Game 6. Getting serious now.



This series has been a bit weird in that it has kind of been all over the place. Two lopsided games in Boston to start. Two hard-fought battles in Toronto. Whatever the hell that was in Game 5.



On the flight in from Boston this afternoon, I had some time to put together some overview stats of what's played out, and I think they're fairly telling. What I did was compare the Leafs' results in this series to what they accomplished all season, something that gives a nice overview of where they've continued to perform and where they've fallen off.



Obviously, they're playing one of the best teams in the league here night after night, so it's going to be harder to maintain their regular-season stats, some of which were piled up against Buffalo, Montreal and Ottawa this year.



Still, I think the results are telling. So here they are, broken down by situation: 5-on-5 (score adjusted), power play, penalty kill and all...
