Of all time? And between the Bills and the Raptor?
Only Habs fan should be allowed to use this much unwarranted hyperbole when ****ing on the Leafs.
BILLS is an acronym, it stands for; Boy I Love Losing Superbowls lol

All won when there were 6 teams in the league. I think we as Leafs fans should stop using this as some sort of pedestal. It has been almost 50 years.

So does this mean we disregard all the Cups the Habs have won before 1967? Not sure they'd be too happy about that.
Habs would still lead the NHL in Stanley Cup wins if you did eliminate all their cups from the the original 6 era. They would have 10. To the Leafs 0.

I agree with this..I question the validity of comparing modern era cup wins to original 6 cup wins. I don't believe they are comparable.
They also didn't have an owner who exploited their franchise for money. People are so fast to forget Ballard holding the team hostage for years.
Very true..Ballard was one horrible owner...but he died in 1990.....23 years ago. He was actually part owner as well from 1961, so was part of some cup teams.
I agree. While some of his public "acts" have been stupid, his overall job as a mayor has been good.

That still doesn't answer my question, which requires a simple yes or no answer.
Seriously? Conn Smythe had majority ownership and control over the team (He quickly grew tired of Ballards' facade), he wouldn't let ANYONE control the team or do anything to it that he didn't approve(he once fired a manager when he was at war who didn't trade for a player he asked for). Honestly, the only way Ballard took control of the team was to befriend his (Smythes) son and slowly choke him out to after Smythe was too sick to do anything.He stopped Stavros' bid at a take over and ended up taking it himself.

He was a sociopathic, egotistical, megalomaniac. And the most slimiest, nastiest SOB, he used to hate "Commies" but he enslaved and abused the team, players and staff and fans just like the Soviets did to their comrades(without the killing and gulags of course).
Unless you grew up during the Ballard era I think that you (and anyone else for that matter) should just let it go, you won't understand and could never comprehend the damage he did to this franchise.
This quote should encapsulate everything I've said:
" Why go out and buy a couple of Cadillacs, when I can buy a bunch of Volkswagons and still put the same amount of ***** in the seats?"
-Harold Ballard
PS- Ballard died on my Last teen B-day, what a present....
