Forgive me for not knowing the workings of the playoff seeding format but how set in stone is Leafs Bolts II?
I mean whatever - but it’d be nice to see someone new.
Leafs/Tampa either need to take over Boston which is ahead by more than 12pts or Florida/Detroit need to make up more than 12 pts on Tampa/Toronto.
In ~25 games remaining, they either have to win 6 more games than Boston or lose 6 more than Florida/Detroit... While still possible, we're over 90% chance they play each other (I'm sure there's a site that will show the actual percentage, but im not sure where).
Edit: To put it another way, we would likely need one of Boston, Tampa, or Toronto to have a losing record over the remaining games among other things. Very unlikely.
