maybe its a culture thing. Seinfeld>Black Adder, Red Dwarf, Faulty Towers and The Office Actually "Fawlty" Towers is at least the equal of any of Seinfelds best episodes (better in my opinion) but only had twelve to choose from. Absolutely Fabulous was a fairly entertaining show as well.

If Maurice were truly allowed to decide on merit alone who would be in the leafs line-up I believe Gill would have a tough time making the Marlies.

Uniforms were ugly...the team in them was pretty good as they owned the leafs. Hal Gill looked like a great sign for the leafs...if it was 4 or 5 years ago. Based on this Toronto doesn't have to plan a Stanley cup parade this year.

If you weren't taking into account individuals ( as in Jim Kelly with four losses, Fran Tarkenton etc. ) the ratio would be at best 1:2 ( 1 win to 2 starts, (39 : 77 actually ) so .5065 versus 1 win 3 starts (mcnab,mcnair and williams ).3333. Actually Pittsburgh did great to get him.

I would credit Arturs Irbe for a good chunk of that 2002 run. However if the refs continue to call everything, everytime, anytime I can't see a team like Ottawa being denied this year. The new rules really seem to help those teams with more skill than heart.

The Leafs had an idiot for an owner in Ballard after they last had a stanley cup winner.
