Toronto's situation has been discussed several times. With poor possession stats and being horribly outshot regularly, not to mention giving up high quality chances and not just shots from the outside, it was only a matter of time before they imploded. The offense has dried up somewhat (as happens at times in the year to all good players) and when that happens the team's defense and systems play makes up for it. Well it's obvious they don't have much in the way of defensive systems or commitment and hence the free fall. Same thing as Ottawa, you can't expect to be a playoff team when you average over 3 goals against per game.
