Well the last time we played in the playoffs against each other when we were in the same conference in 93' I recall a heavelly favoured team losing that round....yes the red wings lost.....and the last regular season game the leafs won 5-2.

They are just lucky we can't seem to make it to the stanley cup finals and whoop yall.

BFD, at least Ihave seen the Wings win a few cups in my LIFETIME, which is more than you can say.

in hockey the difference can be seen between the top 2 teams 1.5 million and 27 million between the wings and the #10 team the caps and the diff between the 1st and last team is 56 million dollars.

we also Pay for all of it, just like every other team. The wings are a very popular team and always sell out, are in close prox to canada so their is a heavy hockey influnence in the state.

The reason why people bash the yanks is because the difference between the top 2 teams the yanks and the red sox is 68 million dollars, between 1 and 10 is 102 million with the 1st and last difference of 156 million.

Thats a HUGE fucking difference, which the yankees support by having their own cable network, etc....

The redwings add a component each year...Ie hatcher. they dont go out and get markus nasland, marty turco, mats sundin, peter forsberg and every fucking superstar player in the league.

The yankees however have gotten in the last 3 years
Jason Giambi, Alex rodriguez, kevin brown, gary sheffield, randy johnson...etc etc etc.....they fucking buy the entire fucking league up.

Thats a current salary mix...you have to think this year the wings lost hasek and hull. I doubt they carry the highest payroll next year. something the yanks will always do.

Leafs > all, if the canadian teams had the money to buy players like detroit and the rangers, it wouldnt be much of a league
