News Article: Pete DeBoer could be next coach of the leafs

Difference is NJ overachieved and Toronto underachieved

This. The Devils somehow went 0-12 in the shootout, which might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If they had performed normally, they would have been in the playoffs.

Except the opposite. We allowed more shots in a season than anyone else ever. That's not underachieving. We were overachieving for the whole season and then crashed back to reality at the end.

We were underachieving by allowing so many shots.

 

[Diatomic]

Yeah so you are wrong in saying that NJ underachieved. They managed to get great stats without a lot of talent.

How is that wrong? They underachieved because they didn't make the playoffs yet were one of the best teams in the league in regards to stats.

How is that wrong? They underachieved because they didn't make the playoffs yet were one of the best teams in the league in regards to stats.

...and when you look at the roster it is amazing they were able to come as close as they did to the playoffs and generate the statistical numbers they did.

That's the overachievement.
