The Toronto Maple Leafs finally broke their losing skid and won a game, but it is going to take more than that to win back the fan base.
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat a depleted and downtrodden Chicago Blackhawks team and were basically in a lose /lose situation. They were expected to win, which they did (in overtime) and if they lost it would have been disastrous.
The Leafs avoided disaster, though, and walked away with two points, maybe calming the flames of the fan base just a little. There are still many fans that are calling for major changes and, more emphatically, major trades.
