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 team that gets fat and happy on regular season wins against teams that mail it in.Because without McDavid, Edmonton doesn’t make the playoffs. And with McDavid, Toronto can sleepwalk to multiple cups.
Id agree had we not faced likes of Montreal, Columbus etc. LA would've definitely knocked the Leafs out on multiple occasions.If Leafs played LA yearly there would be a different perspective about them.
Blaming Woll are you?Had to take out our goalie to eke by us in 7.
The Oilers could have won the Cup with Woll more easily than with Skinner.I just find it amusing that he doesn’t blame skinner for constantly putting the oilers behind but does blame Woll.
97 is not enough to help the Leafs win the cupNo 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.

McDavid would need to stop caring about chasing Cups in order to consider playing for the Leafs. Anyone can see that this team is going nowhere. You can either be a Leaf or chase Cups but you cant do both.
McDavid will be signed to an extension this summer and your delusion about how every player with an Ontario birth certificate wanting to be a Leaf will once again be crushed.
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.97 is not enough to help the Leafs win the cup
With 16 gone and an aging 91 ( if retained ) combined with an immobile D and Morgan looking like crap this year ....much work to be done to finish this puzzle.
To beat the Panthers you cannot play from behind. Allowing the first goal (and second) is a recipe for losing. While not all Skinner goals were trash, there were enough to put the Oilers on their heels and the Oilers aren’t a team that can play from behind against a structured D.not blaming woll or skinner.
Stolarz has been one of the best goalies in hockey the past couple years, and they took him out, and still only eked by us in 7.
