I have been a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club for a very long time. As a lot of you have.
We've all seen players, coaches and GMs come and go all have our favorites. This list was going to be a difficult proposition to say the least but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
When looking at the list of coaches that the Toronto Maple Leafs have had over the years, it was pretty easy to narrow it down to the five who would be on this list.
Only 17 of them coached the Leafs to winning records and only ten of those 17 coached more than 50 games ( King Clancey claims two of those ten spots.)
The point is, despite the franchise's storied history, statistically, the Toronto Maple Leafs have had more bad coaches than good ones so this list was actually fairly easy to fill.
One thing I did not do, was include any coach that won a Stanley Cup with a losing record. Right wrong or indifferent, I just don't think it would make any sense.
For the most part, the ranking of these men was decided by my readers.
