Forgive me, I'm going to throw this up here again - mostly because I want to talk about the goals against:


Atomic Wedgie's Keefe's Leafs Extrapolatorator


20 games. 31 points.

Extrapolated over an 82 game season, that would be 127 points - 5 points shy of the Habs' all-time record. Washington is currently on pace for 120 - tops in the league.

82 goals for in 20 games. Extrapolated over an 82 game season, that's 336 goals. Nowhere near the 83-84 Oilers - 446 goals for. Yeah, doubt that one will ever be broken. But last year, Tampa was top team with 325.

54 goals against in 20 games. Extrapolated over an 82 game season, that's 221 goals against. Hold on to .HoHo.'s hat - that would have been the 5th best GA in the league last year. So for those of you who are saying that the Leafs are giving up too many goals under Keefe, it's simply not statistically accurate. In fact, it's wrong.

Goal differential: it would be +115 goals. Last year, Tampa was tops at +103.

Yeah, yeah, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

But the numbers are startling enough to force even Drunken Canuck and other haterz to admit that something pretty special is going on here.

You can't win with a league worst defense.

During this great run, Tampa has actually made up ground and is now only one point behind with two games in hand.

I think the context here is important, almost certain Bolts will be 1st round opponent in playoffs and this is a head to head fight for home ice advantage.

He did ask what it would have predicted for STL in Dec which they were at that point last.

Probably same as everyone else. They will win the cup, Duh!

Are we gonna see a lot more of Hutch going forward? We don't have many back-to-backs left and he is getting more and more confident in goal..

I am pretty much convinced at this point that if Keefe was the coach last season the Leafs beat Boston.

It was a close enough series, edge was to Bos in PP basically.

If Keefe had been named headcoach 4 years ago, the Leafs would already have 5 cups imo!

For sure. The results speak for themselves.

But as winsix said, speaking of his potential impact in past events is just silly.

Do people even use Craig's List anymore? Probably why he's having a tough time selling them!

Babcock's coaching was a joke. Eve Boston players were shocked by how little Leafs best players played.
