Is that better or worse than the annual Leafs April losing streak?

Habs started losing more after they traded Monahan, a clear tanking/rebuilding move.
This year, it's Dvorak, Savard and possibly Evans. The first two will probably be replaced by Beck and Mailloux, who are doing great in the AHL, after TDL and I'm not sure what they'll do with Evans, but the drop off will definitely be less than when they traded Monahan.

Talking crap even when the team wins a little... wait till they lose one bad and this thread is flooded by guys waiting in the bushes that have been baited with comments.

Well if it strength of schedule matters and you beat the top 2 teams, then presumably you can beat the teams below them as well, assuming one is predicting wins/losses based on opponents records..
If strength of schedule dosent matter then well...frankly...it disent matter ever

Are you asking if it’s better or worse to make the playoffs?

The Wings not only beat two of the top 3 teams in the league, but looked damn good while doing so. I don't know how non-fans aren't at least kind of impressed.
No I'm asking if you consider losing in April is considered winning

No, he's asking is it better to have an annual winning streak after the holiday or an annual losing streak come April playoffs?
I wasn't being mean, I'm just big on statistics and trends that's all. Just relax, it's only game.

Same thing with different words, no?
Losing in the playoffs requires winning enough to actually make it. Seems pretty cut and dry that it’s better than a January winning streak.

I’ll take a January winning streak over the leafs playoff failures. All that talent and Jack Pooopie to show for it.
I don’t know what’s more embarrassing. Not making the playoffs after 25 years + 4 cups or having a boatload of generational talent and all they have is a clap on the back for playing another 6-7 games and failing again.

I’d say the worst leaf record, is never having won 3 rounds ever.

Credit to them, they are playing really well since the coaching change.

Sounds like you need to re watch some actual leafs SC wins from 60000 years ago. I hope you can find them on YouTube

still trying to trust the yzerplan
5 in a row. Lalonde was a major issue. I said it. Others said it. People insisted we were stupid and Lalonde was doing as well as he could with the roster. Never change, HF.
To be clear the roster still does suck overall but as you can see they should not have sucked nearly as bad as Lalonde made them suck.

Didn't catch tonight's game but in the rest I've seen they've been playing much better. Say what you want about McLellan but he's at least an nhl coach. Lalonde really shouldn't have been one.
Kindve insane how many people I talked to in this thread that claimed they didn't personally care about Detroit yet won't touch this thread right now

This thread was full of sens fans not that long ago, eerily quiet for the last 4 games, definitely wont be in here after tonight
No, man, I swear it isn't personal! I'm basing it off the past 7 years, I'm not just in here after every loss!
I think a better question is will they ever lose a game ever again?
