Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies is dealing with his team's inadequacy right now, yet somehow, he has rose colored glasses on.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are no good right now, and that is as clear as day. There is no two ways about it, and no one is going to argue.
Having said that, there are some fans out there who believe the team can still make the postseason, despite being eight points back.
Auston Matthews is keeping the faith, and as it turns out, so is Matthew Knies. That said, it really does feel as though Knies' thoughts on the matter are a bit silly.
Matthew Knies on the Leafs' playoff chances
As you will see below, the forward is claiming that he has so much belief in the team that he doesn't even bother to look at the playoff standings.
If he did, he would quickly realize that the Maple Leafs' odds of making it to the postseason are incredibly low, and quite frankly, insulting.
I think there’s still plenty of hockey left, and the standings are tight. I haven’t really paid much attention to them because I’m confident that we’re going to get there.
We just have to focus on each game, and ahead of us are 4 big games on the road, so that’s the main focus.

The Toronto Maple Leafs were in a playoff spot just a couple of weeks ago, but they immediately played themselves out of one in embarrassing fashion.
If you are a Leafs fan, you can't help but be embarrassed by this terrible display from the team, which has been a real humiliation for the fans who watch every night.
There are now talks about rebuilding and blowing up the team. These kinds of talking points should be leaving Leafs fans absolutely horrified.
This is a large fall from grace from last season, and there is no telling whether or not the Leafs will be able to figure it out before it's too late.
