9 points in 7 games in 2018. Awesome. More of this.


8 points in the other 14... Not 10.893 worthy.

Counting points against the Bergeron line?

Slow down Steven...

I see the flaws in the stat. I see flaws at least as bad in putting much stock in Corsi or Fenwick or whatever.

At the end of the day, we can all think Matthews was great because he scored 5 goals, playing predominantly against the second line... but he was on the ice for 8 ES goals against, and still only played at a 70 pt. pace. That is not even in the ballpark of what we should expect for that contract.

Leafs fans, just like the Leafs players, are really good at ignoring the fact that there are 2 ends to the ice.

I want more out of Matthews too but I thought he was their best forward last night by miles ..and did it while being drowned by Jones and Dubois.

And just for some context of those 8 ES GA he was on the ice for against the B's ...4 were empty netters. He was good last year ...but I agree I wanted more.

For him to earn the contract I'm expecting him to get the better of Chara and Jones more often then not.

Ditto for JT, MM and WN.

Matthews was not their worst forward. His line was hemmed in many times by PLD's line.

I honestly think Kerfoot was their best forward.

Tanner should stick to pushing a narrative, instead of pushing a pizza stand.

Phucking mother-loving shootout.

WTF is the shootout doing in the playoffs? Round robin or not.

I don't even know what that means... I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

They gave up two goals at the end of the period.

You really want your team slugging it out in a meaningless game?

Good point. Lightning won anyway, so I can stop female doging about it. LOL.

Tanner is absolutely my favourite blogger. He epitomizes everything HB stands for - content free traffic. Bizarre hockey takes coupled with the uncanny ability to poke the alt righters who show up there every day and then run to Ek to tell him how outraged they are.

It takes a Canadian to teach them Yanks about late stage capitalism.
