The funny thing about that year was Leafs were in the thick of the playoff race, but then injuries piled up and we came in last.

I think if you miss the PO 10 out the previous 11 seasons - it's not really tanking. We earned that muthaf***ing pick

I don't have much of read on them either but I saw them play TB in the playoffs a few times and they looked amazing. I thought they'd probably be good this season, I have to way I wasn't really thinking in terms of them actually winning the division though. Sucks we don't play them until March, I'm in the mood to take on some good teams like right now!
 
It’s good for the Leafs to have the Islanders out of the wild card race, in case they win the Atlantic.

When the Leafs were tanking for Matthews, at least they put up a respectable effort. I don't think there were too many blowout losses that year from what I can remember.

It was all part of the plan.

They need to win all of their games in hand just to get within reach of a wild card team.

They need to have a .640 winning percentage the rest of the season to get to 95 points. Doable but very tough. And it’s hard to just turn a corner like that. Should they struggle into Christmas they’ll be done this year.

Shows how you can easily put yourself out of the race with a bad start to the season. Even treading water keeps you hanging around to make a run.

I think it's easier for Teams who get by on hard work with little skill to burn out and crash at some point.
What's happening to the Isles was inevitable.
 
I’ve caught a lot of Florida games and they are the most entertaining team to watch so far this season. It’s only December, and the games lack intensity, but they’ve shown to have some fight in them.

It boggles my mind people don't see how short term Lou is in terms of a manager. That he could be maxed to the cap without a single star signed (having to rely on an early retirement) is bonkers. To have a terrible prospect pool and not pick until 90th overall? The best coach in the world is the only reason that team even sniffs the playoffs.

As a Leaf fan I could really not care less about Lou, the Islanders or their Cap.

Remember when the Isles fans were being smart @$$es and singing to Tavares "We don't need you" and saying that the team became better because he left when in reality it became better because of Trotz. Well now Tavares should be singing "That's what you think"

Tavares is great but he probably wouldn't make that much of a difference there.
