For a bit more perspective. There are a lot of leaf fans that were in diapers the last time they won the cup, and they'll be in diapers again the next time they do it.

Being born in 65, I have to admit I am one of those Leaf fans. LOLFor a bit more perspective. There are a lot of leaf fans that were in diapers the last time they won the cup, and they'll be in diapers again the next time they do it.

There are a lot of old leaf fans that have requested the leafs as pallbearers, so they can let them down one last time.

I'll give you guys some optimism...... I grew up a Habs fan. All my buddies are split habs/leafs. We've been chirping each other our whole lives, but I've seen my team win 2 cups....
I honeslty don't really give a crap about professional stick and ball sports anymore. Only thing I really watch and follow is MotoGP (just finished watching the Jerez GP right now). Still enjoy playing all sports (hockey, baseball, golf) , but don't watch or follow anything anymore beyond picking up the gist of it from the radio and other chatter. I just don't have the time and interest anymore.
To see the perpetual optimism from leaf fans though is something...........

In my case I don't think optimism has a lot to do with it. Its just a matter of being behind the local team and loving the sport. I grew up playing hockey on the local pond with the local kids. Loved every second of it.I'll give you guys some optimism...... I grew up a Habs fan. All my buddies are split habs/leafs.

I stopped watching the leafs when they bought into pyramid power hokum. I stopped watching the jays when the team management announced that they'd won a few series and had decided to coast on their laurels for a few years rather than trying to retain expensive free agents
I never understood people who tie their own, and their community's sense of self worth to the success of sports teams. psst looking right at you Russia...
