Before I start, I just want to say that I’m a huge fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I’ve been a fan for nearly 30 years. When I was 11 years old, I literally cried myself to sleep when the Leafs lost game 7 against the LA Kings in the 1993 Conference Finals. I bleed blue and white.
Also, there are fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs and then there are “fans” of the Toronto Maple Leafs: fans love the Toronto Maple Leafs while “fans” love to hate the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you’re a fan, this post isn’t about you, so please take no offense.
