Who was alive when the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup?

I was and there never going to win again in my lifetime. 

That said Habs +185 in Game 7. 

I wAs too. Took Habs first thing this morning at +180 Has to be some kind of curse on Tor teams, the way they choke… Always make $ betting against Toronto…

I was not (close - born in 69).  Like Habs +180.  Could see a choke job here...

Can't say I remember it at only 7 years old but I would have been watching for sure!

Better question is:

Who will be alive when and if they win their next Stanley Cup? 

Toronto Raptors won the NBA Championship in 2019, and the Toronto Blue Jays won back to back World Series in 92 & 93.

Toronto sports teams aren't jinxed except for the sad sack Maple Buds! 54 years and counting....

was not 1970

I was a tiny Bud then and a big Bud today....   Leafs win

This one's for you Sir Bruce! 

I am so saving that clip......

Just to rub in your face (the year it happens and you & I are still alive)

Also, it was kind of relaxing to listen too....  my new bed time lullaby to take me home to where dreams come true.  

I wasn’t even born and will probably never see them win in my lifetime lol 

Abraham Lincoln?

@CanadaCup

 Hedge out now! Auston Matthews will show up tomorrow. Leafs in a laugher!

I was a rocking two year old man

Flutie when was the last time the Maple Leafs won a Game 7? 

2004!! 

You hedge out Flutie ASAP!!

I was born in 1967 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada 

Don Cherry always reminds us of 1967

Lolololololol

Hey Canada Cup,

Here's a little story since you asked;                                                                                                                                                                            

Born in 1964, so I was alive for 2 LEAF cups!                                                                                                      As it stands now and since 1976 I am a dyed in the blue wool LEAF fan and always will forever bleed & cry blue blood & tears no matter what.

However, my birthplace was Montreal, as such I was raised a HABS fan and righteously so from the age of 5 watching hockey night in Canada on my dad's lap every Saturday night                                                                                                                                                                                           

When I was 7 yrs old (back in 1971) my dad took me to many games.

Either way since 1969-1974, TV or live, I witnessed the greats;

Yvan Cournoyer, Guy LaFluer, the Mahovlich bros (Frank & Pete), pocket-rocket Richard, Tony Esposito, Guy LaPointe, Jacques LeMaire, Jean Beliveau, Rogie Vachon, Ken Dryden, the list goes on & on

Playing against other greats like Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, the list goes on

Back then MTL was a tour de force dynasty and one I was proud to be a big fan of                                                                                                                    I kept an NHL scrap-book that had the pictures of all my favourite Montreal Canadiens players

...cont'd...

@CanadaCup

After my parents got divorced in 1976 my mom & I moved to Toronto and the new friends I made here weren't too hospitable towards my lean on          The Habs so I faked liking The Leafs in order to get along. Well, in no time at all (call it brain-washing if you will), I slowly became a fan somewhere down the line!

I remember Harold Ballard was the franchise owner and a real piece of crap. Didn't care about the team at all, never did anything to improve them.      The players, coaches and staff had talent & integrity but burnt-out without his support until the team just went into a freefall nosedive

Everybody (and I mean everybody) from my friends to the press wished he would just go away but he never did cause he knew it was a cash cow          No matter how bad The leafs were they continually sold out and sold merch. Knowing he (Ballard) would never give up command of that empire             people just started wishing him dead,

Finally that day happened and I was tickled pink about it only to hear everyone around me who hated him all those years be remorseful ?!                          Like WTF ?! Dude's dead ! This is a glorious day ! I couldn't be happier ! I was made out to be the bad guy for my delight ?                                           Screw you all ya double talkers. I had high hopes for things to come. I laughed even harder when a legal battle broke out shortly thereafter between his greasy underling minions all fighting for custody of his empire when no formal will was left. What a total douchebag. Used up all the people close around him leaving them high & dry. Don't get me wrong here, the minions surrounding him were all vampires too and deserved nothing                                                 I just hope the whole lot of them are rotting in hell as we speak

@CanadaCup

 These are not the HABS of old. I find MTL to be a dirty team, leading the league in penalty minutes.

And wtf, the province of Kebek had one of the highest spreads of covid, their govt put a stay at home order lockdown with curfew enforced by police !        Yet the second it's over, it's ok to put fans in the stands at an NHL playoff game not only in the middle of, but at a critical juncture after a year of exclusion in the effort to sway the outcome to their favour by having fans in the stands ?

 That's dirty politics as far as I can see. Thankfully their plan didn't work. The Leafs did lose but by their own accord. Still, it was a cheap trick.

Leafs should & must win this series (not because I love them or have 200 units on it, but because they are the better team), and if they win, will get by Winterpeg and if somehow The NYI can turn the Bruins into Boston cream pies, (who are kryptonite to us), may have a chance to go deeper, but all that matters to me right now, is dispatching The scHabs. (pronounced SCABS)

I'm going to make a prediction here; COL wins the cup.

If MTL beats TOR, I hope they get to meet COL (who are formerly The Quebec Nordiques, and the greatest foe MTL ever had) and lose badly to them.

Other than that, I can only say 1 thing; I will be wagering against MTL from now till I die. 

Hope you enjoyed my rant.

Peace Out LANDSHARK!

 PS>

I don't want to drone on & on here, but they took out our captain and star player in the 1stP of game one. Not saying it was planned or on purpose but from where I sit, no matter how fast it all happened - it was avoidable. These players have quick reflexes. This was not a distracting event like attempting to score. It was the middle of the ice.

None the less, Johnny T is out, our best newest acquirement Foligno is not 100%, Thornton is old, biding his time, a true shark and not a true leaf.

Bottom line is Mathews, Marner & Nylander need to live up to the money they're paid and save the day.

I'm running out of blue blood & tears to bleed & cry ! If they don't get the job done sack 'em. open up the salary cap and let's get people who can before the decade ends.

Enough of the pain, agony, misery & suffering already.  UGH

Keep dreaming if the Laffs get lucky & beat the habs they are not beating jets

All you cocky leafs fans your team is 0-7 in close out games with this core let that sink in toronto has not won a playoff series in 17 years .wow But Leafs nation acts like there the best team. But you have done nothing in 17 years so win a series first before start talking Sh!t

@LANDSHARK1

 What are you talking about...”Montreal is a dirty team”? They rank 14th in Penalty minutes and 16th in minor penalties....the least you could do is look things up before you post anything....what a cry baby you are....
