They will win within 3 years. The Leafs have figured out that it takes good draft picks to build a team. Over the last 4 years they have drafted well and have not traded away the future.
Last year John Ferguson Jr. did not bow to the pressure to sign a bunch of old has-beens at trade deadline. They kept the team as is and even though they did not make the playoffs the Leaf fans that have stuck with the team though good and bad realize that any team can not win every year and if the future looks better that is a good thing. Sundin will sip from the Stanley Cup playing for the Leafs before he retires and Raycroft will still be there and both will be full of shits and giggles.
In response to turdtapper. The Leafs will win before your favourite team, the San Francisco 69'ers. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
