Yeah...but if there hasnt been a 'Dynasty' in 30 years without people recognizing that the league, the rules, the players and the sport overall have changed then you've either got to retire the term or move the goalposts.

The 1940s-era Leafs were a Dynasty? Because they won a lot? The other 5 teams must have sucked.

Theres no modern day Dynasties you say? It couldnt be because theres 5 times as many teams and so its much harder to win year after year after year?
