Just because MLSE believes a sucker is born every minute, it doesn't appear as though the population of Toronto is buying it. They may think everything they touch is gold, based upon their results with the Leafs, which are really just results that were made by the fans love of the Leafs, but reality is hitting them in their face hard. Lets see if they begin to get it.

Back in the 80s, the Leafs sold out every game, even though they sucked. But you could still get tickets to a game for a relatively affordable price. When the 90s came the Leafs started being successful. In the very early 90s you would still get made fun of being a Leaf fan, they were that bad. But after that 93 run, everything changed. People jumped back on the bandwagon and haven't jumped off since, even through the very lean years of late. It became a really big deal to go to a Leaf game, and MLSE ran with it once they got the reigns of the organization. They are a huge organization with loads of cash, that they really didn't have to earn, so what do they really know about something that doesn't already make money? Their model seems to be price everything high, and the sucker born every minute in Toronto will buy it. How far does that really go? I think we are finding out about now.
