Well, that or ignorant of the concept of an upset in sports. But, hey, I'll leave that up to you.
What about the 91-92 North Stars. Lowest ranked of the 16 teams knocks of 1st overall chicago and 2nd overall st.louis on their way to losing against the star laden pens in the finals. Not only is it not silly, its been done before.Madferret said:Saint Nik said:Madferret said:princedpw said:moon111 said:Honestly if the Leafs make the playoffs, they'd be on such a roll that the 1st round could be allot more interesting then most would think.
The Leafs have played the rangers a couple of times this season and won. If they started playing a 7-game series with the Rangers today, the Rangers would certainly be favoured but I just wouldn't be all that surprised to see the Leafs take the series. There's enough luck in hockey and the teams aren't as widely separated as in other sports.
It just wouldn't be like the Raptors playing the Miami Heat where it would be the sign of the apocalypse if the Raptors were to win any multi-game series.
Are you being serious with this post? You think the Leafs would win a 7 game series against the league best Rangers?
It's impossible for anyone not trolling to read what was said in what you're quoting as anything other than the Leafs could win. Nobody has said that the Leafs would be the favourites or anything close.
I don't think I need to be "trolling" to point out how silly the suggestion of a 12th place team taking out the leagues best is.

The old 12th over 1st round one upset.

I don't know, 24 point gap between Toronto and NYR...almost brings you back to the 19-point gap between Ottawa and Toronto in 2000-2001....

They need to win 2 of the next 3 against 3 good teams. Of course, repeat "they need to win 2 of the next 3" all the way til the end of the season.
They may need to play even better than that. I ran the numbers a few games back and got over .765
I was basing that on 93 points though, the threshold may be lower this year.
Course I ain't no math whiz.
We need cw's genius to give us the official number.
That's usually followed up by the realization that Detroit is the only team currently hitting the resulting winning percentage.
