Going back to hibernation for a year ... cat's hibernate right?

Last season, they where winning games they shouldn't been winning.

Seems a tad different this season.

But yes... 9 games in.

well they've only lost once so far and that was over 2 weeks ago. there just aren't any negatives to talk about. once an inevitable bump in the road hits we'll all be in hysterics so let's just enjoy this.

I don,t expect them to sink like last season. But I don't expect them to easily win the East

i saw that written in an article somewhere and i gotta disagree. that 9-0 start last year, they played excellent hockey. they led the league in goals until early December and they were among the league's top possession teams too.

this year's team seems to be a bit weaker in terms of possession but also a bit more stable defensively. we'll see how it all shakes out though.

It's good to be a cat ... and we have nine lives to sleep through.

Will Plek score a goal this year?

i said all along that they would battle Tampa for the division and i still think that will be the case. they will cruise to a playoff spot, the question is whether or not they are better built to score goals in the playoffs than they've been in the past...

Same here ... looks good so far but this is far from a done deal.

so far he looks like it. a well functioning PP would also be gigantic so hopefully that keeps up...

i missed that last 3 games, was travelling. sounds like the games against NYI and Tampa were good performances but Toronto was a stinker.

No kidding Marty.

They're giddy like a bunch of school girls..

The guys had no jump and couldn't sustain pressure in the offensive zone as they usually do ... combination of fatigue and Leafs playing a good game?
