Notice the Leaves high-point was on December 16 after beating the Ducks 6-2 (95.22% chance of P/Os)

Now, I’m not one to honk my own horn, but I think it important to point out:

They're doing well because 20 of their 30 games thus far have been at home.

They're doing well because they lead the league in PP opportunities at home (by a huge margin).

Starting now their schedule gets tougher.

The annual fall of the Leaves will begin any time now.

They will very likely miss the playoffs.

...

Did I mention they're gonna miss the playoffs? :drink:
HONK HONK!! :mrgreen:
For the leaves to get to the magical 95-point cutoff they need to get 48 points from their last 34 games (1.41 Points per game). That's akin to win+OTL-rate equivalent to 115 points over an 82 game season. Last year only Anaheim and the Bruins got that over the whole season. Up until now, only Anaheim has that run-rate (though Nashville are close).

The Canucks on the other hand are looking reasonably comfortable. They can afford to play as badly as Toronto has so far and they will still make it into the playoffs.

Most of their fans want them to tank now (a la Arachnid).

(must've rubbed off on him there in TO)

But the highest they could get is a 5th I figure.

They'll fuck it up though and land around 9th I figure.

(watch for Kessel to get a hat trick tonight)

(hats and jerseys all over the ice) :D

And yeah, then they'll make what turns out to be a horrible pick at 9th.

If history is any indicator they'll start racking up points once the pressure to win has been removed. If memory serves, Edmonton has played decent in the back half of their season too.

Some Leaf fans still think they can win the Cup this year

Sounds like some lemon we know...

Jonathan Mandela-Bernier gives up a 114 floater 5 seconds into the 3rd period.

NHL record for the fastest shorty EVER!

And NO Leaf-apologist broadcast crew, it did NOT "bounce" or "skip".

LOL Leaf fans are losing their minds (a la Arachnid).

8th loss in a row, 3-1 to the Coyotes Image , booed off the ice...

Doc it did bounce. Under his glove :mrgreen: he was way to casual on that, played it like a ho hum routine stop and it bounced right under his glove, like it dropped just as he was about to glove it. But a horrible goal.

Doc, you will be moving and passing if the leaves get into the top three.

I'm not even thinking about that.

They'll go on one of their random rolls and end up 9th overall.

I'm sure of it.

And you're right, it bounced after it was by him. :lol:

Broadcast crew auto-assuming a fictitious "hop/bounce/skip" before it got to him

... then seeing some of the slo-mo replays and going strangely silent = Image

Ray Ferraro calls Bernier "Reimer".

Nice try Ray! :P

No, that's why Ray Ferraro said it was Reimer!

Yeah, he's an instigator that Ray Ferraro...

I take it Shanny is leaving the cheeseburgler in there to ensure they suck right to the end and score a high pick.

Cue the countdown to cowtown
