How many cups do the Johnny-Matty era Leafs win?

[Filthy Dangles]

Johnny. Matty. 2 Franchise centers. They can't screw this up. But how many will they get...?

[Wayne Primeau]

Zero, because it'd be funny.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I'll be conservative here...14 Cups.

 

[member 116861]

Probably 2

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

they win the cup every year until Matthews retires

 

[Thrasymachus]

probably a tad premature

maybe make this thread after they win their first

win one, then we start speculating on "how many"

Adding Tavares certainly gives them elite offense they are definitely contenders

 

[Incognito]

7 Cups and possibly a World Series because Tavares has generational hand-eye coordination and he could take October off from hockey one year to help the Jays win.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

i'd be thrilled with one, but winning a cup in 7 years even with a great team is pretty tough

the man would get the key to the city and free drinks in any Toronto bar he entered

Yeah, he'd probably also be declared mayor for life.

 

[Thrasymachus]

the name "Tavares" would become a popular name for babies, despite being a surname

"this is my son Tavares Johnson" etc

Im gonna name my kid Johnsson Johnson

Toronto mayors are notoriously short-lived.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I can't see any less than 2, the team is just to loaded

 

[A4T1L6]

just give me one, anything more is gravy

That's really only true of our current mayor's predecessor, and he was a crack addict.

2022-23 season

I'd be more comfortable with Rob Ford than John Tavares making executive decisions.

 

[newfy]

Hard to say.

It took Crosby and malkin a decade to get passed one cup and theyre a better one two punch than AM and JT. Tampa Bay doesnt have a cup yet with the current team and theyve been more stacked than Toronto is for the last little while.

Start with one then worry about how many I would say

It wasn't my intention to steer this thread off course or in a political direction. My (hyperbolic) comment was purely to demonstrate how much adulation Tavares would receive for bringing a Cup to our championship-starved city.

 

[ijuka]

I think they will win 0 cups.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

6.

And all I'm saying is that I don't think he'd know what to do with it.

ftr I'd bet the Leafs win 1 cup in the next decade, but I don't think it'll happen for a little while.

Fair enough. I certainly don't seriously advocate for John Tavares to ever be our mayor, regardless of whether he is able to one day help bring a Cup to the city of Toronto.

ALL OF THE CUPS

THE STANLEY MUG WILL BE OURS
