And yet, Boston owns you too in recent history... At least, the Leafs were rivals to the Bruins and were still relevant when they sucked


That was 12 years ago. In that time, the Leafs have mustered up exactly 1 round 2 game win. The only thing relevant about the Leafs is their round 1 choking history. It wouldn’t even be that bad if fans like you weren’t constantly trashing on other teams

As a Leafs fan, I find it pretty comical that you are trying to downplay other team’s playoff success. What do the Leafs have to show for in the last 15 years? 1 round 2 victory?


The richest, most popular team in the league with 7 straight playoffs, soon to be 8. The Canucks played in the worst division in hockey - winning a few rounds is meaningless but go ahead and hang that banner

And again, I think the Leafs are a great team, but you Leafs fans have 0 right to go arohnd telling other people their lack of playoff success. If winning a few rounds is meaningless, then what is winning 1 round in 18 years? Is that MEANINGFUL? Come on now….

Also arrogant fans like you are annoying to deal with. The Leafs are neither the most rich nor popular team in the league. The only people who think that are leafs fans

What have the canes or devils won? Bupkiss 😂… but I don’t see you going after their fans. It’s cool - leaf fans know there is a lot of Leafs jealousy out there, worse with Canadian teams. Maybe because we outnumber you in your home arenas

Hmm... I don't remember the Hurricanes blowing a 4-1 lead in the third period of a game 7 but clearly my memory must be faulty


At least Carolina has an outstanding ECF record the past decade. 0-68 or something? Well done.

As soon as I saw the author, I knew the result would be a Carolina Cup win.

The truth is Carolina doesn't have the offensive depth to go deep. It's been their Achilles heel every spring.

What they have won is more than what the Leafs have won. They both have Stanley Cups in the last 20 years. There is just about nothing to be jealous about when thinking of the Leafs. The Canucks have sucked, but at least they aren’t the laughing stock of the league with huge cocky fans that constantly think they are superior. Gee man, you’re right I much rather be like that huh?

That's all they have. Imagine if they actually did win something? 😲

But hey they're better than the Red Wings. For now anyways. At least they can brag about that.

Ok... Maybe history does repeat itself for certain teams


Devils have been around since 1982 and have…

More cups
More wins
More playoff wins
More playoff series wins
More major trophies
More hall-of-famers
More Hughes brothers

Not the richest or the most popular? At first I thought you just were biased against the Leafs (most likely jealousy) but denying objective facts - come on bud

The rangers are the most valuable team in the NHL. That isn’t bias. That is a fact. Also popularity is quite subjective.

Do you see me parading around about all of the glories of the Canucks success? No. But then again, even a joke of a team like the Canucks have more to show for in the last 20 years than the Leafs

When the site’s owner of the worst takes joins the dude against you, you know you are in the right side of the argument 😂. Bertuzzi will never sign with the leafs ; how’s that looking 😅?

The key is to live by the 5 simple excuses as to why the Leafs lose in the playoffs each year...

1. Goalied. Leafs were the better team.
2. Refs screwed us. League is against us.
3. Unlucky. Outplayed them but didn't get the bounces.
4. Injuries. Only Leafs players get them
5. Playoffs are random. Best team rarely wins.
