Surprised nobody mentioned the Leafs canned Dubas, making him pay the price for the failure of his stars to show up when it mattered. So despite winning their first playoff series in nearly two decades, turmoil and uncertainty are the order of the day in Leaf land. Will Matthews re-sign? Will one of the other members of the big four get traded?

Actually, it was his decision to leave.  As usual you don't know what you're talking about.

I expect you will be very embarrassed when you find out you're wrong. As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Amazing how some people are always wrong every time they open their mouth. 😂

I continue to applaud your commitment to being totally wrong about every single subject, big or small.

The Leafs ate irrelevant,  since they never win anything.

In the last 15 years, just 9 different teams have won the Cup; does that make all the other 23 teams irrelevant as well?

The Leafs have never won a cup since 1967. Most NHL teams have won one since 67. In fact nearly all cups the Leafs won, is when the NHL only had 6 teams.

The Cup is a hard trophy to win, my team hasn't won it in more than 30 years. I think the fact that the Leafs have only made it out of the first round once in like 20 years is much more of an indictment than the Cup thing.

Canucks haven't won a cup but at least they have been to three finals, two of which went 7 games.

Fortunately the Avco Cup was the most prestigious hockey trophy of all time and the Jets won it so much they literally own it.

Well, that's three more finals than the Leafs have made in the same time.
