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.
