Scores were close, but the Blues still went 0-12 in those 3 finals. The Blues were well coached (Bowman) and had some older gudpros like Plante, Glenn Hall, Red Berenson, Doug Harvey, Camille Henry and Jean-Guy Talbot.

We can and we will..... Give big money and term to Marchand, just as the wheels fall off of his career.

managing assets is difficult when your team is located in a city that few players want to go and live. It's the same problem that the Habs, Jets, Flames, and Sens have, and all Canadian teams are less desirable destinations than US teams.

Something other than shrug and say "Trades are hard", we hope.

Oh, you sweet summer child.

I can't think of anything that would piss off Leafs fans more (well, except for LOF if we signed Marner)

I never said they weren't a failure, just not as complete a failure as the Leafs. Leafs fan would kill to make 2 finals appearances. They'd kill to make 2 CONFERENCE finals appearances.

Those numbers need to be updated.

I wonder if the 86 Whalers still crow about being the only team to take the 86 Habs to 7 games.

Yes, Don. It's the thing you can't do without a handful of blue pills.

He was always going to use a nuke if ever he got back into power. We all knew this.

Which is exactly why I tell Leafs fans that McDavid would be a fool to go from a team that's been to back-to-back finals to one that struggles to win one round every 3 years. Leafs fans seem to believe that they're the Oilers without 97. They are so far behind the Oilers it's not even close.

A simple statement of fact. Winning 3 rounds is harder to do than winning one round or no rounds like the Leafs.

Typical fascist response.

The Oilers could have won the Cup with Woll more easily than with Skinner.

A little from Column A, and a little from Column B...

The Habs missed the playoffs in 1969-70 with 92 points in a 76 game season. All the Original 6 teams were in the East Division while the 6 expansion teams were all in the West. This is how the Blues made it to 3 straight finals. Not because they were good, but merely just the best of the worst...

The loss of Hyman was massive. Kane getting penalized to the point where he couldn't play his game was huge. Ekholm playing with a core injury made him much less effective also. But all of these things pale in comparison to having sub-.900 goaltending in practically every game. You can't win if...

Flames Guy would lick McDavid's taint if he ever became a Flame.

No they can't. You keep believing this fantasy that this team that cant make it past the first round is also on the precipice of multiple Cups. That assertion is not backed up by anything other than wishing and hoping, just like your Marner fantasy. The reality is that the Leafs are a mediocre...
