Any chance Ottawa misses the playoffs?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No Tampa isn't running the table

 

[Liferleafer]

Nah I think they're fine. It is slightly alarming that Tampa is breathing down your necks though.

Also what's wrong with Dion? I've always loved him but found him to be a polarizing player. I think there's less pressure at least now that he's no longer Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I like Dion. He is perfect in the role that the Sens are using him in....but if he needs to play top pair minutes right now due to injuries? That's a movie i've watched before....the ending sucks.

They probably make the playoffs, but are in danger of losing their Atlantic spot to Boston. Then they would have to play Washington in the first round instead of Toronto.

Surpsrise surprise, this thread has turned into yet another "Let's all admire how great the Leafs are" discussion.

You think the Leafs go from 2nd to the last wildcard spot?

Not sure how I can make it any clearer.........

 

[Rick74*]

No. You guys are in. But you might slip to second wildcard due to **** luck.

It seems to be more of a "Let's all admire what a tire fire the Senators are becoming due to injuries at the end of the season" discussion.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Meh....Sen vs. Bruins
Leafs vs. Caps
Rags vs. Habs

Set your calendars......

So you don't expect the Leafs to win more than 1 game for the rest of the year?

Let's try reading all the posts in the thread next time.

You jelly brah?

The Sens will make it, Tampa isn't catching them at this point. They might fall to WC2 though.

It's impossible to know at this point what the order is going to be between Boston Toronto and Ottawa.

Ottawa just joined this 2nd wc dance **** show we've been in with Boston for the past two weeks

Could you be any more defensive and uptight.

Everyone in this thread is saying you guys are in and that you got **** on by bad luck.

Not sure I understand. The difference between 2nd and WC2 is miniscule.

 

[Rick74*]

Exactly! Right now it's 1 point. Which is ridiculous.

As a lifelong Leafs fan, this is probably the first time I've ever felt bad for Ottawa. Having your team fighting it out for positioning this late in the season is stressful enough and I can't imagine how it must feel when you have so many players on your team injured.

I disagree I can't see us dropping to the 2nd wild card spot nor do I want them to because I want a Leafs-Bruins rematch

If your team stops losing maybe the discussion can change

 

[LeafFever]

It's possible. Really tough luck for Ottawa. I actually did like their chances to win a series or 2 in the playoffs and be a threat. But these injuries make a massive difference. Tough break for them.

If I were Ottawa I'd want crosbys head

I'd say very unlikely

Ottawa has been an advanced-stat villain all year. This is called "regression to the mean"

 

[Teufelsdreck]

sportsclubstats puts their odds of making the playoffs at ~95%.

I'm not an oddsmaker but I assume they'll be in the playoffs. However, there's no mistaking that they failed to lead the Atlantic division. They had a golden opportunity but blew it.

no it's just called slump due to injury

I'm sure you much more enjoys the non-stop "Leafs Suck" discussions over the years.
When you believe the Leafs might not even sniff the playoffs for 5 + years it's very upsetting to see what has occurred.
