Is This Really Happening? Maple Leafs

[HarrisonFord]

I can think of no reason I'd bandwagon the Leafs.

What about if you guys had a fan draft like Carolina and you were forced to?

 

[Beautvillier]

there is a confirmed zero percent chance i will support the leafs

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

There's supposed to be no anti-leafs bias on this site, why is it so hard to find bandwagoners?

Because there is an anti-leaf bias on the site we are very hated

 

[Fallschirmyager]

i hope everyone hates the leafs. better that way

Hate the leafs? No. Some of their fans are over the top entitled for no reason which is annoying. Unfortunately, they're also the loudest.

 

[WillTheThrill]

We're here to ****in take over. Leaf haters, this next decade will not be fun for you

 

[TheGroceryStick]

There is nothing cool about being rewarded for being bad and hard tanking. But there is no doubt that they have some exciting young players.

You must be a Redwings fan...I am on mobile so I can't see Avatar or anything.

Basically the only successful team to not use the Draft as the source of propelling a team.

 

[Plante]

It's a national past time to make fun of the Leafs, so I don't see it happening.

 

[aufheben]

Thought the title was about them making the playoffs. What are you even asking? lol

More people will cheer against the Leafs than for the Leafs.

Toronto will get enough casual bandwagon fans once they get in always happens in the city, brace yourselves

I'm going to disagree with that as a Bruins fan.

And I'll also add the Devils before the Red Wings.

 

[Liminality]

I sure hope not.

I'd go Full Lindros.


I bandwagon only when I have reason. If you guys signed Kimmo Timonen, then I wouldn't go Full Lindros.

A Bruins fan from Montreal. There was literally zero possibility you could do anything except for hate the Leafs . That's ok though!

Frankly, Toronto has a lot of very loud fans, and the sheer number of them means there is a lot more really intolerable ones than there are for most other teams. So I can understand the hate around the league, but it comes with the territory *shrug*. Still, I feel like the hate makes being good and winning more special, as you can count on many other teams trying to put up their A game when the Leafs are in town.

There are enough bandwagoners in Toronto itself that we really don't need anyone outside of Toronto to jump on as well. Just look at the Jays and Raptors since both teams have been decent.

 

[Syckle78]

I could never bandwagon toronto because of the fan base. I really like their young players and they're an exciting young team but I will always hope for them to fail in the playoffs.

Would you like some more salt there buddy?

 

[Crosbyfan]

It would be ironic/iconic if the new "under the hill gang" can do in Canada's 150th year, what the "over the hill gang" did back in 1967.

 

[NoShowWilly]

**** no. that said you have a very large dormant group of fans that are waking up. May feel like the world is jumping on.

 

[Apotheosis]

Maybe not on HF (too much hatred because we're by far the largest fan base in the world), but easily in real life. It's very easy to back a young, skilled team on the rise that already has the largest fan base.

 

[Menzinger]

If you think the Leafs are a likable bandwagon team then you are delusional

It's a team full of young budding stars who play an offensive game - theyre incredible likeable, especially to a casual fan POv

 

[bob27]

Cool team with an unfortunate fanbase. Could pull Colorado and go back to basement though.

 

[HarrisonFord]

I'd go Full Lindros.

You'd have to throw 5-6 of your fellow Flyer fans over to us as payment to go full Lindros on us. Are you really willing to do that to your own kind? ****, Kimmo right now would be an upgrade on Marincin so maybe we would

 

[Blender]

No chance I ever bandwaggon for the Leafs.
