The Toronto Maple Leafs season is underway, so let the predictions, begin!
Is this season going to be any different than any other Toronto Maple Leafs season? Should I unload my life savings on this team to win the finally win the Stanley Cup, or could they fail to make the playoffs?
That's the beauty about sports. Although we think we're experts and can predict the future, that never happens. Well, except if you said the Leafs will lose during Game 7 of the First Round. As much as I'd hate for that to happen, I just assume they'll lose in the most disappointing fashion once again and break our hearts.
This roster is so talented, yet this year feels different. Although the coach is new, I haven't felt the same excitement for this season, as year's past. It's definitely because the player's haven't changed and until one of the core-four get's traded, then I can't seem to find the same excitement.
Even when this team goes on long winning streaks, the continuous disappointment from this core has scarred some of my fandom. Maybe that will change when this season gets started, but as of right now, my excitement level is at about a 2 out of 10.
Here are five predictions for the 2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs season.
