Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Formed in 1917 as the Toronto Arenas, the team would become a member of the "Original Six" and win the Stanley Cup in the NHL's first year. Renaming themselves the Toronto St. Patricks in 1919, they won their second title in 1922. In 1927, they made their third and final name change, that to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Toronto won it all again in 1932 and would dominate the 1940s capturing the Cup five times that decade, and were the winners again in 1951. The 1960s were again their decade, winning the Stanley Cup four times, the last being in 1967.
The Leafs have not made the Stanley Cup Finals since.
Our Top 50 lists in baseball look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2020/21 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Syl Apps
2. Turk Broda
3. Tim Horton
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
As always, we thank you for your support.
