simple math.

Current record 5-11-7. So the Leafs have 17 points in 23 games. 59 games to go. 118 points available. Our chances of making the playoffs are about 1.3% last I heard. But we still need about 78 points of 118 to get to 95 points and a reasonable chance at going to the show. Meaning we need a winning percentage of about .661. The way I see it, if we win one game, then lose 2 in overtime for the rest of the season we can get there! I've figured out a way we can lose more games than win and still make the playoffs. If we go 24-5-30, we'll have basically won only 29 games, and lost 53 but we'll end up with a final record of 29-16-37 = 95 points. PLAYOFFS. and of course STANLEY CUP.

Hagman, better than Tanguay.

Leaf fans have something to be happy about in Niklas Hagman. At 3 million there aren't a lot of wingers who I like as much as him. Compare him to a free agent like Alex Tanguay (2.5 million) for example who all sorts of Leaf fans wanted in this year who has a similiar number of points, but only 4 goals to go with 11 assists. On the other side Hagman has 11 goals and 4 assists... so if I had to choose I would take Hagman!
