It’s crazy seeing Vegas way up there when they’re only a few years old.

Poor Buffalo

Seeing Montreal up there is the real kick in the dick. They’ve mostly been a god damned tire fire but you know, I’d kill for a magical run that ends in heartbreak.
Edit: Honestly, this is such a great graphic. Completely bursts any deluded bubble I might’ve had. When you think too hard and analyze each series, you come up with excuses. You blame this player or that player or talk about getting goalied. Nah, sorry fam, this isn’t even pathetic. It is totally indefensible. Joke ass franchise.
Legitimately trade everyone and fire the entire front office next season if they don’t win two rounds.
Edit 2: I fucking dare someone to counter my first edit. I won’t even respond. I’ll preempt with this:
The god damn former Phoenix Coyotes, a team without a name and barely a home who played in a 5000 seat college arena have TRIPLE the series wins!!!

For how much hype the Jets get, only 2 more than the Leafs is pretty embarrassing

Every Canadian team above us

Now calculate this between 2006-2024 and we would be dead last with the Kraken.

Can’t believe Shanny still has a job after overseeing 10 of these past 15 years
Whatever mistakes Dubas made in terms of contracts, vision etc, it has all happened under Shanny’s watch

I find it humorous that a chart of simple arithmetic is sponsored by SAP.

Yup looks pretty shit. Its been lean years for the Leafs for sure but its a snippet in time. if you look at 1999-2004, they won 7 playoff rounds. Gotta go back 25 years though

I’m guessing they’re counting the 8 round Robin of 2020 for 233, then also this season which is up to 12 so far. So this is almost 16 season worth of data and includes a season with 8 extra rounds.
It really jumped out at me that the canadian teams have accounted for only 33/245 (13.5%) despite making up 23% of the league for the first 10 years only dropping to 21.9% between Vegas and seattle starting relatively recently.
3 of those canadian team wins came from the north division covid year, where they had to go to a Canadian team by default. So why do canadian teams win at only slightly higher than a 50% rate as American teams when the sample size this large? I would be interested to see the rate of playoff appearances of canadian vs American teams to better understand what might be happening.
Notably, the US markets that are bottom of the list are also hockey centric markets bordering the Canadian border with sabres/wild.
I used to think the “nhl is rigged against canadian teams” conspiracy people were nuts, but that’s awfully large sample size over a long period of time with looks to me to be a strong statistical trend.

Man. This was really sad to see. The Yotes have more series wins

How did the Rangers do last year in the playoffs?
What changed between last year and this year?

That says something. 10 of these years Brendan Shanahan has been president. Overseeing the overall product that has been dismal at best with a ton of talent coming through the doors of MLSE. What a joke this franchise is. Fan 50 years. Brutal
