Toronto has two modes of rooting for the hockey team – unfounded optimism and panic. We’ve switched from one to the other

Once that happens in a season there is no switching back. Now the confrontation begins – coach vs. players; players vs. each other; the fanbase vs. management; management vs. the coach and the players.

It always comes to this with the Leafs, but it usually takes a while. In the past couple of years, the fight didn’t start until everything was over. So maybe this coming struggle of all against all is a good way to shake things up. Probably not, but maybe. Soon enough, someone will say something in a moment of frustration they shouldn’t have and the team will be duking it out with the city.

That confrontation will definitely produce a resolution, though probably not the one the Leafs were imagining a few days ago.

Logan Couture opens, closes for San Jose Sharks in 5-3 win over Toronto Maple LeafsToronto Maple Leafs lose 5-3 to San Jose Sharks as Logan Couture nets two and one assist for the Sharks, while Toronto’s Michael Hutchinson gets his first career start The main thing is that the Leafs be super COVID hypochondriacs on the road in the U.S. and win or lose ( most likely lose) will be suitably finicky Canadian tourists showing contempt for the careless Americans. That should get them a parade down Yonge Street. Why would any one start Hutchinson - not an NHL goalie and where the fu ck was Marner!!!!!!!! Hey hey Dufus has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Not to Mention Captain Give Away Rielly!
