text: One would almost think MLSE and by extension, the Leafs are on the brink of being a "have not" operation. No need to pity MLSE nor any need to state the obvious. MLSE is a money making machine whose hockey team, like them or not, moves the TV dial much like Tiger did for golf. Now that the Leafs are competitive, the cash registers will be singing this Christmas as fans buy something/anything adorned with the Leafs' logo. Adding in TFC and the Raptors ,it is a safe bet the MLSE Board of Governors will likely not hear any bad news from their accountants anytime soon.
