Leafs vs Habs in 1993: Sportsnet has the answer

Who would have won a Stanley Cup FInal between Wendel's Leafs and Patrick Roy's Habs? We've all debated it. Now, Sportsnet television superstar Ian Mendes has the definitive answer.

Background: I've known Ian for years. Despite covering the Sens beat, he's a die-hard Habs fan (but has to pretend to like the Sens so that the rest of the Ottawa homer media don't ostracize him).

I've had about four fozen arguments with him about a Habs/Leafs series over the years. These arguments can get into an astounding level of hypothetical detail. I won't spoil the end of his article, but I'm taking personal credit for any success the Leafs may have.

  2. I agree Borchevsky.

    Though I always seemed to have Dave Ellett in my pool back in those days, he just wasn't destined to be a factor in a Cup final...

    Let's compromise: seven-game sweep.

  5. Suddenly I have a new-found respect for Ian Mendes. I always knew he was a smart, smart man.
