Realistic Expectations From a Life-Long Toronto Maple Leafs Fan

If you’re reading this, you’re more than likely a life-long fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Nobody choses to become a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Instead, you’re born with it. Whether you’re from the Greater Toronto Area or have a family member that bleeds blue-and-white, you don’t look at this struggling franchise and say “hey, let’s jump on that bandwagon!”

Every year, from as long as I remember, there’s always a buzz around this time of the year. When you’re tied for first place with the other 31 NHL teams in September, expectations are a lot higher than they are in April.
