You're the one who came onto our thread trying to pick a fight, and now you're getting all upset that people responded to you, when you were clearly wrong?
I really don't understand how you don't get this.... The Gens arent the longest running franchise because they didn't have a team for 10 years because of the fire. Then they returned as the same Oshawa Generals team that they were 10 years prior. So are they the longest running franchise? No they took 10 years off without a team. Were all 5 championships won by the same franchise, the Oshawa Generals? Yes
If the Toronto Maple Leafs decide they're not going to have a team for 10 years and then in 2028 they return as the Toronto Maple Leafs, in the same league they were in before, do they restart at 0 Cups? No, they're the same team in the same league so they'd still have 13 Cups because it's the same franchise
