I know. I was referring to a period of time longer than 55 games.
In a single season, about 2 of the 16 playoff teams make it despite very low possession numbers. Montreal does it year over year through Carey Price. The rest either need to improve or risk falling out.
Not sure if this was linked up before - TSN Analytics stretching, trying to compare Leafs of last yr to Flames of this year...
Weakness of #FancyStats!

Last 88 games:
50-35-3 +31
If +31 in 88 games is luck, it isn't a black swan, it's a bright pink with green polka dots swan

stats.hockeyanalysis.com has us at 101-103 right now, and I am betting that is where TSN got the numbers from. Unsure why the discrepancy. They might be removing 6 on 5, dunno.
That might be it because NHL.com doesn't have a 6-on-5 column, so they must consider those 5-on-5 goals.
Have the Flames really scored 7 goals with their goalie pulled and not allowed any against when the other team had theirs pulled? If so, that's damned impressive, I don't care what the fancy stats say.

I was at the game tonight. Philadelphia out shot Toronto by a 3-1 margin and yet they lost. Bernier kept them in the game. The Maple Leafs are a very bad team.
Wow, I tried to watch some of the Leafs/Capitals game today. Hard to watch. The Leafs give a crap level is so low. I was hoping they would start winning some games that would lower their lottery chances. I don't think they will win another game!!!
He also takes a subtle shot at management "Dion didn't build this team". And, I guess, the other players who are part of the crappy team that was built.
