The leafs are 0-10 on elimination games. Let's say every elimination game was a 50/50 chance to win. What do you think the percent chance to lose all 10 games are? Maybe 20%? 5%?

Nope.

It's (get ready).... 0.098%.

Read that number again.

0.098%

So clearly this is more than luck. MUCH more than luck.

And there's only been ONE constant thing during that 0.098% chance to happen.

The core. That's IT.

Matthews, Reilly, Marner, Nylander. Those are the only 4 players that have played all 10 of those elimination games.

3 different goalies, 2 different coaches, 2 different gm's.

How many D have we tried working around them? 16. SIXTEEN!!!! Giardano, Holl, Brodie, McCabe, Schenn, Sandin, Lyubushkin, Muzzin, Dermott, Barrie, Ceci, Marincin, Gardiner, Polak, Hainsey, Zaitsev,

How many forwards we tried working around them? 31. THIRTY ONE!!!! Auston-Reese, Kerfoot, Jarnkrok, Knies, Lafferty, Acciari, Kampf, O'Reilly, Tavares, Blackwell, Bunting, Engvall, Kase, Mikheyev, Spezza, Foligno, Galchenyuk, Hyman, Simmonds, Cliffard, Johnsson, Kapanen, Ennis, Brown, Gauthier, Marleau, Moore, Bozak, Kadri, Plecanek, JVR.

Including all skaters, that's FIFTY different players we've tried building around those 4 players. Remember, the odds of losing those 10 games in a row is 0.098%. And there's only FOUR things in common for all 10 games.

If they pull this off and lose in round two then there are some difficult decisions that need to be made. But if they lose this again in typical leafy fashion, then it's time to tear the whole f***ing thing down.
That is.... unbelievable. Wow.

0.098%... This goes way beyond bad luck or even anything realistic. If anything the Leafs are proving curses are real.

With a chance to be a millionaire if they were not to eliminate TB.

This is pretty goddamn crazy...safe to say that if they don't get past the 1st round again the coaching, core and possibly upper management will have to seriously be judged.

Imagine being the new GM with this team, you inherit Matthews, Marner, JT and Marner.

Awesome video.

If those glasses are not fake, I'm recommending her for next Leaf GM.

In the meantime I'd love to see her go head to head with Dekes. LOL.
They aren't 'fake' but they aren't prescription. They're blue light glasses since I spend so much time staring at screens haha. I was skeptical about them at first, but they actually help!
