Well, if you’re a Toronto Maple Leafs fan who’s disappointed that they can’t be more successful, you can take solace in the fact that their farms are at least in the playoffs.
Where the Maple Leafs have failed, the Toronto Marlies of the AHL and the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL have succeeded. It’s at least a little bit of hope for an organization that looks like it has a long road back to the playoffs.
The Marlies begin round one of the AHL Playoffs today against the Grand Rapids Griffins. It is sure to be an interesting series.
