Just fall off the Tree

So the Leafs will need to go 11-1 in the last 12 games to make the Playoffs, DO YOU HEAR THAT 11-1, YOU CAN ONLY LOSSE ONE GAME!
so this is my point I dont want to hear about the Leafs anymore, they arnt making the playoffs they will be in the basement in the end, so lets stop talking about them.
The Oilers are out and we dont talk about them, why do i have to hear about the Leafs every time i turn on TSN, or Sportsnet. Start talking about the Canadian success, like the Habs who are currently in 2nd in the east, or the Flames who are in 3ed in the west. Or talk about the team that is fighting for its playoffs lives, the Canucks, or the collapse of the Senetors. Now i know they talk about these stories (its the first time in a long time i like when TSN talks about the Habs cuz its actually something positive for once in my life) but the problem is most of the talk is still about how "The Leafs may make it" oh leafs just fall to the bottom so i dont have to hear about you anymore
Later dayz guys :D

March Maddness!

So i know we have all heard this debate before BUT... why does the division lead in the NHL mean anything! for anyone who doesn’t know what I’m talking about lets look at todays standings in the east (top 8):
1 Montreal Canadiens* 66 GP 81 PTS
2 Pittsburgh Penguins* 67 GP 81 PTS
3 Carolina Hurricanes* 68 GP 73 PTS
4 Ottawa Senators 66 GP 80 PTS
5 New Jersey Devils 66 GP 80 PTS
6 Boston Bruins 64 GP 76 PTS
7 New York Rangers 66 GP 76 PTS
8 Philadelphia Flyers 66 GP 74 PTS

ok so everything looks right EXCEPT WHY IS CAROLINA in 3rd seems to me they should be in 8th.
Why does the NHL reward teams that are in crap divisions by giving them home ice advantage. I like what the NBA has done and giving the division leaders in the top 4 but in my opinion the division leader should be given a playoff spot and that’s it no more no less.
Its time we put an end to division leaders getting 3ed place automatically!
later dayz
ps GO HABS GO 1st in the East baby!
