What if the Leafs made the playoffs in 06/07 season?

[Asian]

They fell 1 point short of playoffs only to be beaten by Islanders. What if they did make the playoffs that year? Would that really change the Leafs today?

Of course it would. The Leafs would be completely different.

See: Butterfly effect.

yep. Completely totally different. We would have won the cup that year. All we needed was a chance

We made it in 2013 came up short of the first round but did not make the playoffs since then. What happened?

I remember watching that NJ/NYI Sunday game. We were down by 2 to the Habs the day before, and came back to win, all we needed was a Jersey win, and they didn't start Brodeur. They were down 2 with around 6 minutes left, and I had almost lost all hope. Then they scored. Then the time was ticking away but boom out of nowhere 0.1 seconds left the puck crosses the line. Tie game. Then they go to OT and eventually a shootout and the Isles win anyway. It was like getting you heart ripped out 4 times.

Carl Gunnarsson refused to clear the puck despite holding the puck by the boards for 10 seconds. Boston stole it and scored. Next shift, Carl Gunnarsson refused to clear the puck again. Held it for about 5 seconds, fumbled it, Boston stole it and scored. Gunnarsson happened.

We only made it in 2013 due to the lockout. If it was a 82 game season, no way we would of made it.

What if I had Mexican for dinner tonight. What would my **** look like tomorrow?

that Summer we traded our 1st and other picks for Vesa Toskala and Mark Bell, I feel that that's a trade that would go down regardless of the Leafs making the Playoffs that year.

Even if the Leaf made the playoffs and decided to roll Raycroft as undisputed #1 for another year, Lars Eller doesn't make this team any better

That was the year Lou fired his coach right before the playoffs and took over himself. Clemmensen was his call. But in a way it all worked out, he has done more for the team now than anything that could have come of squeaking into the playoffs.

To this day that is one of the most memorable non leaf games in my mind. I was infuriated they didn't start Brodeur!

That Devils equalizer is the most I've ever cheered for a non-Leaf goal.

That's an excuse that Leaf haters use, ALL 30 teams had the same schedule and the same # of games, they made the playoffs because they played better than 14 other teams in the 60 games.
