How has Toronto been around for 96 years and NEVER won the conference?

Pre 1967 expansion, all teams were in one division (there were no conferences). Also, Toronto is the only team since winning the Cup in '67 to not return/make it to the Cup finals.

To give you an idea how long that is I was 12 years old. Yes I remember Johnny Bower.

I am excited about this one. I just hope there is a little snow or something to make it more interesting.

I too am very much looking forward to this game. I dont really have a horse in the race but that is almost better. I can be just a observer and enjoy the game.

Good luck to both teams and the fan bases.

 

[BF4L]

Just wondering. With all of the NHL fans we have here has anyone actually been to one of these?

If some in Ann Arbor wear the school's maize and blue colors, he might be right about the color blue...but not the white.
