They should make a documentary on how to kill a franchise in a two year span on Ottawa seriously.

They destroyed it but have done well rebuilding it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean 1967 was the last leafs Cup. Sweet how many cups claim. Lmfao is been half a century since the last leafs cup. Sens weren’ta team but they at least won a playoff series this decade.... idk what your point is. Again hard to chirp a team that has been more successful in the postseason more recently

I don’t chirp any teams about lack of cups. Winning a cup has just as much to do with luck as it does skill. I don’t see the interest in somehow making fans accountable for how their teams play either.

Your idea that some post season success somehow makes the sens a better franchise is as pointless as leafs fans finding solace in the fact that sens have never won a cup.

Correct yourself. If you're going to throw numbers out make sure they are correct first.

Quit acting like a 12 year old.

Then I am correct.

Thank you.

That is all.

Never said they are the better franchise. They just had a deeper run more recently

And Matthews grew a moustache. Both points carry as much weight in my opinion. The leafs winning a cup before I was born carries just as much...

Here’s a nice tidbit. Thornton’s first ever point as a Bruin (it was a preseason game) was the same day Matthews was born.

If it doesn’t work you can’t move him. Healthy scratch the only option?

Understandable ... It's tough to spare $700,000 for a diminishing player.
Especially when you're already paying Karlsson + Vlasic + Burns + Jones + Couture + Kane around $50,000,0000 for the next 6-7 years.
I got you fam.

Drew Jenkins, the creative response of the day. Youre super smart.

With Spezza and Thornton, the Leafs have to be the favourites for the 2006 playoffs.

They could definitely give the Oilers a run for their money!

You can't say "you're wrong" without saying "and here's why" ... just ask Stephen A Smith my man.

If you can't find the error in your ways that is your problem not mine. I told you to get the numbers correct, now it's up to you to fact check. Grow up.

Derp.

So you're an adult on the internet.
You've determined that I'm 12 to 14 years old.
And you're sending me messages containing bro and fam?
Yeah ... Unfortunately I have to report you to the police.

Lol, Jumbo is done with playing in front of bad goalies.

Joe Thornton on why he believes #Leafs can win: "I love their goalie. I like Freddie a lot. I think that was a big part of my decision, I think he's a great goalie."
