Do you not leave your house? I can walk down any street in the GTA and meet rabid delusional Leafs fans thinking Matthews makes McDavid look like a 3rd liner and that the team is built for a back to back to back Cup run starting this year.

Also the delusion gets worse the further into the burbs you go. By the time you hit Barrie.. well, lets not look into that abyss. :cry:

I guess I just haven't met that many people that think that way. I don't live in Toronto and no one at my work thinks that way, none of my friends think that way, none of my immediate or extended family members think that way and I haven't talked to strangers about the Leafs so I guess I'm blissfully unaware.

Edit: Met not meant.

I still get annoyed when they lose or play lovely but then I get over it quickly because I'm aware it's a rebuild. Like I was nervous tonight even though I was fine with them missing the playoffs, so of course you get into it but what's wrong with a little perspective?

Turns out when a scoring team loses its top six for half the season with poo poo defensive and special teams play, on top of leaky goalies, that's bad.

I will not miss this season. Get healthy, motherfuckers.

That's also from the era of gretzky scoring 200 points/season. Between him, Laine and Carter, it's been an amazing year for rookies.

It's disappointing we were robbed of a full mcdavid rookie season.

I heard they were being adopted by Vegas. What happens to players on the Wolves who are on contracts with the Blues? They don't suddenly become Vegas property, right?

Only players that actually have contract with Vegas belong to Vegas. It's not unusual for a farm team to field players from two franchises. The Wheeling Nailers had players whose rights belong to the Habs and Pens for a while before the Habs made their ECHL affiliate the Brampton Beast.

Don't bring me down, man.

They're 46-26-9 this year(with a game left), 86-87 they were 50-24-6. That's also the last time they had more than 45 wins.

The last time they beat the Flames 4 times in a row, the edmonton oilers won the stanley cup.

What worries me is the only teams currently in the playoffs that have ever knocked them out are the Flames and Blackhawks, both of which they'll probably have to go through.

That's different, they fought up from 8th.

This year they could go in as #1 in the division, the last time they were #1 in the division, they won the stanley cup.
