Toronto Maple Leafs: 4 Things That Could Go Wrong

After a 2016-2017 season where almost everything went right for the Toronto Maple Leafs, lets look ahead to 2017-2018 and what could possibly go wrong.

Before last season, most Toronto Maple Leafs fans had grown used to a culture of pessimism and doubt surrounding their team. 50 years of futility will do that to a fan base.

The Leafs now have the team the fans have been waiting decades for. It seems everyone is excited and optimistic about the direction the team is heading in. I firmly believe that the Toronto Maple Leafs are poised to take another step forward next season as the team grows into a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.

That said, it’s hard to be an optimist when you’re a Leafs fan.  In this piece I will digress back to my negative ways and take a closer look at things that could prevent this team from building on the success of last year.

So let’s temporarily take off those blinders, put the brown bags back over our heads and dive into four things that could go wrong this season.
