I dont care about Leafs fans players evaluation.
IMO the reason they are hated is claims of being a contender without anything to show for it. It's not overfidence, it's arrogance.
Taking a lot of my news from Sportsnet, I mostly blame the media coverage for puting this idea in the fans head. The coverage is just ridiculous, it's cheerleading in a suit 24/7. Like no other team exist.
As for your Washington argument, that team had plenty of half succesfull runs before winning the cup, building on their previous experiences to get to play the right way and eventually go all the way. Appart from the occasional cinderella story, thats how you become a contender. TML is nowhere near that status, but at square 1: win a damn round.
