I know at least one playoff team he disappears against.

You can hide during the season, but good luck playing them in the playoffs.

And that's what it takes to win it all.

Well in fairness here he was just a kid then. Personally I'll give him a fresh chance when he finally does appear in the post season, with or without the leafs.

nice...where can I get one? (cross)

Agreed:

Kings record before sutter:
15-14-4

With sutter:
25-13-11

The kings are a bad example of an 8th seed. They were underachieving massively until the coaching change.

good point. They were underacheiving. They were also in a tough divvy. PHX and SJ were trouble over the course of the season

So it happens once and now it's the norm?

Plenty of eighth place teams have made the finals since the first lockout.

So if one example means it's possible, what do the dozens of 8th seeds that got their asses kicked mean?

For the millionth time, the Leafs don't have a fraction of the talent the Kings had. It's not even close to comparable.

So that is entirely Kessel's fault and the rest of the team gets a pass,yeah that is a fair assessment. Now I really have to go, I'm getting an angry stare, behave all.

If Kessel gets the glory when he scores against playoff teams, as you said, then why can't he get blamed for when he doesn't? Fact is, against teams like the Bruins, Kessel is non-existent. You can't build around a guy like that.

But never won, until last year. Plenty may be a bit of an overstatement. Flyers Oiler and Kings.

Yup, exactly, many factors to consider .. But once sutter got them all on the same page... They started playing to expectations.
