most important player on the ice from Toronto’s perspective was Sidney Crosby. Not because Crosby played like he could’ve taken entire shifts on his own and still managed to get an assist. But because he is the sort of player the Leafs thought they were buying multiples of over the past couple of years.

A couple of months ago, the Leafs identified their problem: the coach. Too surly. Too boring. Too mean. The Leafs made sure everybody heard all about it once he was gone. This is like your mechanic saying to you, “It’s not the car’s fault it doesn’t work. It’s your fault for not yelling at it enough.”

Globe_Sports What if? WHAT IF!? You cancel the parade yet? Someone's delusional.

Globe_Sports I'm sure they will all offer to take a salary cut.

Globe_Sports “Ya but look at my hair”

Globe_Sports Better question is who actually thought they were a contender in the first place?

Globe_Sports “What if” ?

Globe_Sports They aren’t. They’re better than the recent stretch but not elite. But I’m still having fun. They are young, evolving, which is better than about a 30 year run starting in the 70s.

Globe_Sports That’s an easy one!! THEIR. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Globe_Sports They aren't. Anderson is playing terrible and their defence stinks has all season. If they make the playoffs and that's a big if they will go out in the first round. Firing Babcock was not the solution to the problem.

Globe_Sports Doesn’t bother me. :)

Globe_Sports They're not... We know this as fans... We accept that there may be a time in the future when they will be and we hold on.
