The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially in a slump.
After losing in overtime last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs have lost five of their last seven games.
On paper, it sounds terrible.
But in reality, results fluctuate wildly in the NHL, and there is no point in being upset about it because from October 27th to February 9th, the Leafs went 28-6-2 and won over 80% of the points available to them.
No team is that good, and thus, the cost of regression to the mean is that you lose a bunch of games you would normally win.
