So history back when it was 6 total teams? Because that's when you guys last won a cup... I'm talking in your lifetime and my lifetime. I never once said the sabres were relevant or a team with great history. Since the sabres joined the NHL the Leafs cup count and Sabres cup count is at zero... But anyways when comparing the Leafs and Sabres since the late 90's and all of the 2000's the Sabres have definitely been the more relevant team and there is no way you can deny that. Sabres have one of the biggest fanbases in the NHL when comparing them to the other AMERICAN teams.
And yes choke as in you guys had game 7 in the bag and chocked BIG TIME. Why? Because the Leafs are pretenders not contenders. Also just a stat you might find interesting. Toronto had the worst puck possession time out of all the teams in the playoffs. In fact Toronto was the only team to make it last year that was out possessed in games. Generally if your team is out possessed your not gonna win... So with that being said its kind of a miracle that they even got into the playoffs. I fully expect a set back this year in Toronto. Regardless of the nice 3-0 start to the season.

Oh boy, another advanced stat lover.
Let me know when those possession stats take into account shot quality... see, the style of game the Leafs play(box other team out, get in close to their net) results in a pretty poor shot differential... but it wins games.
