In a bit of a grim epiphany, I realized today that I'll be cheering for the Leafs to lose for roughly the next 2 years and started thinking to myself.. when am I going to cheer for them to win again?
When will we know this rebuild is over and that we're committed to icing a competitive team again?
When we have a definitive 1C, 1D and 1G? How do we know these youngsters won't be a flash in the pan? What types of metrics would qualify them as a 1C, etc etc beyond the vague ranking on Hockey's Future?
When we stumble into the playoffs again?
When we start beating winning teams consistently with the advanced stats to back it up?
Your thoughts?
