Every now and then I let the two sides of my personality duke it out over the Leafs. So here we go.
Optimist: We’re #1 (at time of writing!) We’re #1 (at time of writing!)
Pessimist: Whoop de doo. The Leafs can win one-quarter of the Presidents’ Trophy. It’s the true test of merit!
Optimist: What more are they supposed to do? They can’t win the Cup in November.
Pessimist: They’re supposed to look like they can win it in June, and does anyone in their right minds believe that?
