15 teams will miss the playoffs, just this season... big deal.
1 team ever, suffered a loss, to an Emergency backup goaltender (Scott Foster was not credited with the win in his game a couple years ago)..... and thats the Leafs.
I'm laughing at every Leaf fan I know.
Tkachuk ... he may be a great player, but I really am happy we picked Kotkaniemi instead of this guy. I just wouldn't want to see him wearing a CH sweater. Sorry.
No, they are playing an AHL team,
calm down,
Trade the players you need to move,
If you don't its ground hog day. year after year of 500 hockey and no playoffs
I only said Winnipeg because of how much their dcore over changed in the off season.
I am sure theirs other teams going through injuries on D and still over coming them. Toronto is another team that has key injuries to their D , they're still in the playoff race. Columbus is another team who's gone through injuries and yet still in the playoff race.
I am just so tired and over the injuries excuse with this team. Every year that we're out of a playoff spot its because of injuries(give me a break!).
Winnipeg lost 4 top Defenseman this year , and they're in a playoff spot. Why because depth and upgrades.
Don't make excuses for having the same Dcore as last year and seeing the same results.
