While there are the hashtags #TMLTalk and #LeafsForever, it's #MapleLaffs, #MapleOafs or #TorontoMakeBeliefs that better reflect the bitter reality.

The ineptitude of this franchise has got to be the worst in all North American team sports.

So many other teams have figured out how to win for their fans.

Leafs? Befuddled. Clueless.
