So, with the Leafs in the playoffs, who has the longest active playoff drought?

I just want someone to get to 11 years without a playoff appearance so the Panthers don't have that record any more.

 

[Montresor]

Best part is this (or soon) is right about when the Leafs would start to collapse.

I don't even understand how he could have gotten so confused

The Leafs collapsing and choking away a playoff spot isn't a regular occurrence. They usually start the season off terribly and then play well when they're eliminated. If this was an 82-game season I think they would make the playoffs.

Last year's team which suffered that embarrassing collapse was just another soft-as-butter Wilson team with terrible special teams.

i played goalie so that doesn't offend me!

I played D so I was the one that had to put up with forwards diving

 

[Simon Belmont]

I love how much shit Habs fans are spitting about the Leafs right now. What have you guys lost? Five in a row?

Edmonton now.

I think they're at 6 or 7 years...

edit: This year will make 7. They haven't made the playoffs since they made the Cup finals.

1 in a row.

1 in a row.

Sorry, lost 4 out of the last 5

Spoiler

I think it's now Edmonton.

 

[DopeyFish]

Kessel was 3rd on the team in hits tonight?

What in the fuck

 

[Smiley90]

Hansen has an unreal amount of breakaways, with how fast he is. He also misses an unreal amount of them.

Shouldn't offend you since diving doesn't happen with the exception of the top level in most countries where it's rampant

Edmonton

Edit: By time Calgary's middle schooler is ready for the NHL it will be more than 11.

WTF? You're seriously telling me you've played with people that dove?

If the Leafs were able to go deep in the playoffs I'd be losing my mind over Komarov's playoff beard:

I could easily get one too but I have an interview on the 2nd

Interesting question brought up by HFBoards:

CBC can only take 2 playoff series

Who would they take out of Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto? (Assuming Montreal and toronto don't play each other)

For one of these teams fans, it might be weird come playoff time

 

[Seda]

yay shootouts...

 

[Fuzzy]

Look, I'm not saying that Hitler would have been a Leafs Lifelong, but....

I think he would've gotten along great with Harold Ballard.

Wouldn't TSN just pick up the leftover series?

not to mention if the Jets make it, too.

Vancouver-STL?
Montreal-Islanders?
Bruins-Leafs?
Pens-Jets?

I'd say Habs-Islanders is probably the most boring, so it drops out. Bruins-Leafs would be a given. Then... probably Canucks-STL?

Toronto and Vancouver, Toronto gets the most national broadcasts currently in the east and Vancouver in the west

Don't forget the sens

CBC has 4th pick too, so they'll have 3 Canadian series if there's 4 separate series with Canadian teams... TSN may finally have a prime matchup for the playoffs

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Don't forget the sens

The CBC does.

 

[Smiley90]

Don't forget the sens

.. right, but it'd probably be Sens-Caps, which wouldn't get picked. Would be interesting if it's Sens-Jets. That'd probably be the only matchup capable of kicking the Canucks out of CBC, otherwise it'll probably be Leafs&Canucks.

EDIT: Franzen is an idiot, and Burrows gets 2mins for being Burrows. As usual. Gotta pad those Minor penalty stats! Burrows is really running away with his league lead.

High school.

 

[Sanjuro]

Congrats, Leafs! Possibly will see you soon.

 

[Chris R]

Nice shootout there, and a big win for Phoenix.

 

[Seda]

Kane's shootout goal was sleek. Crow stunk it up. oh well

 

[apocalidiot]

boo urns

 

[Marvie_3]

How many times are you going to fall for that same move Crawford?

 

[lamaroo]

CBC skipped the Habs in 2010. As much as they might want a western Canadian team, I think they go Toronto, and Montreal. They still might get Vancouver if TSN picks Sens. This could all be solved if Montreal drops to 4th.

99% sure the CBC will take Leafs/Canucks. Doesn't matter who either of these teams play they will get viewership.

Leafs-Habs and Canucks-Kings is probably the best possible outcome in terms of ratings.


Edit:
Boston has 2 games in hand and Montreal isn't looking too sharp.

 

[Heretic]

bad times :/

 

[Plinko]

All I know about this Wings/Canucks game is that the PA played an organ version of the intro to "Bad Boy" by Mase. I have no idea what to think about that.

 

[Heretic]

you can thank the Ducks for exposing him

Oh yeah, Ottawa/PITT was probably more tempting than Montreal/Washington

Still hoping the leafs get a sure win on last game of the season to hopefully set up that series

But bruins aren't doing too hot either

Northbeast is no longer beasting

Last time the Red Wings missed the playoffs, The Simpsons' first season started. Oh shit.

LOL. What a joke.

Seriously, Toronto has to be one of the top 3 WORST sports cities in all of North America, at least from an ownership and greed perspective.

Stop crying and get a job.

Ooo, Z with Brunner and Nyquist now. I like that.

This game is a back and forth of faulty passes.

Funniest thing I've ever seen is guys taking dives in co-ed recreational soccer.

As much a good story before the song can be used to build up emotion, a moment like this doesn't need it. All I want is that sick hook.
