Thats great, I actually say something defending leaf fans, and then the same leaf fans come in for insult.

Jesus Christ, you wonder why the least two liked fan base are the Flyers and Leafs. Bunch of asshats.

Apologies.

However, it is very easy to misread and misunderstand your post.

That was quite the non sequitur

I am not sure he was trying to establish a logical progression, so non sequitur maybe doesn't apply here.

I agree with your point.

But that's not the point that Bill responded to.

He at least got us there. Hexy didnt. Hexy had us in and out of the playoffs for 5 years. Granted...loaded us with prospects and got us out of cap hell...but never built a team that got past the 1st round IF we made the playoffs

... You should be more clear that you are referring to other fans trolling Leafs fans, as opposed to "trolling Leafs fans".

Depends on your point of view I guess

Yeah, I could read your your post multiple times over and still not understand what those two points have to do with each other.

It astounds me that we have two non-Flyers fans going at it about how to insult Paul Holmgren on a Flyers board.

No one brags about losing. You are confusing the topic of improvement/progress with ultimate success (winning the Stanley Cup).

Difference is almost winning the cup is considered a successful season. Only 1 team can win the cup, several teams have never won a cup. Teams can be successful without winning the cup. It is all relative to where you think the team is. Perfect example is the Islanders. They lost their Captain and were expected to finish near last in the league. They made it to the 2nd round. That is a successful season. Tampa Bay on the other hand was a cup favourite and failed miserably. They Flyers those years were teams not expected to do as well as they did. Therefore those were successful seasons
