Around The League: Regular Season 2025-26

[Sal_Butera]

The previous Leafs rebuild that began in 1967

fixed

 

[Stinky]

They are an pathetic failure

 

[Krustchev]

What was the biggest?

See above.

 

[Krustchev]

At least Oils went to 2 straight finals

Leafs won 2 rounds in 20+ years

Oilers drafted two of the five best players in the World. No Cup is a massive failure. Bigger than Leafs.

Fair

 

[lecoqsportif]

And one of them isn’t just Top 5, but was #1 by some distance. Best since Lemieux, so beyond generational.

This why I argue Schaefer going to Fishstix instead of SJS is a big deal. From a team building perspective, it would have been a Super Mario Kart accelerator. (Though Misa is one helluva consolation prize.)

Imagine if EDM had McDongDong and Makar.

Leafs had 4 stars plus better goaltending and 2 rounds is utterly pathetic when your handed 2 inferior teams like us and Columbus

2 finals is more than 90% of the players ever get to

perhaps but in the end, if 97 doesn't win it all, his legacy will be tarnished

its a team game , I get the legacy but many studs never won a cup

Unfortunately, the last 3 important games of the finals GAME 7 and 5/6 this year , stars went AWOL

that is definitely part of 97's legacy, picked a bad time to have bad games

Doesn't matter. Oilers' failure would be bigger.

That’s why the Oilers need to offer up a 2030 1st rounder unprotected for Diekembe

Not bigger. They went to 2 finals with ECHL goaltending

 

[Krustchev]

Bigger. Two top five players, one who's arguably top 5 all-time. And not getting a better goalie is part of what makes it a massive failure of a rebuild.

 

[wiseguy1]

Well looks like the Rangers are going to win a home game.

And doubled their home goals total in one game

 

[Stinky]

Crosby had won cups.

It's not bigger than spending close to a decade not getting past the first round

 

[Krustchev]

Yes, it is.
