The strengthening Canadian dollar hasn't hurt the Canucks' bottom line one bit, I'm sure; even if they pay mostly in USDs.

We'll I guess Montreal and Toronto just got a lot more turns then the other teams because they are way ahead on cups won.therealrex said:
They are both losers now but at least the leafs were winners once.
Actually it was even more crooked than that. Each team in the NHL had territorial draft rights to players in their respective geographic areas. So Toronto got all the best guys born around Toronto and Montreal got all the best pea soupers while the American teams got their pick of all the top US talentmetoo113 said:
(although I think the Red Wings might have been entitled to players around the Windsor area). This lasted until 1963 when the first draft started and a few years after that the Leafs became the shitbags we all know while the Canadiens made a lot of great trades with expansion teams for draft picks and they took the right players and excelled.Im 32 and im sure in my lifetime they'll win. After so many years of dissapointment i've given up on these guys. They are a big waste of $$
they weren't 'built' they made the deal of a lifetime by giving Eric Lindros to Bobby Clark and getting Peter Forsberg and a supporting cast (5 or 7 players or picks?) in return.therealrex said:
It made them an instant 'winner' and the move to Colorado gave them the cash in the pre-cap days to pay them well to play well.
Sounds like a good system to me.therealrex said:Actually it was even more crooked than that. Each team in the NHL had territorial draft rights to players in their respective geographic areas.

Actually, Montreal made the playoffs this season which is more than what Toronto and Vancouver for that matter, can say. So if they are considered losers, what would that make Toronto, bigger losers?metoo113 said:
Besides the cup count is 24 Vs 11. How exactly do you define a loser?
Oh I get it, in your delusional little mind your Laffs won the Stanley Cup every year, right? If you want to gloat about the Laffs at least get your facts straight.
