I think a playoff spot is very possible. But "ending the drought" generally implies the Cup - which is why Leaves fans have been perpetually funny for decades now. The minute the team does well in the short term, suddenly "this is the year!". Hence, parade route jokes that never stop being funny.

Gotta love the hate from the flames/canucks/habs fans though!
It's not hate, it's an understanding of the reality of the situation. Getting excited about your team doing well is one thing. Predicting a post-season berth is all well and good. But forecasting a team that hasn't made the post-season at all in 6 years and hasn't even made it to the final in over 40 to suddenly win the cup on the basis of 12 games?

Laughable doesn't even begin to describe it. It's just pure batshit insanity. Let's talk in February and see how they're doing.
