You like math? Take the limit of GP to 82 and you'll be surprised(or not) that the limit converges. Want to know what it converges to? 0. That's our playoff chances. Updating after every game is pointless. We already know where this train wreck is headed.

But what about the playoffs?
What are the odds this is where they start winning now that the pressure of making the playoffs is over and losses are expected of them?

That's the spirit.
Very clever posting that in this thread !!
Ambiguity is your friend and not everyone will understand its true intent.
This team can't even beat bottom feeder teams what makes you think they are going to start playing now?
I have a feeling they are going to get spanked by Philly.

Despite Horachuk wanting to espouse positivity, I believe this team is crushed.
My greatest fear is that somehow, the change is so great at the trade deadline, that they ruin
their chances at a top 5 pick.
They should lose to Philly and Nashville
Edmonton, I'm a bit worried about (winning).

Even if we dramatically turn around our play, there's only so much improvement we can make until deadline approaches and players are sold for picks. That'll take the momentum right out of us again and see us through to a good pick. The only worry I have is if we improve our play, string together some wins, and management gets cold feet about selling players while we're starting to win again. THAT WOULD SUCK. But I have at least some faith that Shanny's camp is smarter than letting another winning streak illusion stop the selling plans. Until Nonis is fired though, I'll always be worried about what the plans are for deadline and the off-season. I understand the general consensus is that he will be fired but until that happens there's always going to be that pocket of doubt in me. It's not like we have any solid inside information that says Shanny will fire Nonis. We just see it as common sense knowing how awful of a GM Nonis is so we logically conclude that surely he will be let go.

Lost amid the Leafs scoring troubles is a remarkable defensive turnaround (I've removed empty net and shootout goals)
Not that I am complaining about the results as it helps organization move into new direction getting rid of garbage on the roster
but this is pretty telling.....
I feel like we'll win this game unfortunately. Philly will come in half-assing it because we're such a joke and then remember they have a **** goalie somewhere in the 3rd period when we're up 4-0. Tie the game with 4 goals in 5 minutes and then Clarktard will fall on a puck and slide into their net and it'll be ruled a good goal. Nonis will then high five the kyle kid and say "thats my boy".

Yeah. Shaved off 5 shots/game and .5 GA/G.
I know our offense has completely dried up but that was even a factor in the last few games Carlyle coached.
It's the revenge of the corsi. Leafs actually get good chances but can't find the back of the net.
The Leafs won't be shooting so badly for a lot longer. If we start shooting at 10% again, we're going to start winning games.
Can't blame horachek with only a handful of games behind the bench and changing the system on the fly without training camp.
That said, I don't believe he will be a top notch NHL head coach. He doesn't know how to play the situation IMO.
If Leafs start winning games I would be ticked off. I'd rather the drop to the last place or as close to the last place than just finish outside the playoffs. Making the playoffs is next to impossible from now on.

This is a lie.
Leafs are giving up 3.2 GA/G under Horachek
Do the calculations yourself http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/schedule.htm
Nope thats not a lie. read the post again, and see if you still come out with 3.2GA/G

please explain,
horachek has played 10 games and let in 32 goals where you get 2.6 from?
remove EN and shootout goal from goals against = 26 goals against in 10 games i.e. 2.6GA/G since Jan 7th
C'mon man. Read the post. He's excluding empty nets and shootout goals. Leafs give up fewer than they did with Randy.

Honestly those who aren't on the tank nation train yet, Leafs chance at making the playoffs is down to 1.8% And can drop to 0.7% by tomorrow night.
