Nope, they had Denis Savard I’m pretty sure (3rd overall pick with the Hawks I believe)


I thought Savard was still on the Hawks at the time

Random Trivia: When/Who was the last team to win the Cup without a former top 3 draft pick on their roster?


2019 Blues come to mind as a team that doesn’t have any obvious top picks, or else maybe the 1989 Flames

Savard was on the Habs from 90-91 to 92-93 (the year they won their last cup)

Nah its just the classic us vs. lottery team syndrome

Whole team caught it so expect nothing good as so far defense is optional. Goal 1 yes on him but 2 and 3 avoidable with proper defense

Unfortunately not even a Matthews hatty can save em as this team dont got the bully mentality


it's not just one game. it's been all season.

Cause its in buffalo its fine but kinda sucks when the ticket prices are so expensive in toronto, which marner alluded to and they decide to take time off. at the same time i take time off with disregard so i guess i cant say anything not allowed

Leafs kryptonite seems to just be non contending teams like ARI, BUF, and CBJ

Leave their goalies out to dry, play like its an exhibition game

And what makes it worse its predictable lul

You see them against a non contender bet for the non contender to win

Leafs vs. Good team = Hulk

Leafs vs. lottery team = Bruce Banner lul

People say trade for ABC will that really fix anything as it seems they have a style of play depending on the team.
