I in response to the above tweet don’t see how my comments about the #Canucks

, #Flames

, #Oilers, #GoJetsgo

, #Leafs or #Habs rubbed salt in any wound; after all, the #TML bowed out of the #roundof24 by losing the deciding game of that series by being

(2/) shut out. As of late Monday am Alberta Time, news about @Marner93 & @wmnylander was somehow trending on Twitter e.g.

I looked forward to, as of Monday NYC time, listening to the replay of Monday’s @DonnieandTheMoj after it had become available on the Internet ( https://twitter.com/donnieandthemoj/status/1292865794200625152?s=21) because it

https://twitter.com/cmancuso9797/status/1292782579305918465?s=21

(5/) likely was to have some good insight on the #Leafs’ #game5 debacle & more. #Leafsforever

was a flawed team, & I am not alone in having said so e.g.

I thought that I would, before getting into various seasons in the history of ex- @premierleague team @SunderlandAFC ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sunderland_A.F.C._seasons), to mention briefly how #Leaf players & upper management can learn from

https://twitter.com/tsn_sports/status/1292856683652354049?s=21

(10/) the success of @LUFC (a now- @premierleague

club promoted from the @EFL @SkyBetChamp), a Northern English #soccer

club that @Maynardm (a fan of that club but also a follower of the #leafs) claimed to have had success unlike the #TML, & that the #icehockey club could

(11/) learn quite a few things from #LUFC ( https://twitter.com/davwain1/status/1291674455329177600?s=21).

I will now turn back to the history of @SunderlandAFC, a @premierleague (or equivalent) team from (among regular seasons):
- 1890-‘91 to 1957-‘58 (among those not cancelled by #WW1 or #WW2)

https://twitter.com/davwain1/status/1291674455329177600?s=21

(12/)
- 1964-‘65 to 1969-‘70
- 1976-‘77
- 1980-‘81 to 1984-‘85
- 1990-‘91
- 1996-‘97
- 2002-‘03
- 2005-‘06 to 2016-‘17 bar 2006-‘07

@SunderlandAFC has to date spent more seasons in the @Premierleague or a past equivalent than in any combo of

(13/) @skybetchamp, @SkyBetLeagueOne, @SkyBetLeagueTwo & lower leagues put together (32 as of the end of the 2019-‘20 @EFL season, with no year as of yet spent in any league lower than @SkyBetLeagueOne).

I will now go to a video produced by #Australia

|n-based #soccer

(14/) @youtube|r @TheMasterBucks

(). Finding value-for-money had not been, during the late-2010s, a strong suit for @SunderlandAFC, and it showed in #relegation from the @Premierleague

to the @EFL @SkyBetChamp, and then @SkyBetLeagueOne. The same

(15/) #Australia

|n #YouTuber, himself a fan of @NUFC

(, ), produced a video about #nufc’s 2017 #relegation
().

There's little doubt, among Canadian @nhl

teams that played American ones in the

(16/) #roundof24 of the 2020 #stanleycupplayoffs (with that round a.ka. the #stanleycupqualifiers to distinguish that round from the conference quarterfinals), that although the #Habs & #Canucks

got to join the #Flames

(the winner of the #cgyvswpg series) in the #roundof16,

(17/) the same could not be said for the #Oilers or #Leafs. I will be dedicating the last paragraph of this thread to the #housecleaning that I believe #leafsnation needs.

Does a bloated payroll with players who have under-performed sound familiar to #Leaf GM #Dubas? If it

( 18/ ) doesn’t, it should, because you’d think that in two years there would’ve been an improvement from losing #postseason series after postseason series to actually making waves in a round other than the initial round for which the #Leafs qualify. It’s time for some serious

(19/19) #housecleaning within #LeafsNation, including the need to #FireDubas as team GM.
