I am a life long supporter of The Toronto Maple Leafs, and I feel that AM is a little bit the same as my beloved Leafs.
I think they still have a chance.
As much as I would love to see this as well, neither the Leafs nor Asicminer will ever win the Stanley Cup again. The Leafs don't need to as they are the most valuable NHL franchise without even having to make it into the playoffs - why spend the money on a winning team? Just imagine if they did start winning; tickets would be even more unaffordable for mere mortals!
As far as Asicminer, they only ever had one star player (and it seems he was also the entire team) but he's gone like Bill Barilko.
