I get it your justification is Washington won the cup and Leafs finished ahead of them because of goal differential. So Leafs > Washington or the same.

Contenders get tagged for consistency for MULTIPLE years.

14-15 45 Wins
15-16 56 Wins
16-17 55 Wins
17-18 49 Wins

When the Leafs can do that, I will call them a contender.

And im saying if the Leafs sign JT they will do that.
They might do it without signing JT.
They already have a head start.

At least we agree on 1 thing, the Flyers arent contenders.

So when the pens won their first Stanley Cup they weren't contenders?

And when the hawks and kings won theirs they weren't contenders either?

Bahl is a giant LHD (6'6.5" and only 17) 230 lbs that

doesn't really turn my crank.

i'd put Mattias Sauemlsson in with the other dmen we've mentioned, as a big shut down guy. meaner, more skill, physical and a better skater than bahl i think.

Nope or their 3rd, but you don't have to be a contender to win the cup. They turned themselves into contenders after they won, but again special circumstance since they bottomed out to get the super talent they did.

Leafs do not have the talent of either of the Penguin teams (92 or 2006).

Did you watch any of the Leafs Boston series?
With fair reffing they would have won.

He once told all Leafs fans to learn the CBA. The longest contract that could be handed out was 5 years.











He then went into hiding after the predictive what the (frank) are you talking about Glak ?

There's a difference between being called a LEGIT contender for the Stanley Cup and being called a CHAMPION.

Remember I never said you have to be a contender to win a cup, I am just going by what would be the logical use of the term "Legit Contender".

Tampa Bay is a legit contender, have they won the cup? Nope, by they have been a high favorite to win for many years now, not after one decent year. Boston is a legit contender, how long has it been since they won a cup? They are a top team year after year, not after one decent season.
