Related, Mudcrutch pulled out his spreadsheet and calculated that a collapse such as what happened last night can be expected to happen to a team about once every 4758 years. Or, in a 30 team league, would happen once overall every 160 years. Ouch!

Well said even though I am a diehard Flames/Bruins fan i feel bad for the Leaf fans getting crushed like that. But I loath the overwelming Leaf media. Of course I was over the moon crazy that the Bruins pulled that off.
Same goes for the Pens, I respect Crosby and think he is the best in the game today but the media favoritism of the Pens makes me dislike them as a whole team. Really wish Iggy didn't go there.
