On a per game basis, they're 4th and 16th respectively. While being 16th in goals against per isn't spectacular, it's perfectly acceptable.
...and thats what leaders do, I like how RC as of late if the Leafs need a little kick in the caboose can throw Lupul on with Kessel and it seems to ignite the whole team. This was apparent in both the Panther and the Cane games.caveman said:I hope that Lupul's confidence passes on to the whole team. it looks like Kessel has fed off it.

That's with a bad stretch and "growing pains" of a young team as well. Defensively this team is miles ahead of where they were under Wilson.

Having good, and not pretty-much-worst-in-the-league, goaltending will do that.

Its also the players in front of the goalies collapsing in front of the net and taking time away from opposition shooters. Shot totals are high but as both goalies will tell you many of the shots are from bad scoring positions unlike previous seasons.

Honestly, I don't know how they have gotten to where they are without Spezza, Anderson and Karlsson. They get full credit for whatever inspiration they have found.
But on paper we appear so much better.
They have no players in double digit goal scoring. We have 4.
They have 3 players with 7 or more goals. We have 9.
They have Chris Neil, a middleweight. We have 2 heavyweights in Orr and McLaren to punish them.
I hope that we destroy them and force their weak old Captain into retirement.

If that happens on Easter weekend the Sens will rise up 3 days later...

The Predators have the Leafs' 4th round pick from the Lombardi/Franson for Lebda deal and the Leafs will get either a 4th or a 6th from Anaheim depending on how many games Lupul is on the roster for.

I remember reading it was 40 games on the reserve list in this season and its a 4th instead of a 6th for the Lupul deal, if that is the case the Anaheim pick will be a 4th.

Wikipedia has it just as a 4th if Lupul is "on the roster" for 40 games or less, a 6th if it's more. I don't know, however, how playoff games may count to that effect.
