The Leafs Are Bad

from the National Post via Canada.com,
Reality being what it is, both Ferguson and Maurice are walking a tightrope.
Ferguson has clearly not provided his coach with adequate resources. The Leafs admitted they were looking for an adviser to abet their still-young GM last summer. Momentum towards making a change is growing. And, it’s implausible that the club could hire an accomplished replacement for Ferguson without allowing that man to name his own coach.
Management and coaching changes in mid-stream are not unusual - already, this season, Atlanta, Dallas and Washington have fired employees who were in place to begin the schedule. The Leafs will probably will do the same, barring a dramatic and quick reversal of fortune.

People are in denial. As a (sad) fan, I wanted to believe this team had the parts to return to the playoffs - doesn’t look like it. I think everyone was willing to give this group (I include the GM and coach) 20 or so games. We are at 24 now…
I still think they are good enough talent wise, but their system and effort are lacking for sure.
It is time.
