Keep celebating that 89 cup. Many Titanic survivors were stil alive!

Solid comeback. Real original. And not even accurate.

Don't think you impressed yourself much with yours either...

Titanic survivors were all dead in 89?

I saw this woman in 1997.

One of these teams does not belong on that list.

Agreed. Not sure why the Leafs were even mentioned?

People are delusional to consider the Leafs a non-contender

One game should have the rest of the NHL shaking in their boots, but 100+ games is too small a sample size to dismiss the luck factor.

Got it.

Your definition of contender is most likely different than most.

NYI is a well-constructed and well-coached team. But the Leafs are a way more exciting collection of hockey cards. Some can't fathom this. In fact, didn't Tanner suggest he would roll 3 lines instead of 4. So that he would have more talent on the roster. Sounds like a good Corsi Cup strategy.

Do you watch the NHL? So many teams have a shot at the cup.

It's funny how people think Leafs are built the "Wrong Way" because they had a coach playing them like they were an expansion team.

You will see the real Leafs now.

The Leafs could possibly go on a run right now. Coaching change sometimes helps that along. BUT if the team falls on its face due to anything are you going to do your usual disappearing act like you did off our thread while they were nose diving? You were so eager to tell us how much we sucked even though we shalacked the Leafs multiple times and the Leafs were all but guaranteed the cup last season and during the off-season. Mysteriously you were absent for the last month and a half. Wonder why?

The real Leafs that hung a rookie goalie out to dry in his 1st NHL appearance because they didn’t like big mean Babcock telling them defense is part of hockey?

Among others I’m sure.

Leafs look much different. I wonder if coaching matters? Apparently not. Must just be luck or the schedule or something. Coaching only matters in like 4 out of 82 games.

I think the Leafs are lucky that they got so lucky the last couple of games.

Coaches don't matter! Lol

Just ask the Isles if Trotz matters, or the Leafs, after two games. Barrie seems to like the switch as well

Yes they did and it's irrelevant now.

By you the way you were talking I’m not talking about anyone who may have half a brain in their head that was saying it. I’m talking about you.

Statistics, data, trust the process, not being results-oriented, luck and variance
