Klingberg is out. Not being missed
Gio just went out
Lili - meh missed a little bit.
I doubt the results would be that much be different

I had to give up my ticket to the game cuz im sick
- senstroll

That's crappy. Get well soon!

They have Lagesson in their top 4 and are playing an unplayable timmins after injury and Benoit.

I’ll reserve judgment until they get healthy and add some D.

I just see Toronto media and fans going a little nuts for no reason, what else is new.

I have tickets for next Thursday nights game vs Columbus that I now have to sell as I'll be out of town. If anyone here is interested let me know / PM me.

Sec 318 row 10 - corner seats with great view of the entire rink they are e-tickets.

Not lower bowl so there are actual hockey fans around you.....



$350 for the pair.

Yeah that sucked when they lost in the first round again last year.
- Zezel

They won 1 extra game in the playoffs last year

Lol

1 extra game.....an "elite" team with "elite" players won 1 extra playoff game.

Well i guess 2 extra as they had to win 4th game of the final.


2 extra games.....an "elite" team with "elite" players won 2 extra playoff game

They accomplished so much.

I wonder how many regulation losses they have, no one's mentioned that yet. I'm guessing more than anyone else.
- Zezel

You really can’t. The National Association of Extrapolators conducted a survey of 15 people and from that determined that you can’t

I tried to get a booth at their 2025 convention and trade show.

Asked for pricing, but they said they couldn't predict something two years away.

They are, objectively, 5-6-11 by old metrics. To put that in good context, only the Bruins, Rangers, Knights and Kings have fewer than 6 regulation losses this year. The challenge is the .477 winning percentage that metric poses - it's not good enough for a playoff spot.

We know there's 60 games left to be played and we know this team is good and is going to get better. They are doing what they are doing right now without Marner really going consistently yet, without Matthews being consistent, while trying to find the game of Domi and Bertuzzi and having a relatively poor defense and poor performance from their expected starting goaltender.

We've seen Domi and Bertuzzi start to play more consistently and better and find their roles. The emergence of Robertson is helping the third line. Knies still has to find a bit more to his game but top line pressure is hard for a rookie. That space and those doors will open for him when Marner and Matthews find their groove. And while Samsonov labours and battles injury and illness, Woll has stepped up and is playing fairly well.

When I crap on them, I'm not passing judgement on who they are at their core nor do I believe that the problems of the past necessarily represent the present team - but while there could be systemic problems from the culture, coaching or leadership, I believe that the Leafs problems are an example of right now - they can and should fix this.

So what you're saying is that they won more than Boston, Colorado and Tampa?

They ran into a team with an exceptionally hot goaltender. They outplayed them but lost. I mean they added two forwards who played for teams that ALSO lost to Florida and their hot goalie, but I'm not a fan of that fact so we'll ignore it for now. I think if you run into Florida again in the playoffs, Bob doesn't rock elite numbers and it's a much different series.

At the end of the day they'll get 100 points and be in the playoffs and have as good a chance as anyone.

Not at all.
Wasnt expecting anything from them.

All three of those teams have recent cups.

It's a must-win.

- Fakepartofme

The point is that the Leafs did better than all three of those elite teams that have recent cups. Do we all want more progress faster? Yeah, of course. But to kick the poop out of someone for making progress seems a bit counterproductive to the whole process.

I never thought I'd get so excited printing off a Michigan fishing tag. Gonna catch one of those American fish.

It's a must-win.
- Zezel

That’s why Reaves is in the lineup

Sounds like the entitlement is bleeding from the players into the fanbase.

Faster??

Bwahahaha. The good ship "Faster" set sail years ago.

That’s why Reaves will be sitting on the bench until required, or until he is traded for Logan Stanley

Agreed

He's gonna be a thick, chunky snot rocket all over Ottawa.
