I was wondering what you guys were beaking off about, so I went and had a quick look/read. What the (frank) is that drivel, Im assuming the rough draft was written in crayon
- poohcrumbs

it's so bad..... What kind of idiot writes that nonsense. How dumb do you have to be to write a blog claiming to have talked to members of the bog and the coach himself.


can't believe he pays to go to the games to "report" on them. Serious serious issues.

It was like a 12 yr old wrote it.

No wonder the guy is working for himself.

what is this?

oh good grief, they broke the rules and got caught. same thing happened to New Jersey. the Leafs don't get screwed. no one does.
- DoubleDown

New Jersey actually got a warning first. The Leafs did not. New Jersey's penalty was later dramatically decreased. The Leafs penalty was not.

They should be solidly in 30th and about 4 points away from 29th.

We have a top 6 consisting of Komarov, Matthias, Bozak and PAP.
- walshyleafsfan

I told Blozak was a decent second line centre.

Babcock said he has never seen a schedule like this to start the season in all the years coaching in the NHL, welcome to Toronto Mike.

It's still funny that people actually believe the Leafs get preferential treatment.
- LeafMan

Last year there was a breakdown of the schedule floating around out there based on back-2-back tired/rested games for each team. Leafs had the 2nd worst schedule. I may be mistaken but i dont think they've played a "tired" team yet this year while being the tired team 3 or 4 times. They'll be a "tired" team playing a "rested" team again on Saturday.

Boom.

maybe 100 shots over a full season..so 7-8 goals?
- senstroll

Is that Reimer in net or Bernier? cause i think estimate is a little skewed if it's Bernier.

Rangers were on back to back

not meaningless but certainly not all there is to hockey. i think if you're out-possessing teams for the most part, you're doing a lot of things right.
- DoubleDown

What people understand as "Possession" is not being calculated or reported.

Maybe thats what Babcock meant with there is going to be pain...

Still subjective, we are listening to a person telling us what the possession is, it is like listening to what stat guys are telling us what a giveaway and takeaways are (and it is wrong every game), for the most part it is an opinion from one person. It could be interpreted several different ways by several people.

It's not reliable when based upon opinion from one individual.
- LeafMan

yes.

It is badly misunderstood. I remember a couple months ago Jaeckal had a blog about possession stats. Someone responded with some mathematical calculation of possession time that made zero sense because he didn't know what he was talking about. Jaeckal commented on how great this guy's response was. Senstroll may remember that because I gave him the quote from the guys post because Senstroll does actually understand what the numbers mean and how they are calculated.

Maybe thats what Babcock meant with there is going to be pain...
- senstroll

Not painful for him..... Gets fired after what 15 games and goes finds new employment.


Maybe leafs big plan is to hire (overpay) in-demand coaches and then fire them soon after and collect coveted draft picks
