Did not think the poster I was responding to, could explain it ............ and neither can you.

leafs were the worst team in the NHL last season, and it's going to be a long long road back to even contending for a wildcard spot ........ perhaps 5 more years , and then another few seasons before they can even think about winning a first round series, and by that time they'll be in Cap problems and management will have to start another re-build .......... the typical leaf cycle that we've all seen over the past two decades.

So your fence sitting answer means you know that the leafs will finish well behind the Senators, in the standings, again this coming season ............ you just can't bring your self to actually articulate the truth, in writing.

And neither can you ............. well, I'm not really surprised.


It must be really hard to know your team sucked the most last season, will probably suck for the next 3 to 5 seasons, before they even get a sniff at contending for a WC position ............ knowing very well that they'll get blown out if they actually get it.

I wish I had a below average team that missed the playoffs and an owner who can't/won't spend a dime on the team so that I can pretend I'm happy about the future and direction of the team.

At least sens fans are being reasonable though eh? It's not like you guys are saying you're contenders and better than everyone in the division but TB.

Nobody said anything about being a contender,but in reality i see us having just as good a roster as anyone in the division not named TB .I have TB,WASH and Pitt as the contenders in the east.After that its up for grabs

Well, finishing 2nd in div would be contending.... And plenty have said they think they're contenders.


How on earth do you think the sens are better than the panthers who won their division and got better In the offseason? The sens didn't improve but magically leapfrog the division leader who made changes to improve?

How did the Pens win the cup after barely scraping in the year before ???2nd in the division means absolutely nothing.FLD got beat by the NYI ,does this mean they are now a contender??

Leafs have one of the best prospect pools in the league and a very highly regarded front office.


Sens have a poop roster, poop prospects, an cheap owner and pretty questionable management.


It's been explained many times. Just because you ignore it, doesn't mean it goes away.

Oh it's just the same Leaf cycle of the last 2 decades. All that intentional tanking. All the first overall picks. All the Marner and Nylander type prospects they've had in the past. You know. The usual.

It's going to be 8 years until they can win a playoff round!

Only leaf fans do that, according to spatso..... Sens fans realistic in belief that they are better than divison winner last year who improved, while they themselves haven't improved.
