Why my Favourite Team Sucks...

So yeah... my favourite team, the Toronto Maple Leafs stunk it up. They 2nd in their division and above the wildcard spots. The way the playoffs work now is that the top 3 from each division make it and then the next best 2 in the conference (wildcard) make it to the playoffs. Then they lose 8 straight games.... and now they aren't going to make the playoffs again.

On top of that, they're spending 5.5 million dollars a year on this player who hasn't panned out and that'll set the team back for years. Despite being the richest team in the league, Toronto still has to adhere to the salary cap so he is taking up a lot of room. On top of that the advanced metrics people were writing articles on how "umm, you shouldn't sign this guy for this amount for SEVEN years". Our general manager then responded that they don't believe in advanced metrics :glare:

So yeah, somehow, the Toronto Maple Leafs have went from young playoff darlings last year to it looks like they could contend to it looks like they are screwed for a while :P
