Numbers Stacked Against The Leafs

from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,
This is just the first week of school, but the Maple Leafs are already facing math problems.
Of the eight playoff teams returning in the Eastern Conference, only the Montreal Canadiens seem in any danger of point subtraction and only if Carey Price gets stage fright as their No. 1 goalie.
Of the six others that finished ahead of Toronto and missed the playoffs, count on the four Southeast Division clubs, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Florida and Atlanta to be among the most improved. Then there’s the New York Rangers, 13 points better than the Leafs and denied eighth spot by a Game 82 shootout loss. Now that goalie Henrik Lundqvist has agreed that time off is in the team’s best interest, they can avoid a similar fate in 2010-11.
So students, using the margins for your rough work, that would appear to leave Toronto at or near the bottom of the column again.
