Stop Crying Mats

from Stan Fischler at the Hockey Journal,
• Mats Sundin crying about the NHL’s playoff arrangement is pure and simple sour grapes. Why would he suggest that it’s unfair that the Southeast Division-winner getting home ice in the first round is unfair? Sundin knew the score at the start of the season and said nothing about it then. That’s why we can’t buy any of his end-of-campaign bleating.
• Marty Biron may be the answer to the Flyers’ goaltending prayers. But, then again, his showing on Friday and Saturday suggests that Robert Esche and Antero Niittymaki would have been just as good with the mediocre squad in front of them.

Sour grapes or not, it is foolish to seed a team ahead of better teams simply because said team is a division winner. Among other problems, it can create “lose to win” situations.

Toronto would have done good to be seller’s at the trade deadline and have got some valuable futures for Sundin among others.
Toronto should be rebuilding for the future and not have bothered to try (and probably not make it) to make it to the playoffs.
Having said that it would take a gutsy manager to make such an admission in the centre of the universe.
Imagine the reaction at the Toronto Sports Network - T.S.N.
