During the time when he was primary owner of the team, from 1927-61, his Leafs won seven Stanley Cups, including five in the 1940s. The last year the Leafs won the Stanley Cup, 1967, the Chicago Blackhawks had five scorers among the top 10 NHL shooters, and the Leafs had none. The Leafs won with veteran know-how and grit, not superstars and elite offensive players. So here we are in 2017, and it’s clear this Leaf team is the antithesis of most Leaf teams in history. Today’s Leafs couldn’t beat most other NHL teams in any alley.
