You should hate them.....we should all hate them.

No one should ever forgive the Leafs for trying to keep Vancouver out of the NHL.

Speculation abounded that Toronto Maple Leafs owner Stafford Smythe, upset over a failed Vancouver business deal, vowed to block any Vancouver bid while Toronto and Montreal were both reluctant to share CBC hockey revenues.

You mean the blocking of the Oakland Seals/California Golden Seals bid to have Labatt's buy them and move them to Vancouver in 1968? 

 

Could you imagine?

The Vancouver Seals.

Smythe and the Leafs were the reason we did not get a 1967 expansion franchise.

Rejecting the Labatt deal was the 2nd strike but led to the NHL conceding us a franchise for 1970.

And, no I couldn't imagine the Vancouver Seals and their white skates. LOL
