I could be wrong, but I think the Maple Leafs have a few Stanley Cups.

That was a good game. Working from home these few days has allowed me to watch a lot of the games and figure out what's going on. Good stuff. Still can't stand the constant flopping and fake injuries though.

Sounds like Michigan, only history of winning anything was 100 years ago. Still living off those glory days.

There was a time when the Leafs ruled the NHL. That was a time when there were only five other teams to contend with.

Not sure if they ruled the NHL. An argument could probably be made for the Canadians.

England won the World Cup in 1966. I guess that time frame works out with the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup, but that's the only time England won the World Cup. Seems like the Leafs have done better than that. Therefore, I consider the analogy poor and award it no points.

6 out of 10 cups from '42 to '51 is pretty dominant. I understand why you consider it a bad analogy when measured on titles won, but accomplishing nothing in the last half-century is a good analogy.

So, they dominated the league? That only had 5 teams? Which angle are you working now?

I didn't realize that I had to pick one angle or the other. Even with 5 other contenders, you can still dominate for a period of time, just ask the Canadiens.

So, they had success is what you're saying.

Jus a mild refresher that in football- scUM shared the mythical NCAA Championship w/ Nebraska, in 1997. Yes those were their glory days but they still went undefeated and won the Rose Bowl.

Correction: They won 1/2 of a mythical championship.

CYM Jim only pokes his head out when that tiny has-been Nation actually achieves a teeny tiny thing.

Wimbledon! Americans suck ! Lol. They adopt a guy who isn't even from England and masturbate their little dicks off

He's jealous that we utterly dominate the globe if you add up any and all relevant sports.

Hell, you can even throw in the bullshit games and we still own. Glad he loves us enough to choose to live in a superior land , though.
