Sure: the leafs always collapse at the END of a season, which is why the Wings end up in the playoffs and the leafs don't. And naturally at the END of the season, the Wings - like so many other teams - are far more than a mere 2 points ahead of the hopeless 23rd place leafs.

Sure: the leafs always collapse at the END of a season, which is why the Wings end up in the playoffs and the leafs don't. And naturally at the END of the season, the Wings - like so many other teams - are far more than a mere 2 points ahead of the hopeless 23rd place leafs.
Glad you asked. Here's your answer:
The final standings say:
The leafs came 6th out of 8 teams in the Atlantic Division
The leafs came 12th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference
The leafs came 23rd out of 30 teams in the NHL
Bottom line: Whichever way you look at it the leafs sucked...again.
Yes indeed: a GREAT way to end the year. And as for their "captain" and "best defenceman" (?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I say Hip-hip- hahahahahahahahahahaha..........
29 other teams are PRAYING that Dion is with the leafs for many years to come!
Here's a post that would have been prophetic if the name "cairo" was changed to one of the leaflovers and if "Dead Things" was changed to "leafs".
BTW:
Cairo doesn't hide but leaflovers obviously do.
Wings don't miss the playoffs (at least for the past 23 seasons) but leafs almost always do.
End of season comparison:
Montreal: 46-28-8, 100 points, plus 11
Toronto: 38-36-8, 84 points, MINUS 25
Not even close!
Well "red light" as you call him won the gold and was the goalie MVP.
Meanwhile in the NHL let's compare his season stats to Bernier's:
Price: 34-20-5, 2.32 goals against average, .927 save percentage, 6 shutouts, made playoffs
Bernier: 26-19-7, 2.68 goals against average, .923 save percentage, 1 shutout, FAILED TO MAKE PLAYOFFS
Price is superior in EVERY SINGLE STAT. (Not to knock Bernier, who was the ONLY reason the leafs finished 23rd and not 30th!)
Kessel: 82 games played, 37 goals, 43 assists, 80 points. MINUS 5. FAILED to make playoffs. 14.3% on faceoffs.
Seguin: 79 games played, 37 goals, 47 assists, 84 points. PLUS 17. MADE playoffs. 41.5% on faceoffs.
Seguin is younger, less expensive, and BETTER in every way. Yet ANOTHER botched move by leaf management (thank Burkie for this one).
BTW, Taylor Hall tied Phil in points (80) even though Taylor played 7 FEWER games. Oh yeah, he's ALSO younger, less expensive and BETTER than Phil.
And finally, if Phil REALLY loves it in the Center of Hockey Loserdom, it's only because he can have Tyler as his rent-free roommate.
Really? Looks like the same old same old, with the leafs FAILING to make the playoffs as usual.
Here are Orr's stats on the completed season:
Games played 54
Goals ZERO
Assists ZERO
Points ZERO
MINUS 3
Beatdowns? You HAVE to be kidding.
One more USELESS and WASTED roster spot on the 23rd place leafs.
Lupul is second to only SID THE KID!If he can stay healthy he will be a top 10 scorer in the NHL. bwhahahaahahaah
Lupul - by his very fragile standards - stayed fairly healthy, playing 69 games.
In 69 games he managed 22 goals and 22 assists - not bad but EXTREMELY far from being a top 10 or even top 30 (!) scorer EVEN if we pro-rated it to 82 games, it would be around 53 points. You lose...again.
Well, with that kind of geriatric performance, I guess the Leafs don't have much to worry about when they'll play against the "Dead" Wings a couple of months from now!
Wings beat leafs 3 of 4 times they played.
Wings made playoffs. Leafs FAILED.
Wings finished with 93 points, leafs with 84.
NO FREAKIN' CONTEST!
Mr. Alfredsson MADE the playoffs. His former team, the "beloved Senators" did not...and (needless to say) the pitiful leafs FAILED...as usual... to come CLOSE to making the playoffs.
1. The leafs aren't that young.
2. The Wings aren't that old.
3. The Wings are out-and-out BETTER than the miserable leafs...as the FACTS have proven yet AGAIN this season.
Yes, the Leafs are now a young and hungry team, with depth. As for the Wings, what would happen if Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Howard went down? Can you imagine??
1. The leafs have "depth" all right - they ended up "deep" down in 23rd place, well OUT of playoff contention.
2. You don't have to imagine: The Wings were without those three for huge chunks of the season...and they still made the playoffs and finished 9 points ahead of the hopeless leafs.
Question: Since the toronto maple leafs again FAILED to make the playoffs this season, is it time to sell the house and start rebuilding from scratch? Will Carlyle survive the season since they FAILED to make the playoffs. Have the players tuned out to his nonsense?
Final stats on season:
Montreal allowed 204 goals.
Toronto allowed...wait for it....256 GOALS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That pretty much sums up the Red Wings' record against the Panthers, who dominated the broken wings all season long.
Wings=some skill, some luck, no guts, no pride. ZERO!
'Crusty' barely made the playoffs with the broken wings. Barely. They snuck in through the back door and in the LAST playoff position. They'll quickly get booted out by the Boston Bruins, a team with skill, pride, guts & the will to win. I predict the Bruins in 5. You see, making the playoffs for a lousy team like the broken wings is a total waste of time. I'm also curious at how many empty seats we'll be seeing at the Detroit (a.k.a. America's favorite slum) games considering the cost of tickets will be higher than usual & the fact the Detroit economy is down the dumpster.
