I’d put us at 90% to make the playoffs, as long as Andersen stays healthy. If Freddie’s neck problems persist and Campbell is the starter down the stretch, then I’d say our chances are 50%. And with Freddie healthy I’d give our chances of getting past the first round as 50% against Tampa and 10% against Boston.
We're at a 73% chance to make it
A little adversity is good sometimes. We've had some bad play mixed with some bad luck. Our competition has also been overachieving. I think some good things are due to come our way
That and for the most part, teams only stay hot so long. They are due to cool off.
The fact that Leafs still hold their playoffs destiny in their own hands is great.
I don't know what you're talking about, but you can find examples of literally every single player in the history of the game making bad defensive plays.
This team has been so poor defensively for so long that people don’t even recognize proper defensive coverage or the ability to clear opposing forwards from the crease anymore.
Goalies are paid to prevent goals when mistakes happens, at a certain rate. Our goaltenders have not been making those saves at that rate, so you can point to individual mistakes all you like, but it's goaltending most letting us down. The team is average defensively.
More accurately, we have been bad defensively for so long that people nitpick and exaggerate every mistake or chance against, and they think we're worse than everybody else and always will be, even though we've been much better this year.
They're not tired on their back to back?Florida just netted 2 quick ones.
Leading 5-2
