If people keep buying your junk or bad food why would you change it?
Experience is what you gain when you didn't get what you wanted.
Many are called but only a few are chosen.

At a recent Leafs/Cunucks game at the ACC, Vancouver had transportation issues and couldn't make the game.
the ref told the Leafs, to make it an official game, he had to drop the puck and a goal had to be scored. The Leafs took to the ice and were credited with a 1-0 loss after Phil Kessel scored on his own net two minutes into the third period.

The Leafs do not have a spending issue or lack thereof, they spend at or near the cap all the time. They have a TALENT issue. It also hurts when you pay a #3 or #4 blueliner $7 million a year, or 5.25 million for a guy who scored 5 goals last year (Clarkson, he does have 10 so far this season).

The issues of the Leaf franchise go far beyond talent or spending. They have an issue attracting talent which is rooted in the city itself. Players get run out of town on a rail from Toronto because the average Toronto fan thinks they are a hockey guru who can play the game better than the talent, coach better than the coach or manage the team better than the manager and they all have different ideas on how to accomplish this and they are all extremely vocal about it (I can't count how many times I would listen to AM640 back when they had a show called Leafs Lunch and the number of knuckleheads who kept saying the Leafs should give Tie Domi the captaincy when he was playing). So you now have to pay more money for sub-par talent to fill out your roster.

Personally I'm so sick of the Maple Leafs pitiful performance over the years I pay zero attention to them now, most franchises don't even start playing at 100% till they are in the play offs so that's when I start watching hockey, no fear you'll see the Leafs playing at that point. The best thing that could happen to the Leafs is another Ontario city close by gets a team, Hamilton perhaps, when people have a choice on where to go you might then see an impact on ticket sales in TO.

I PVR the game, and check my phone app to see when any (if any) goals were scored.
I then fast forward and do my own little "highlite" thing.
The Leafs have been mostly crap for years but this year is the first I actually have no interest what so ever.
Really don't know what the answer is......there are too many areas needing a fix.
Think I'll take the wife to a dinner and movie this Saturday....now that is a first for a Saturday night!!!!!

The players will have to start selling AVON once they stop getting paychecks for poor performance. Oh wait i forgot the Leafs get paid to be poor performers. lol

As someone already said the guys higher up still make the same amount of money so they could careless as fans will keep selling out the arena.
Also stated a lot of players REFUSE to play for Toronto as the fans shun the players if they have a bad game or two. Or as someone stated run them out if town.
Watch when kessel leaves watch he will do better.
the leafs just can't play well together. It's all a scattered mess.

Toronto ticket holders are a sedated group of business men that the company has supplied tickets. They are afraid to make noise, and are more into the business section of the Globe and Mail. Air Canada Centre is like a funeral home when the leafs play and rightfully so, the team has no spirit. If you were a player, can you get up for a crowd that basically dead!The fans at the ACC have no spirit. The fans that give a moral support can not afford or get tickets. Bring in the Raptors to the ACC the place erupts, ticket prices are as high but different clientele; younger and boisterous. Journey two hours south to Buffalo and again a spirited crowd, loud , into the game and brings out the emotion on the players.
Punch Imlach told Ballard when fired that the Sabres would win the Stanley cup before the leafs. It may be a long time for the leafs as the Sabres are again rebuilding.
I believe they should have a ground hog come out at the ACC and tell us how many more weeks of hockey.
