40% of the season in - Which teams do you consider to be Top Stanley Cup Contenders?

[dubey]

Leafs pretty easily #1

The rest is a toss-up

 

[T REX]

Tampa doing it without Kuch.

That's a damn good hockey team.

 

[BTP]

As a Habs fan, the only answer is the Ottawa Senators

loool

on topic.
Tampa and Leafs are the 2 best teams in the league as of right now, imo.

Would LOVE that final.

And it can happen this year.

LOL. There's no Tampa or Boston in your division.

You'd be third if it was a normal year. Enjoy it.

Don't worry, we are. Rest of HF, not so much.

 

[Pyrophorus]

If you think this, do you have the lottery numbers?

Nah

Leafs are clearly better

The way Leafs have played this year, I can see them battling for 1st with TB easily. Boston is not better than Toronto in 2021.

 

[smitty10]

Lightning
Leafs
Bruins
Golden Knights

Capitals
Avalanche

Define “well”? The Leafs are 9-15 against Tampa since 2014-2015. During that stretch, Tampa has been to 2 Stanley Cup Finals - won 1 - been to 4 ECFs and won 51 playoff games. Toronto has 0 cups, 0 ECFs, and won 8 playoff games. Facts are stubborn things.

care to guess how many of those players are still on the leafs. Why not go back to 2000. your sample size is too small

 

[T REX]

Nah

Leafs are clearly better

Cool story bro. See ya around. Thump that regular season north ahl division chest. LOL.

SMDH

 

[Hockey4Life91]

How many current players were on the team in 2014?

However we slice it, it isn’t going to look good for you. And actually several for Tampa - you know, a winning pedigree.

 

[Critical13]

Tampa

Vegas/Toronto/Boston/Colorado/Carolina

Maybe Winnipeg, I need a closer look at em.

I'm not arguing anything, Tampa is better, but your post was stupid.

 

[T REX]

Hubris without hardware

It's their new motto

 

[Hockey4Life91]

Data. Again, facts are stubborn things. Your rhetoric is, well, meaningless.

 

[RVACapsFan]

LOL at all the Leafs love. They’re beating up on a terrible division.

 

[SI90]

In order....
TB
Bruins
LV
Leafs
Col
Dal
Canes
Caps
Flyers
Wild card- Oilers(NYI is a better team, but dont have the talent to win imo)

Love seeing this every year.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Data. Again, facts are stubborn things. Your rhetoric is, well, meaningless.

Yes a completely different team is relevant to today.

You're the type of person who thinks the logo on the front determines how good a team is, not the players and coach.

Says the Toronto fan. I bet your dad hasn’t even witnessed a Stanley Cup.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Says the Toronto fan. I bet your dad hasn’t even witnessed a Stanley Cup.

1. He has, in fact he's witnessed 68.
2. What does being a Toronto fan have to do with you making irrelevant arguments?

Don't be sad. Is just game.

Absolutely seething lol

 

[NK94]

LOL at all the Leafs love. They’re beating up on a terrible division.

Real terrible...

 

[dubey]

Real terrible...

May be the best team in the last 25 years

 

[Critical13]

That's a good point. Cups/Dad's lifespan seems like a very legitimate argument for projecting contenders.

It's especially intelligent when you consider that the person proposing it just made a snobby comment about how they use data.

You are embarrassing yourself, dude. Lots of valid and well-thought out reasons why you think we aren't a contender but you took the path of the derp.
