Hate to say this now, but the team the leafs are playing tomorrow might be a tad bitter with them and are looking to make a point lol
The day after is still soooooo sweeeeeeett!! Lmfao! We did it! WE won!
For those keeping tabs, me and UGY had the same impact and points in last nights game as Mitch, so yes, WE won. All three of us won.
Mitch is sooo magic, you wouldn’t know he was there if not for the boos.
Wish me, ug, and Mitch the best for the playoffs! You laffs won’t make it and deserve all the shit you can eat! Me and ug have a workout as we prep for the second half of the season, so gotta go!
Just a reminder of how much the Leafs actually suck…
Under the category of total shot attempts differential, the Leafs are -357, good for 29th. They have 2,247 total shot attempts for which is 23rd overall. They have 2,604 shot attempts against which is 31st overall. After 51 games, it’s pretty obvious that this team is constantly chasing the game. The opponents are routinely taking more shots at the Leafs net than they give up to the Leafs.
For context, the best 4 teams last year in shot attempt differential was Carolina (Eastern Conference Finalist), Florida (Cup Champions), Edmonton (Cup Finalist) and Colorado (best team in the NHL this year). In 2023/2024 the best four teams were Carolina, Florida (Champs), Edmonton (Finalist) and Los Angeles.
Unsurprisingly, this year, the best four teams in shot attempt differential are Carolina, Colorado, Utah and Tampa Bay. Coincidence that 3 of the 4 are 1, 2 and 3 in the overall standings?
Quiet clearly, there is a pattern here. Successful teams and true contenders (Champions) shoot at their opponents more than their opponents shoot back at them.
It’s not rocket appliances but the Leafs just absolutely suck balls at being able to control the game and are incapable of outshooting their opponents on a regular basis. I don’t know if Carolina will ever be able to get over their playoff hump but if Rod Brind’Amour ever becomes available, the Leafs should spend every single possible dollar to get him under contract. His system is the only thing that gives his team a chance to compete and similarly could give this group of players a shot at contending. Berube aren’t going to cut it. This is the wrong group of guys for him to succeed with.
I concur. It’s time to sell. Looking at the standings, plus the injuries on this team, it looks like this season is toast. There’s good effort out there, but they just don’t have enough to get over the top. All of the early games were squandered, mostly at home. So many points lost in overtime and shootouts. The Leafs never really addressed a second line winger. Their best assets are all in goal right now and it’s time to move Stolarz. I’m not saying that Stolarz isn’t the 3rd string goaltender, it’s about his age and having him under contract for a few more years giving their trading partner cost certainty. Players like Carlo and McMann are great bargaining chips and should be looked at as assets for trades. The Leafs need to get younger and get some draft capital back. Tank now and get a top 5 pick is a must. The Leafs could rebound like Boston, if they stop procrastinating and make meaningful trades now. Time has pretty much run out and looking at their schedule, it’s gloomy. Too many West Coast trips and by the time they get back from the Olympic break, they’re basically dead in the water. Time to start the retool, not the burn it to the ground and start again foolishness.
Unfortunately the Leafs played too well for a 15 game stretch and now they BeLeaf they can be a wild card pretender.
It will be impossible for them to tank into the bottom 5 unless they lose 7 out of 10 games the rest of the way. It’s the same as hoping they can win 7 out of every 10 games games to make the playoffs.
Nothing good can or will happen until Treliving is fired. He is the new JFJ.
The Leafs should sell. They won’t, but they should.
1000%. Full tear down rebuild.
Jesus there is some grade A horseshit in here today.
And it’s coming directly from your retarded, shit spewing mind.
Marner who did jack shit in the late games in the series – again.
What exactly did Nylander, Tavares, Rielly and Carlo do in the “late” games in the Florida series? Oh right, sweet fuck all except be defensive liabilities.
What did Matthews do? Oh right, he scored one solitary GWG in Game 6 with Marner providing the primary assist. Better than what the rest gave them which was actually nothing.
If a team isn’t “good enough” then getting rid of one of your best players (with no replacement) while making your other best player worse (no more elite playmaker to feed him the puck) is a sure fire way to end up as 9th placed wild card pretenders.
Retard.
you cry alot about the past don’t you.
Gentlemen, tone it down or I will have to start banning.
Letting Marner walk for nothing, what a Sin.
it wasn’t for nothing but almost.
