Why do you post in here if you aren't a Canucks fan? You look like an idiot.

Blasphemy! this is madness... This is Vancouver!!
i admit, i lurk revscene for the most part and this subject has been discussed numerous times. Seeing how this is vancouver, hearing "leafs suck" "blackhawk down" should be a given because most ppl like cheering for their home teams bcuz there is that hometown connection. It's not about oh how can canucks fans talk so much shit when they're not that great themselves... you get that in any city that is passionate about their own team... For example, i'm sure even the shitty teams' fans (ie calgary) talk shit about good teams (ie canucks)

It's the only argument that matters, that's why.

Granted, I agree that when the league was only six teams... However, since the modern day expansions that argument is completely valid. I don't shove that I'm a Ducks fan down your throats (well only 4 times a year not counting playoffs), but the fact is Anaheim, and any other franchise that has won a Stanley Cup is better, period. Wins in a season, divisional titles (which are completely overrated), even conference titles don't matter unless your team is the one with it's name etched on it at the end of the season.

Ok so the Leafs were winning cups before the league was watered down.
If you guys need to ignore Stanley Cups from an era when the Canucks weren't around then we can go on things like playoff appearances since 1970-71: Canucks = 24, Leafs = 25. Wins: Canucks = 100, Leafs = 102

Point is, we can look at stats and ignore others all day or we can look at hardware. To quote a legend "It doesn't matter if you win by and inch or a mile, winning's winning." The leafs franchise has done it 13 times.

20-30 of those wins were probably just against the senators. roughly 30% of your wins are against 1 team. an incrredibly strong early 90's to late 90's senators team.

Your team has been irrelevant for 7 years.

The name of this thread is 'The Official 2011/2012 Canucks Thread'
so why post about other teams that no one in here gives 2 fucks about? go make an NHL thread in the sports section and have fun talking about your shitdick teams there.

You were likely riding a 10-speed Canadian Tire special when I was posting here. I'ts been discussed before newb.

On another note, funny how I wasn't the one discussing the Leafs - they were brought up yet again by Canuck fans.

IMO the only thing that matters is when a team makes the playoffs and can perform. The argument that the Leafs have cups from 100 years ago and are better than the Canucks is irrelevant because Toronto never makes the playoffs
