Yeah, I was hoping for much better from MM. He does a decent enough job of denying zone entries (I've seen him many times deny forwards from getting in by using his stick well), but whenever he has the puck on his stick and has to make a play it's like he's trying to play with a (frank)ing grenade...
- lumlums

He's a weak skater and as you said can't handle the puck to make a play. Whatever value he may have (or precived to have) with zone entry denials is mitigated by his worthlessness everywhere else.


I hope to hell he isn't back next year. Soooooo many better options.

And I doubt Babcock is tanking. What were they supposed to do, play Marner at 160 pounds?

It's funny, people say the Leafs shouldn't be 'tanking', they should win more games and be higher in the standings. How, exactly? How would one go about that?

By being honourable like the noble and infallible Canucks obviously.

What I need to know is how many Norris titles will Gardiner win based on this chart?

Cowen?

Not gonna lie.
Even with some of the kids playing.....my interest in this game faded fast.

I keep telling myself anywhere in the top 3 of the draft will be great, BUT.... we need to draft Matthews.

I'll be honest. I have no idea what this means. Do the Leafs plot well or poorly on the graph?

There is an approximate (crudely calculated) 50% chance the Leafs draft 4th

We should know by the 13th of April if they are picking 1st overall.

Does this team have the most 1 goal losses in the league or what?

They gotta be close

they've had several blow outs.

(frank) yeah, they gotta be close.

You can be competitive and still lose. Hence the 1-goal game query

Not nearly as many as expected.


Many more one goal losses than you'd think.

- WingmanWillie

They have the worst goal differential in the league ( -36 ) along with Edmonton.

So, yeah, I don't know...

The team played very well against the Caps last night, especially considering the Caps are considered a juggernaut this year given their record.

Young guns again held their own and played well, there was a good write up on Soshnikov and how Shanahan found this player in the KHL.

Guys like Holland seem to be stepping up with that nice play to Greening.

Man O man Marincin is fully on board with the tank though, good gawd he is unable to cover or move guys in front the net.

Nylander, Hyman, Kapanen.

0 goals.

0 assists.

0 points.

Bust, bustier, bustiest.

Ha ha ha - you pathetic Leafs fans are always the same - drafting small crapz that don't score or amount to anything!

Plan the parade!

1967!
