The Leafs haven't been miserable for all those years, they are often far more entertaining than that. My brother-in-law is a Leafs fan and one of my annual pleasures is watching him agonize as they start out well, then start to fade, rally a bit and be in playoff position and then, just barely, miss the playoffs once again. Their ability to miss the playoffs every year while not actually sucking enough to get a good draft pick is really a treat.
I thought they were actually going to make the playoffs this year considering how well Phil Kessel was playing but they have done a brilliant job of screwing it up again. The situation in Winnipeg is awesome. My wife's parents live there and the city has been ecstatic. Admittedly, they play in a crappy division, but still, they are winning some games and making the playoffs the first year back in Winnipeg is a big big deal there.
