Why The Raptors Need To Do Well: A Recent History of Sports in Toronto

Around T.O. of late, much has been made about the lack of success we’ve had as a sports city. Air Jordan Retro 5
Outside of the Toronto Argonauts winning the Grey Cup in 1996, 1997 and 2004, and of course the Toronto Rock (lacrosse) title run that exhilarated dozens and dozens of Torontonians, the only Championship teams we’ve been able to celebrate were the 1992 and 1993 Toronto Blue Jays. Before that, the 1991 and 1983 Toronto Argos and before that was the infamous 1967 Maple Leafs. However, these old numbers don’t really mean much in today’s terms; it’s not like the Jays were suffering through (another) decade of mediocrity in the 1960’s, Jordan Sneakers
and they weren’t expected to compete for the 1970’s or much of the 80’s. As for the Argos, quite frankly, back when there were 2 or 3 sports in this city the Argos meant much more (as an Argos fan it’s tough to admit). The Raptors didn’t even exist until 1995 so it’s hardly their fault. No, the years since 1994 have been much, much worse than any previous lean years here.

In the Summer of 1994, things had never looked better for Toronto Sports as a whole. The Maple Leafs finished their season 2nd in the Western Conference and in their division to the Detroit Red Wings. In the playoffs they made it to the Western Conference Finals, losing to the upstart Canucks in 5 games.Authentic Jordan Shoes
However that was the 2nd consecutive conference final for the club and the team seemed to be going somewhere for the first time since the late 1970’s. Coming off back to back World Series Titles, the Blue Jays started off the 94 season .500 (a bit of a World Series hangover) before falling into a slump in June, going from .500 at the start of the month to 12 games under by the end of it. However in July they turned it around and began really heating up. They finished July only 5 games under .500, which is where they sat on August 11th (an important date). And just before the summer, on May 15th of 1994 the new basketball team in the city of Toronto was given its name; the Toronto Raptors. On May 24th, the team colours and our first General Manager (Isiah Thomas, you may have heard of him) were announced. Even in Argo-land things were on the upswing. The ownership group of Wayne Gretzky, Bruce McNall and John Candy had run into serious problems that offseason when John Candy died of a heart attack and McNall went bankrupt (generally two very bad signs for a sports team). Fortunately a new buyer stepped up right away and there wasn’t much of a hiccup for the franchise. The CFL as a league was doing better than ever, Cheap Jordans For Sale
too; expanding to Las Vegas, Shreveport, and Baltimore. And around the country, the Canucks had just lost in the cup final while the year before the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Yes, jordan 2012
by August 11th things were looking pretty good in Toronto and across the country.
