Detroit and it’s not particularly close.

TML has 2 more cups but Detroits are more recent.

Detroit also has more iconic players.

This doesn't need to be polled. Detroit destroys Toronto, especially in recent years. Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Rafalski, Kronwall, hasek 4 cups ? or 5 ?

This is ainec lol.

Pickering, Ontario
Its detroit

Leafs for O6 are only ahead of NYR due to NYR lack of cups and not having an all time great player in history (leetch is not on the level of Lidstrom, Yzerman, Howe, or Orr, Esposito, Shore or Rocket, Pocket Rocket, Roy, Dryden, Lafleur, or Mikita, Bobby Hull, and Messier didnt play long enough to be a NYR legend only)

Habs, Bruins, Wings and Hawks all have better/greater individual players all time and have more succsess recently with sustained contention periods post 1967

Franchise success isn't just determined by how many cups you've won. Unfortunately, popularity and revenue can't be lover looked. If you want to look at success after expansion, the answer becomes easier to point to. But as an operating franchise with longevity, you have to take in everything and it becomes much harder to just point and choose success on the ice since expansion.
