They’re getting playoff-ready

Islanders the last 2 seasons...

It is sad when the team you are making fun of has gone further recently.

They've won 10 Cups and been to the Finals 12 times since Toronto last won a Cup or went to the Finals, so ...

Congrats? Do you brag about the softball championship you won when you were 5? No one cares about what happened 30 years ago.

1. Montreal isn't my team. My team won the Cup in 2019.

2. Did I mention my team won the Cup in 2019? Yeah ... that. Which means it has 1 more Cup since it came into the league than Toronto has in the same period.

3. If you want to worry about recent performance, Montreal went to the Finals 3 years ago. Toronto still hasn't been to the Finals in 57 years.

4. Bonus to 3: Montreal has won 3x as many playoff series in the last 3 playoff years than Toronto has.

5. Bonus to 3 and 4: Montreal didn't kiss away a 3-1 series lead against Toronto the last time they played each other.

But, Toronto has 102 points this season. And 111 last season. And 115 the year prior. And Matthews with however many goals he'll score this year, so ... <reallyslowgolfclap.gif>

Your team sucks currently.

No one cares about 2019 either.

People generally live in the present unless they have nothing else going for them, this applies to sports too.
past dont matter? ......spoken like a true leaf fan.....
Hey, all those statues in front of the building. All current leafs are they ?

Ok so all those fans of teams with less Cups than the Leafs can't say shit then, if that is your logic.
I don't usually participate in those your team is trash arguments. But, yes, the Leafs have won some cups and I won't dismiss them.

To discuss hockey while I watch the game... reminiscing about Montreal's cup in 93' is not important to me.

I spend most of my time traveling, so am rarely home, which is why I post here while watching the game, it is enjoyable since I can't watch the game with friends.
I believe you said nobody cares about 2019. Which is a point.

You all figured Matthews would get highsticked? I doubt that.
if not that it would have been something else.

Leafs core a combined minus -16 tonight. 🤣
I can see why y'all don't want the Panthers in the first round.

True. And, it still has a Cup recently - which, Toronto hasn't.

I'm pretty sure all of us who root for teams who've won Cups in the last 57 years care about when our teams won the Cup. Cause ... many of us - and certainly those of us whose teams won a Cup in say the last 20 years - can still remember when our team won a Cup.

People generally live in the present unless they have nothing else going for them, this applies to sports too.
I mean, if my team had never won anything in the last 57 years I'd probably say the same stuff, too.

Of course, when my teams got its ass kicked in the postseason again - like Toronto will this postseason - I'd also probably STFU about when other teams last won anything, knowing at least they won something since color TV became a standard thing and mine hasn't and the best I can do for a banner in that era is hang something that says "divisional champions" and hope no one remembers they crapped the opening round away to their longtime rivals who ... have won 10 Cups since my team won anything of consequence.

YMMV, though.

I have to travel for work sometimes, but I don't really enjoy it.
