The Stretch Drive Schedule: DIY Analysis (AKA I have way too much time on my hands)

by Buds'n'Syrup on Feb 3, 2012 1:57 AM EST

So over the past few days since the All-Star break I have been thinking very hard about the Leafs playoff chances and I was really interested in looking at the teams that have yet managed to prove to me that they are guaranteed a playoff spot in the east. That being all teams except for Boston and the Rangers and stretching down to the Jets. What I was interested in was schedule strength as well as quirks, like for example that Winnipeg plays 8 straight games at home. Essentially what I wanted to find out was based on all the games that all these teams play, what chance do the Leafs have to make the playoffs based on different potential scenarios concerning results.
