If the 3 amigos had the balls and heart Wedel and Sittler had, they'd have won more than one series in 8 years. Therein lies the difference and why fans are frustrated with them and why they love Wendel, Dougie, Salming and Sittler. Salming and Sittler.played under Ballard. No chance anybody was winning a cup for the Leafs.What did Wendel's will to win, or Sittler's leadership actually f***ing win?
They didn't win Jack f***ing shit.
You know the people that will be critical of the core 4 for not showing up in the playoffs will turn around and glorify Gilmour, or Clark or Sittler, or maybe the 2002 team because it was fun to watch, and it was, I love that team.
But remind me again how many championship banners are hanging from those eras?
f***ing 0, they don't exist.
We need to stop glorifying the past when the past didn't result in a championship, in fact you know what forget a championship none of those eras even resulted in a finals run.
For as overboard as the Oilers go on the nostalgia shit, and OH BOY do they ever at least those teams won.
What the f*** are we doing talking about "Will to Win" when the BEST we got was a conference finals.
Does this team have "the will to win?"
Who knows the Matthews era Isn't done.
I know the other teams didn't because they didn't win.
BTW, Sittler captained the Leafs team that won game #7 in OT, on the Island against the #1 seed Islanders who went on to win 4 consectutive Stanley Cups. These guys haven't been able to beat sad Columbus and Montreal teams and can't score more than a goal in a game #7.
