With the amount of loyalty Leaf fans have shown, you would think they've won a cup every few years... instead of going on a 47 year drought (not even appearing in the finals) and for a good chunk of those years have been nothing but an actual embarrassment. It's rare to see that much loyalty to a team that has given so little back.

I agree. Even with the dry spell that the Habs have had over the last 20 years, it has still been relatively easy to be a Habs fan. And prior to that dry spell, there were regular Stanley Cup parades in Montreal.
Contrast that with the Leafs who have offered nothing more than a constant stream of disappointment and ever more obscenely priced tickets. That pitiful return on emotional and financial investment has to factor into the loyalty equation. Leafs fans definitely take the loyalty crown IMO.
