He says the "Game 1" column is the # of games versus a team playing Game 1 of a back-to-back set, while the "B2B to date" is the number of back-to-back sets for each team so far.
don't the leafs play 18 back to backs this year? thats a crazy number...well over 40% of the schedule.

Things might get ugly.
Hey...McDavid may not be a looker....but that might be going to far.
I want to make the playoffs, so I have no interest in bombing the rest of the season. At any rate the NHL would find a way to make it so the leafs can't win the draft lottery anyways. Gary Bettman has no interest in a top rate draft pick going to the richest team in the league.

We won't get McDavid (barring a massive collapse or getting incredibly lucky) but if we drop a few more spots we'll be in Rantanen/Zacha territory. A couple of 6'3''/6'4'' centres with skill? Yes please.

They're not going to get into a position where they're among the favourites to win the lottery, but, with the more balanced odds the league is introducing this year . . .

Yeah, but, it's not the same foregone conclusion like it was in past seasons. The odds are much more significantly against the last place team getting the 1st overall pick now. Finishing in the bottom 9 gives you at least a 1 in 20 shot of winning the top pick, which is a big improvement from A) not having that shot at all for a long time and B) the roughly to 1 in 37 it was last year. Next season, the change will be even more significant, as the top 3 picks will be determined via lottery.

1) Lady Luck has to get on our side eventually, right? Right?!
2) I'll legit break down in tears if the Leafs win the lottery.

It would be among the most exciting moments in recent history for the team, that's for sure.

I would love it almost as much for how angry it would make every other fanbase.

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories that would come out of it? It would be amazing!
Nonis would probably just pick Lawson Crouse anyway.

But seriously, Leafs could be in play for Mitch Marner if he keeps being ranked outside of the top 5.

Good call Zee.
Once you get past the worst case projections, the wins will all feel like Christmas presents. That's fitting since Christmas only comes once a year. 8)
