And as I keep pointing out, you'll never have the quantities of data required to make that kind of statement with any confidence. For instance, why do the Leafs get halfway through the season and then start sucking? It's been the same story 15 years running now. You'd like to be able to point to one factor that was constant, but every element of the team and the league has changed at every level, from the coaching to the management to the players to the rules to the rink they play in. The only thing that hasn't changed is the size of the puck, but nobody's claiming that that's why the Leafs can't win. Moronic tangent over! I shouldn't post after midnight.
