BUT... Compare the Canadian teams since 1998 and only 1 team has played more playoff hockey then the Toronto Maple Leafs and that team has yet to defeat the leafs in a playoffs. But I suspect that this year they would
The numbers since 98
Ottawa - 15 playoff rounds
Toronto - 13 playoff rounds (missed PO last 2 years.)
Edmonton - 8 playoff rounds (missed PO 01, 03 and 06)
Vancouver - 7 playoff rounds (missed PO 98,99 and 06)
Calgary - 6 playoff rounds ( missed PO 7 years in a row, 96 to 03)
Montreal - 5 playoff rounds ( missed PO 98,99,00,02 and 06)
Cup apperances for all 6 teams since 98, 3
Cup wins for all 6 teams since 98, 0
Yes, something stinks  |
Yes, they stink!!
And yes, they beat Ottawa in the playoffs, but so have many teams, but Ottawa has grown every year from it's playoff experiences, the same can't be said of the Leafs.
It seems that's all the Toronto brass and it's fans care about, beating Ottawa in the playoffs, big deal, where did they go from there, no where.
