sorry for being one day late, but Yesterday officially mark 20,000 days since the toronto maple leafs last made an appearance in the the Stanley Cup finals.

Why do leaf fans fall for the same old dog and pony show?

leaf gm brings in a back up goalie from another team.

leaf fans think "finally, we now have a "Starting Goaltender"

back up.... er, starting goalie plays well for a season or a bit longer

players find the "book" on former back up, now playing more regularly

goaltender shows why he was a back up on former team

leafs fail to make playoffs, or lose in first round

rinse lather repeat.
