This article serves no purpose other than pap for Leafs Nation cult followers.

Of more importance might be some information as to the various scenarios as to how the NHL breaks ties.  For example, who gets in if say, Your Leafs and TB end up tied with, oh, 93 pts?  What if these 2 teams end the season tied with 94 pts?

Who gets in if Your Leafs end up tied with NYI with 93 pts, or 94 pts?

What if it's NYI and TB tied with 94 pts, who gets it?

Or, does it matter if a team wins in a SO as opposed to regulation/OT?

That type of information would be beneficial and give fans clear understanding as to all the various scenarios that could play out.

But, this column is not 'bout passing on information, it's 'bout kissing some blue-and-white behind.
