Very little. I hate so many other teams before them. "Hate" is too strong. They are our divisional rivals and I'd hate them more if they beat us in a playoff round because we'd never hear the end of it but other than that...I don't care if they win the cup even, as long as they don't eliminate us to do it.
Why would they get the 1st overall? They're not Edmonton/Buffalo/Carolina bad...My hate leveI towards the leafs has decreased over the Phaneuf era. Just hilarous !
Still, if they draft Connor McDavid it will be easy to hate them again.

Its a lottery. They could rig it! Also they just fired their head coach, like Ottawa.
Watch the Sens and Leafs tank now...
I don't hate the Leafs. I hate the media wh0re$ that cover them like there's only one team north of the border.
Don't get me wrong, it's a little sweeter beating the Leafs than say the Panthers. But, that's as far as it goes.
Man, pity the Leaf fan you meet in a dark alley ....or maybe notI hate the laffs with a passion. It is partly media driven and partly the ineptitude of the franchise and their fans (not all their fans, just the annoying ones). Living my whole life out west in AB and BC it is amazing all the Toronto based propaganda we get. Do I really care what Brian McCabe ate for breakfast on the first day of free agency???? Or what time his bowel movement was that allowed said breakfast to enter the GTA sewer system??? Do I really need sportcenter to open the show with 15 minutes of laffs news ON A DAY WHERE THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A GAME??? Burke was the biggest blowhard bully of anybody I have ever seen. What, you think Phruitneuf is overrated and a bad trade? I'll show you, I'll make him captain. Great move Burke, you showed everybody didn't you? Oh who is the next greatest goalie in the NHL? Maybe Scrivens? Maybe Reimer? Bernier? Giguere? Toskala? Oh wait its "The Monster". How about actually having a decent goalie for a few years instead of 20 games before you anoint him/her the next Roy, Dryden or Brodeur?? Do kids in Canada really need to be subjected to the blue and white plague of failure and mediocrity every Saturday on what used to be called Hockey Night in Canada but in the 80's/90's somehow morphed into Hockey Night in Toronto? I think not. The ONLY thing the laffs have to play for every year is to beat the Habs at something. They aren't making the playoffs so if they win the season series against the Habs or somehow play spoiler with the Habs and their playoff aspirations, its a banner year in laffland. I hate them. A LOT!!! Sorry for any spelling/grammatical errors, no time to proof read.
Not as much as the bruins. Even the senators I might hate more than the leafs.
