Liewiecke stated to the media that he'd began planning a stanley cup parade route.

it wasn't publicity, it wasn't a joke, he was serious.

LInk?

Besides, can you recall any owners saying that if players wanted to play for their team, they’d have to take a “Stanley cup discount”, despite the fact that the franchise has never won a Stanley Cup?

Well to be fair, the plans from 1967 probably do need some revisiting.

Leiweke has set off in the direction of success, and he’s leaving laggards behind. It was on one of these long solo marches that he mapped the championship parade route.
When he first drops it into conversation, I think he’s speaking metaphorically. Then unprompted, he brings it up again.
“You mean, you have the actual route?”
“Right.”
I press him for the details. He tries to drift off into another topic, but keeps being dragged back. He wants it to start somewhere uptown. He mentions Varsity Stadium non-specifically. He points out that the waterfront is nice in June, and might be a logical ending point. His real worry is spacing.
“If Chicago had one million people, Toronto will have two.”

Article from July. He wasn't planing the route because he knew it was coming.

Said what, raise banner for making the playoffs?? He didn't.


I guarantee that other organizations know the route they'd take if they won.

no, prock was mocking the sens by saying that they'd raise a banner if they made the playoffs.

my reply was that you have a president who said he was planning a cup parade route, for a team that wasnt' good enough to make the playoffs.

if you're gonna mock a team for things that you think they'd do (and are obviously not true) make sure your team aren't busy putting their foot in their mouths at the same time......THAT is my point

I think he was saying "prove that disagreeing with the facts won't change them"

Well, you would be wrong.

For the last ten years, the Senators have been the better team, on the ice, regular season and playoffs, than the leafs.

The leafs have spent more money, charged their fans more money to do so, and you're so happy.


I concede the leafs spend/make more money.

I'll just have to make due with the Senator's being the better "on ice" team for the past ten years.

they took Boston to 7th game OT Round 1 last year therefore they are relevant again.

okay, and it quite clearly does not mean he thought they were going to win the cup this year. He's saying that is his goal, and he fully intends that to happen in his tenure.
