Watching those 80's promos are amazing. Guys are coked-out of their skulls. The Ultimate Warriors are hilarious.

I loved how the ultimate warrior flat out ran full tilt down to the ring

He just told you. "Way".

Probably was so coked up that he thought the police or the boogeyman was chasing him.

Or there was more coke down at the ring lol

Makes sense I guess. A lot of teams would hate to have Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Rielly, Nylander, Andersen, Muzzin and Kapanen on their roster. Better to have Polak, Komarov and Matt Martin types, right?

How many division titles? How many series wins? How many Conference championships? How many Final appearances? How many Cups?

Still 0 across the board?

Cool.

Looks like a legit contender.

If only the Leafs played like this guy made an entrance.

Everyone starts at 0... then 1, then 2, then 3.....

Look at the blues last year, you could have said the same thing about them

They could finish last every damn year if they did that and I’d still be happy

You're right. Matthews hasn't been very effective in his 10+ years in the league. He's gotta be what 22 now? What a bust. If only they were given a chance.

Weren't you going on a year or two ago about how they were 5 years away? Since the core guys need time to mature and hit their primes?

Yet now you use the fact that they haven't won yet as "proof" that they aren't going to because they don't have the right players/strategy?

Blues were very successful for many years before they won the Cup. They just never had a goalie who could play well in the playoffs.

That might be tough to do on skates. But I'd enjoy watching them try.

You're right, having good individual stats always wins Cups.

So? They still didn’t win sweet Richard all until last year.

All the leafs have to do is make the playoffs, then it’s a whole new season... then we’ll see what kind of team they really are.

They were and still are given the state of the division and how immature they are as a team.

My greater point was that the Leafs aren't legit contenders and aren't proven to be legit contenders. The reason for that? A GM that isn't adapting well enough or fast enough to fix the reoccurring problems they have every year.

Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup again. Change my mind.

- JohnFergusonJr

Of course it does. Look at Ovechkin. He won multiple cups before he was 22. Matthews is a bust.

They had playoff success, just not ultimate playoff success. They had many good seasons.

The Leafs have had 3 good seasons in a row. I guess that's not a good enough start. The Leafs should have 5 Cups in the 4 years that Matthews and Marner have been here.

My point is that your reasoning was crap. Give them some (frank)ing time lol. Even your favorite players Bergeron and Marchand hadn't won a cup when they were only 22 or less. Chara was over 30.

Who cares? The playoffs are all that matters. The season is nothing more than the window to prove you belong there.

Actually I just looked... the blues didn’t finish first in their division since 2014-15

Then 2nd, then 3rd, then 5th, then 3rd

In the central

So no, not that good

Leafs are the 5th youngest team in the league. But they suck because they are not the 4th youngest team.
