ya so, Winnipeg won the Predent Strophy last year and look where they are now.
Hellebuyck won the President’s Trophy last year. He got hurt this year, the team fell off a cliff without him and they can’t recover because the hole was too big.
Matthews got hurt last year, Marner still had 103 points and won the division with Matthews being either out of the lineup or playing like shit half the time. Matthews went from 50-60 goals, 100 points now to UNDER a point per game.
What the retards did not realize is that spending money on Marner helps keep Matthews value where it belongs. So the Leafs thought they were saving money by losing Marner but they actually lost value in Matthews, which is retarded.
From 2016-2017 up to last year, the Leafs PP has been an average of 24.2%. This year, it’s 17.6%. That’s approximately a difference of 7 goals per 100 opportunities which would be an extra 9 PP goals thus far, could be as many as 18-20 by the end of the season. The difference? No Marner and multiple games that could have been decided by the extra 9+ PP goals. Could easily be an extra 10 points in the standings which would put them at 67 points and tied for 3rd in the division with Buffalo. The #1 PP player for the Leafs has been Nylander and Matthews tied with 9 PP points. Marner as 16 PP points. And he’s not even being used to his full PP potential. Last year Marner had 33 PP points, 70 more at 5v5. Huge drop off that hurt the team that they could not replace.
Leafs GAA from 2016-2017 up to last year was an average of 2.92. Now it’s up to 3.46. That extra half a goal game average is the defensive difference that losing a Selke nominated, two-way player has on the team.
Between the 33 PP points contributions, the potential for 70 5v5 points, his 5v5 defensive play, all combined, would have been better than -17 Domi, -16 Tavares, -12 Maccelli. Those guys easily lost the Leafs 10 points with their defensive ineptitude and those are the guys attempting to replace Marner’s 5v5 ice time and PP time.
This team failed miserably to replace Marner. Losing him destroyed this team’s ability to contend.
The team would still be out of playoff spot with Marner in the line up.
Anyone who thinks otherwise, is just foolish.Anyone who thinks the Leafs would not be in the playoffs with Marner is retarded.
They won the division last year. He had 103 points. Just his PP contributions alone would have propelled the Leafs into the playoffs. He literally proved it last year. And his defensive game would prevent a lot of goals.
You werent telling the truth….you would just whine and complain about people justifiably dumping on marner
No, it definitely was the truth, I was definitely right and you were definitely wrong.
Unjustified dumping on Marner. The proof is in the results and destroyed your libtard world view. 103 points with Matthews injured, 1st in the division, contributed to 3 GWGs vs. Florida, the eventual Cup champions. Everything you retards said he couldn’t or wouldn’t do, he did. Then you blamed him for everything, while Nylander, Rielly, Carlo and then Tavares got a free pass because of his pajamas.
And now the team is so bad even the beLeafers can see this team absolutely sucks. Maccelli, Roy, Joshua, Tavares can’t replace him. They suck defensively. Tavares is -16. Maccelli -12. Joshua -2 and injured. Roy +1. That’s the part you retards don’t understand is how much Marner helped defensively and how much he carried the puck so that Matthews didn’t have to. Now, the more Matthews has to carry the puck, the worse he plays. Matthews has to keep Domi defensively positive, who is also a team worst -17. These are the feeble attempts to replace Marner.
You retards were so busy worried about saving money that you destroyed this team’s ability to contend.
I sincerely mean it, time to blow this roster up and build it up in another way. I’ll always cheer for them to win every game, I’m a leafs fan, but this current team is a mess, I can say it.
Been saying it for a long time.
Problem is, being bottom 5 bad is going to be tough and risks the Bruins getting 6th overall. Plus Minten.
They need to find a way to dump all the expiring contracts for maximum value but still finish high enough to not gift the Bruins a top prospect.
Tavares is worthless defensively, watching him standing still in the neutral zone as Montour skates past him making him look like a pylon is exactly why the Leafs lost in the playoffs.
