On this site, sure, 10% sounds right, but this is a place that people actively seek out to talk about hockey. The real world percentage is unfortunately much higher lol
Leafs fans used to tell me you could never win a Cup with Phil Kessel. He was all me, me, me. I told them Phil Kessel was not the problem in Toronto. I said all he needed was to get out of Toronto and he'd win a Cup.
I was wrong. Phil Kessel has won 3 Cups since he left Toronto. Of course these same clowns told me he had nothing to do with winning them. Ok so Phil didn't play much in the Vegas Cup run. But he did during the season. He'll get his 3rd Cup ring.
Back in 1997, Leafs fans hated Larry Murphy because he was making 3 mil. He was "so bad" apparently and "just had to go. Worst Defenseman in the NHL!"
Leafs GM Mike Smith deals him to Detroit at the trade deadline. Murphy pairs with Nick Lidstrom and he wins back to back Cups just like he did years earlier in Pittsburgh.
The Leaf clowns said "well he was playing with Lidstrom." So Murphy had nothing to do with the 2 Cup wins? Nope. Worst Defenseman in the NHL!
Oh by the way. Leafs paid half of Murphy's salary the next season too. But at least they got future considerations in return for albatross Murphy.
