General Leafs Talk v2.0

[losveratos]

I honest think the best road road to recovery would be to tank for the 2015 NHL entry draft.

Personally, I'm not entertaining that as a reasonable expectation for the Leafs at all. The time for the Leafs to bottom out isn't now or next season, it was over the last 3-6 years.

Is it against the rules to play without a goalie for 60 minutes every game? I think if we did that, even with 6 Crosbys on the ice we wouldn't win.

The Leafs never faced any discipline for playing Toskala regularly, so I assume the answer is no.

Boom...

More and more, I'm understanding value of hockey analytics to media.  It helps avoid inconvenience of having to actually watch the game.

I'm understanding value of repeating everything an exec says about their team. It helps avoid inconvenience of having to actually think.

The "not watching the game" argument is just the absolute worst.

Derp.

Jerry D'Amigo goes down to the Marlies to make room for Holland, who had three goals in two AHL games. #leafs

jonasTSN1050: Leafs actually have more shootout wins (6) since the start of Nov. than in regulation/overtime (5).

I actually count 7 shootout wins, but, the point still stands.

The Toronto Gunslingers

I remember looking at the standings in the start of Novemeber and thinking Toronto was doing a great job of avoiding the shootouts and OT's.....How things have changed.

I hadn't seen that, and I must admit, that's a pretty good impression.

Had to be the one player on the Flyers better than JVR.

He'd be America's best centre. By like, a lot.

Columbus won tonight, giving them 48 points. 2 points separate 1 through 7 in the wildcard standings. 5 of those teams have a game in hand on the Leafs and they are all well ahead of Toronto in the tie-breaker category.

It's going to be a crazy tight crazy for those final two spots.

Giroux .89 pts/game.  +1, 50.9 FO% 17 giveaways, 27 takeaways.
Bozak  .83 pts/game.  +5, 49.1 FO%  8 giveaways, 19 takeaways.
Better then JVR?  I'd say he's a Bozak at best.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So Giroux has a better PPG this season in double the number of games and a .87 career PPG while Bozak has a career .59 PPG, yet he's "a Bozak at best"?
