conn smythe was such a legendary hater why did he spend wwii (WHILE ALSO FIGHTING IN THE TRENCHES IN HIS LATE 40S MIND YOU) beefing with the canadian prime minister for being a pussy AND forcing the nhl to send players to the war partially because he was a raging nationalist but also partially because he hated the habs and wanted their players to suffer. baller
#god he was insane. terrible person. obsessed with him in eveyr way possible#habs won cup in 44 and in 44-45 he forced the nhl to let people go to war#and then the leafs won the cup in 45. funniest shit ever#hockey#to be fair he wasnt being biased he also wanted his leafs to sign up. and they did at least a third of them went to war#idk how that compares to other teams but still. he wanted everyone in the trenches#he hated the habs for normal leafs reasons but i wouldnt be surprised if it was related to the quebec conscription crisis
