I have no problems in the Leafs thread . I raz them and have good convos too. They are not the same dorks from years ago. They have the same doubts and high expectations as we do.
And it changes every game .

Imagine that.

I dare not enter... maybe I'll check it out sometime when we play them.

Ek's threads are an absolute poop-show, though.

Interesting.

I want Jack with 5 shots on goal per game. But it's not just shooting, it's his decision to shoot vs. pass. He's trying to set guys up which is great, but those guys are Foligno and co.

Team isn't set up to expect the unexpected . They should always be ready for a pass and know where the puck is. Hockey 101 ?

Disco sits on any lead he gets. We have more leads, we still give up 40 shots a game.

I can only loosely remember Paul Hamilton's quote, but it was something along the lines of "Anyone that thinks Dan Bylsma tells his team to sit back once they get the lead is a special kind of stupid"

Update: MIN had considered E. Kane earlier, but I just received a text from exec--"not going to happen." Consider them out of that race.

Not saying you're wrong, but my argument against this was:

What's to say Jack didn't experience a sophomore slump right out of the gate

Other players production (Moulson esp. comes to mind) would have been negated by Jack's

The team might have looked to him too early too often instead of shouldering responsibility.

The team actually gelled better without him being here since they didn't have him as a sure-fire reliability

And our D was still suspect then, so for every goal he scores, he dangles and give up an odd-man rush and his production is negated anyway. And if not him, someone else.

Disco sits on any lead he gets. We have more leads, we still give up 40 shots a game.

We don't know what would have happened the first 20 games, so it's impossible to attribute his production to more or less wins.

He didn't have a "sophomore slump" when he eventually did come back
No reason to think he would have if he didn't miss those games

Right, yet no one can finish except Kane and everyone's trying to trade him except that one guy who says he's a 60-goal scorer.

That's too many shots for a setup man.

Wow. Would think Kane was up there. i'm sure he is.
- cabin



He's been shooting a lot less this year
It's one big reason I think he's been more successful
Taking good shots & eliminating many of the stupid ones

I don't think he is nor should he be a set-up man. Dude's a straight sniper. Needs to shoot instead of trying to set guys up.

Of course not...
but since he didn't slump when he came back,
I think it's much more likely to assume he wouldn't have slumped earlier
