The Canadiens have more playoff wins than the Leafs in the last five years

14 wins in 34 playoff games for the Leafs and 18 wins in 32 games for the Canadiens.

0.41 winning percentage for the Leafs and 0.56 for the Tricolore.

We could even add another full year and therefore another playoff appearance for the Maple Leafs, namely 2019, and the Habs would still have more wins, given that the Leafs lost in seven games to the Boston Bruins that year.

So we’d add just three wins, making them 17 in the last six years versus 18 for the Habs.

It’s crazy to think that a rebuilding team has more playoff wins than a team that’s been a Stanley Cup contender for years.

It just goes to show that the Leafs’ core is simply never going to win and needs to be dismantled.

This first-round loss to the Boston Bruins (because yes, if all goes well, the Leafs will lose a fourth game in this series) has to be the trigger for a huge shake-up both behind the bench and in the dressing room.

Just imagine if the Montreal Canadiens became competitive and Stanley Cup contenders again before the Maple Leafs did any damage in the playoffs…

It would be a monumental embarrassment for the entire city of Toronto.

The Habs might even end up playing the Leafs in the first round soon, and imagine if the Habs won.

In short, the Maple Leafs haven’t had any playoff success, and haven’t for far too long, as evidenced by this statistic involving the Habs’ playoff success.

In a gust

– Ouch.

– An excellent Bruins playoff power play.

– Just for fun – why not?

– What’s on today.

– Indeed.
