if I were to guess, girls und panzer, but I've never seen that show
Define "losing season"?
Longest Playoff Drought? Panthers, 12 seasons
Longest active Playoff Drought? Oilers, 9 seasons
Longest Drought without playoff win? Jets/Yotes, 23 seasons
Longest SCF Drought? Leafs, 47 seasons
Longest Cup Drought? Rangers, 53 seasons
Longest Cup Drought/never won: St. louis, 47 seasons
what's your fucking point? What is this "15 losing seasons" record you speak of?
I see you mean regular season records - who the hell cares about those in the NHL? The Canucks made the playoffs (and even the SCF) during a "losing" season, would a team that won the Stanley Cup during a losing season still be considered "losing" and a contestant for worst franchise ever? C'mon son pack it up and leave, that's not even objectively a remotely correct statement.
I think he means "regular season with less wins than losses"
only nobody cares about regular season records in the NHL because... you can make the playoffs (and the Canucks made the SCF, even) in such a season. So really that's a TERRIBLE metric by which to say "they're the worst hockey franchise ever". Grasping at straws 10/10

It's hard to find a franchise in the NHL that can be called "worst" when the Cleveland Browns are a professional sport comparable reference point.
The Browns is such a terrible organization that it makes all others look, at minimum, good.
Preach.

41 > 38
Count me in with Team Smiley regarding this particular argument.
Pretty sure the Habs lead in that category, not us
Riots after Canucks SCF appearances: 2
Riots after Habs SCF appearances: 2 (86,93) + 3 non-SCF playoff riots (55,08,10)
But not the worst!

its accurate, and the canucks suck
15 straight seasons with a losing record, due to generous playoffs and parity issues they still made the playoffs a bunch
Canucks are the worst franchise in hockey history because they made the playoffs and the SCF final a bunch of times during a 15 year period where they didn't play so well in the regular season that really doesn't matter much
Grasping at straws 10/10, I said it before

how many cups though?
same number as the Sabres and Blues who've had equal or longer droughts without ever winning!
And we were closer than them... That's at least a better metric to use than "losing regular season records" which means nothing in terms of defining success in the NHL.
lol i was just kidding, but tbf that's still 2/3 for the Nucks and like 5/30 for the Habs ;P
Only 6 more years, Leafs! I believe in you!
does anyone actually believe the leafs might win a cup in the next 6 years? Will they even make the playoffs once in that stretch?

will the leaf's next playoff appearance end in as hilarious a fashion as the last one
You're underestimating the power of the
BAB
wrong cock, but if they do sign the right cock they MIGHT have a chance to build something decent. maybe.
Although let's be real, 6 years is just the right amount of time for Nylander to bust, and we all know that's happening

Vasi in tonight against the Sens, Bishop in tomorrow against the Habs.
IDK, without that choker James Reimer around they probably won't get to game 7 in the first place
there is definite potential for it to happen in the next 6 with how the leafs are loading on talent
6 is too big a window to say yes or no, though
it took less than 6 for the blackhawks to turn from a joke into a powerhouse
But the Hawks got Toews, Kane and Keith, AND didn't have the stupid Oilers cockblocking them every year
look at your lineup...

Just popping in to say "Fuck the Habs".
yeah... but... 6 years.
and don't forget all our prospects which haven't touched the NHL yet
The Blues are technically tied with them as well, if you want to count them.
Marner will get ruined by Dustin Brown in the first game against the Kings and Nylander will be eaten by Chara. Serves the Leafs right for drafting a couple frail daisies.
I don't know anything about them, but players like Kane and Toews don't doink around in the AHL for a while, they dominate from day 1...
6 years is not that long, unless by some miracle you guys draft 1st this year and next year, but the problem is once again situated in Edmonton... Y'all need Stamkos, a real goalie, a real top 3 winger, a real top 2 defense, that's a lot of needs

NOOOOOOOOOO
Edit: Beaten NOOOOOOOO
Editx2: Hand over Ladd then, Meta hand over Yandle.
You're tearing me apart
Nylander for Galchenyuk, take it or leave it
I think you'll be surprised at the Leafs in the next few seasons. Not thinking that they'll even make the playoffs within 6 years is sort of dumb.
didn't Byfuglien say no to a 6/36M contract? did they really offer him more?!
I honestly think you guys have nothing, and it's nothing about the rivalry and nothing personal

Okay never come back
Also Montreal might be also looking to trade Lars Eller.
Time will tell, I'm more optimistic about the future Leafs teams if they stay on this path than ever before.
A team can change radically in six years. Then again the Leafs haven't done much in the past 10 years.
The Leafs definitely don't have "nothing" - they are close to having nothing, but Marner, Nylander, Rielly, and Kadri alone go against that notion.
