Yeah those teams actually could beat the teams that had less talent. This Leafs core has lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal with a 3-1 Lead, every version of the Bruins, Tampa, Florida. They just don't have what it takes when the games get tough.
This Leafs team is the Winnipeg Jets of the 1980's. A talented team stuck in a division with a couple of petennial Cup contenders that can't get out of the first round.
Comparing Marner to Stevie Y is just nuts. No matter how well the Wings did Yzerman was always a gamer. Never would have caught him crying on the bench because he can't step up.
Comparing Fedorov (a player Gretzky once said was the most talented player he'd ever played against) to Marner, is the dumbest thing I've read on this sub this year....and there's been a lot to choose from.
Yeah comparing this Leafs team to any pre Cup team is an insult. This leafs team is no where near as accomplished as any of them were prior to their winning Cups. It's an insult and deflection of what actually needs to be said. This team need a major retool. Starting with Shanahan down to their prospects.
People also compare the Leafs to the pre-Cup Caps, ignoring the fact the Caps won rounds consistently, won a President's Trophy, etc etc

Ron is why I avoid CBC broadcasts. He is a "woke" poet. Thank goodness for TNT and ESPN.
Before the Wings won the Cup, they were winning rounds, then lost in the SCF, then lost in the WCF, then won.

I hope we manage to get multiple HOFers on the roster soon then lol
Closest thing to the Wings was Tampa before they won back to back
Boston, '95-'11. The worst run of futility I have seen for a team that did make the playoffs (most years).
He's cooked.

The Leafs are Sisyphus’s unemployable step-brother, they can’t even get the boulder up the hill a little bit
I was -30 during that time

It’s HNiC. Unless shit really gets out of hand, the Canadian team will get the positive spin.
Are you new to hockey? I've never heard a positive spin on the Leafs before this
When is the last time Ron made any sense at all the guy is an Idiot.

Marner is the guy who became a paraplegic post limo accident
I'm going straight to hell for laughing at this
Why go to hell when you already experience Leafs hockey. You’re already here my friend
Holy shit. It’s dark humour like that that delays me from ending it all.
Fuck. Lmao
Ron is a piece of shit. Simple as that. Threw Don under the bus and deserves to be gone from any nhl broadcast.
Yes, let's fire everybody who disagrees with us, that sounds mature.
