1999-2004 (6 years but still) stretch was better than the current stretch and we didnt win a cup then either
R3, R2, R2, R3, R1, R2
Had 7 series wins in these 6 years while still being a good reg season team and a contender throughout the period
We were good for ~98 pts per 82 games or a .591 pt % over this stretch in the reg season when there were still ties and the 2nd pt in games were lost out. Had 52 ties over this 6 year period.
Say we get half those as wins thats another 26 pts or pushes up closer to a 103 pt/82 reg season team over that 6 year stretch while also being a great playoff team that had several deep runs

Yeah a little silly to claim this is the best team in history. Perhaps the most talented or most underachieving but certainly not the best. (and that’s ok)

These are what winners look like. Other than Ballard, what a bunch of beauties.

Philly x 2
Isles x 2
So it can happen, but you still need physicality, goals and a way to stop them.
Physicality plays a huge role in a short series.

IMO I think Benoit is going to make the team instead of Timmins so they can run a 21-man roster instead of 20 (assuming no other LTIR injuries in preseason), and many posters will act surprised when that happens.

The less he plays the better we'll be. He's fine as a signing, but it won't be a good sign of he gets significant game play.
That said I think it's very fair game to speculate on Timmins future with Tre. That's a big question mark right now and Tre has gone out of his way to say he wants changes to the D

As far as entertainment goes, I am much more excited this year.

I have a prediction we are going to spend a lot of time in the Penalty Box, the conspiracy theories about how the refs are out to get the Leafs will be on overdrive ... mostly because I will be posting them
... but we are going to get some bad (box time) with the good (gritty players).The last time the Leafs won the cup , it was televised in Black and White ... boys we have sucked for a long time...

"NBC's coverage of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals marked the first time that hockey games were broadcast on network television in color. The CBC followed suit the following year."

A lot of those teams (especially PHILLY) played in a VERY different era, though... If the Leafs even thought about trying to play like the mid-70's Philly Flyers, I suspect Bettman would move to have them kicked right out of the league...

I stand corrected, all the highlights I saw from that series were B & W.

one of the things that could happen is Gio saying "you know what, I no longer have it" and he retires in which case Timmins would come in very handy
I think with Timmins you play him and get value later in the season. He wont fetch much right now but could still be a good dman.
I dont see any reason they should just chuck Timmins. He may play well this year.

'It's a win for Toronto': Simon Benoit vows to make Maple Leafs roster
Sheldon Keefe likes Simon Benoit's size and strength, and it's no secret the Maple Leafs could use an effective blueliner comfortable logging the grunt minutes.
with both Klingberg and Timmins hurt, Benoit could start in remaining Pre season games and win a job for Oc.t 11 season opener. I like the element he could bring....more importantly: Trevelling LIKEs the element Benoit could bring!'It's a win for Toronto': Simon Benoit vows to make Maple Leafs roster
