By Tim Chiasson
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a lightning rod for criticism and there’s no better place for fans – and media members – to voice their opinion than Twitter.

This week, we’re going with ten tweets from during, and after, last night’s loss to the New Jersey Devils.
Some are funny, and they’re all depressing.
The bottom line is this: regardless of winning or losing you can always turn to Twitter to find hundreds of people that are spending their time chastising the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Let’s start with a fun one – complete with image.
Lol #tanknation is trending #TMLtalk pic.twitter.com/cr7tCEwore

The fact that #tanknation was trending shouldn’t surprise you, Ricky. If the Leafs were associated with ketchup then ketchup would start trending. Nice work on the picture, it’s nice to see Phil smile again.
Toronto's push to get into the McEichel race is an impressive one.

Yes, Adam, it is impressive. The Leafs ability to fall so far down the standings may be their most impressive feat in years.
It's official.. This is the worst Maple Leaf team in history. Wow #TMLtalk @MapleLeafs @LeafsSociety

Way to stay positive, Leaffan1970. They certainly have the longest losing streak in team history – but that has a lot to do with poor luck and isn’t a true reflection of the team. I’d hold off on “worst Maple Leaf team in history”.
Jeff, I’m not sure what’s more depressing. The fact that you’re right, or that you took the time to do this.
That’s a lot of our lives, Braeden. 82 night’s a year lately.
And the list of jersey tossing teams hits three.
#TMLtalk well seriously considering giving up my tix next season

If you’re a real fan then you’re not, MTHL. Stop trying to get retweets and favorites. Teams go through droughts, struggles and the like. Real fans don’t quit on their team over a massive string of bad luck.
#Leafs the sun will shine again one day and the hockey gods will look favourable upon the #Leafs one day #TMLtalk #LeafsNation stay positive

Preach it Adam. Lost in the thousands of negative tweets towards the Leafs are these little slivers of hope. Keep up the good work, Mr. Kelsey.
Alright, enough of this. Bring DG back. I don't care how old he is or how slow. #Pride #93 #Leafs #TMLTalk #Toronto pic.twitter.com/sYHhSCzSrz

Wouldn’t it be nice, Paul? I do wonder, though, just how comfortable in the OHL Dougie is, and if he’s considering a step up to the NHL. The Leafs
could
will have some openings very soon.
Alright, Roman. If you ever read this post I want to know why you’re watching the Maple Leafs at McDonalds. This isn’t even a great tweet, but I’d really like to know why.
There you have it, Leafs Fans.
Ten (minus Roman’s confusing one) amusing tweets from during and after last night’s record setting loss to the New Jersey Devils.
I promise that these will only get more humorous, depressing and angry if the losing streak continues.
