No, the league just doesn't want you to win your annual playoff analytics pool.

There is no doubt Avs and Leafs are very close. The diff is really one team figured out how to close out a series while another don't. There is no denying that talentwise, both Leafs and Avs are on the same tier.
If Avs is considered to be one of the biggest playoffs flops of this era, then what do we call our Leafs, where they can't even pass the 1st rounds in the past 6 years and our top guys seems pull a disappearing act when it is an elimination game, I guess playoffs chokes should cover it.
Meh can’t speak to Tampa. But most fans are pretty fair weather.
The pens had Lemieux. Jagr. Francis. Cups and they were almost moved 10 years later.

The avs have been beating up on first round fodder for years now. They have had a lot of luck on their side.
Even the worst opponents Toronto has faced have been very strong defensively.
The difference is largely that Colorado plays in the West, and got to face far weaker teams without their #1 goalies, while constantly being gifted more PPs than their opponents.
Past 3 playoffs, net PPs
Toronto: -1
Colorado: +38
Did Mack ever disappeared in playoffs?
One goal combined for both MM and AM against the Habs.
Getting shut out by BJs in Game 4 and 5 if it not for the 6 mins miracle.
We can sit here and say, Avs had it easier….how often do the current Leafs lose to bottom feeders or back up goalies in the league over the past three seasons.
The boys still could not get it done nomatter who the opponents were.
Lastly, the goal is not to win a round but to win THE CUP, and it starts with getting 4wins then another 4 and another 4 and another 4.

F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
The only constant over the last several years is how Colorado always gets a large benefit in PP vs PK opportunities… in both the regular season and playoffs.
Remarkable.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheque.
Backbreaker this late in the game. TB is just too good. And they don’t even have their best playoff goal scorer in Point. Scary.
This is what we have to go through every year with this division. We really lucked out with the timing of our rebuild eh? Lol

Yup, they’re like sharks. When they smell blood, it’s over.
They have that killer instinct that we were supposed to have addressed last offseason when we added Ritchie and Mrazek.

The guy that a Leafs player had lined up for a blind side hit in game one and elected to fly by, scores and assist on two goals in game 6 of the eastern final. Fitting.
Tampa just knows how to win. They just find a way. Leafs just find ways to lose. Lose to Boston, Columbus, Montreal and Tampa. Lose to a Zamboni driver. Lose up 3-1. Lose up 3-2.

All without their leading goal scorer from the their previous runs. Impressive.
Vasi didn't even have to dress. No offense from the Rags.

Nothing more important than timely goals in the playoffs.
Kucherov is such an a-hole, lol.
