Idiom; to attempt an ill-advised, mildly unpleasant shortcut to avoid a more complicated process, with a high probability of failure. The idiom itself is an example of such an experience, since licking trees is unpleasant, and even maple trees rarely taste sweet just by licking the bark. The idiom also implies that tried and true methods, rather than blind experimentation, yield better results. Drilling into the trunk of a maple tree with a tap, is the correct way to obtain maple syrup.
"Kicking the car to try and make it start again won't work. That's just licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup, honestly. Let's call a tow truck instead."

Get the Licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup mug.One of the original 6 NHL hockey teams with a strong fan base in Toronto and the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area. The most Stanley Cup wins of the NHL next to the Montreal Canadiens who have more then double the Leafs total.
The Leafs last Stanely Cup win was in 1967.
The Leafs are to the NHL what the NewYork Yankess are to MLB considering dollar value, howeve the performance is a different story.
Leafs fans fall into 2 categories:
The first representing the much smaller group of the 2 being those that are extremely devoted and loyal to their "local team" and stay by them regardless of performance, even if they are in a 43 year (and counting) slump. God bless those true blue fans.
The 2nd group of devoted fans are the retards who honestly believe that for some reason the leafs have a reason and desire to win a game. They can commonly be identified by shouting "This is the year! This is the year"
These are the fans who have paid no attention to any other team in the league and for this reason have never made the comparison between the Leafs and a team consisting of real hockey players too see the difference.
The Leafs have the worst 3rd period performance of any team in the NHL. The reason for that being is lack of heart, grit, will and balls.
The leafs exist only as a franchise and buiseness, not as a hockey team. Evedince for this is on CBC during every broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.
