Leafs at Les Horriblants

PrintPuck Drop: 7:30PM TSN
Friday is the actual date of the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal has been celebrating this for the past 99 years so hopefully the next time we play them they'll have shut up about their anniversary. On this the week of their birthday wouldn't it be nice to change our fortunes? Having lost to Montreal in OT on opening night and then in a shootout a month later I say it's high time the Leafs took it to Montreal.
Our defense is playing much better, although Gunnarsson is out hurt and will be replaced by Jeff Finger. Vesa Toskala is still "hurt" while he figures out how to stop a puck from going into a net which lets Jonas Gustavsson get another start after last night's game against Buffalo.
Thing is, you never know what you're going to get from this Leafs team. They came out hard and fast against Buffalo but couldn't hang with a superior squad. If they played last night's game against Montreal I think they would have left with two points so it's tempting to say that the Leafs can pull it out. At the same time Toronto isn't a good team and one of the obvious symptoms of that is that they play down to other team's levels. A solid effort against Buffalo doesn't mean we'll get that in a start against Montreal, but as a fan we have to hope.
Don't forget your SPG picks, check out Habs Inside Out if you want some Montreal coverage today, and go Leafs go!

Guy Carbonneau was on Leafs lunh today and he said that he felt that letting Komisarek go was the biggest mistae the habs made last summer and that he felt he was going to be their next captain.
Hopefully Komi lays out some severe punishment tonight and help propel his new team to victory.. I love komisarek and i really hope he starts giving us a reason to nominate him for captain.
Carbo also mentioned that the reason the habs let grabbo walk was that he struggled to play a team game, didnt use his wingers effectivley and demanded all the top line minutes and PP time that guys like kovalev, koivu, the kostitsysn etc were getting

because of the guys you listed getting the top minutes, 2 are not with the team anymore, the boob brothers had a little mafia problem, and the little Tit is a far more publicized malcontent.
Meanwhile, Grabovski has learned a few things over the summer and has taken steps towards becoming a more complete player.

I don’t think Burke would give Savard a similar 7 year deal offer anyway. He doesn’t like life time deals…
...Being surrounded by Sens and Habs fans makes me lose faith in humanity...
he better start liking them, otherwise everyone good will be locked up past his own contract
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E"
I agree
Problem is that he’s gone on record to criticize them and even request the league to look into some of them. I don’t see him ever going back on his word (like the offer sheet situation)…

under investigation. no idea why, there’s nothing saying they’re not allowed is there?
I mean, did the league get worried when the Caps signed Ovechkin to a lifetime deal? When Crosby signed with the Pens for 8 years, where was the incredulity then?
I’m sure when the next CBA is negotiated, the league will decide they want a term cap. oh joy…

Only the deals that have players surpassing the age of 40 would be investigated, since most players that age would not actually be willing to complete their commitments…
...Being surrounded by Sens and Habs fans makes me lose faith in humanity...
that would be an assumption from the league that could never be legally proven.
What if the guy decides he does want to play until he’s in his 40’s? What if Ovechkin’s bull in a China Shop style of play catches up to him like it did Wendel Clark, and he chooses to retire before his contract expires?
Ovi will be 36 when his contract is up, Wendel retired at 34 IIRC.
My point being essentially, who cares…?
I have nothing interesting to say.
by blurr1974 on Dec 1, 2009 4:52 PM EST up reply actions
evidently, Burke cares… He’s leading the way against these contracts…
I agree, there is no legal way of proving a players intentions at this point, nor is there a way to predict if a player will even be able to reach 36 and still be able to lace them up…
I’m just saying that Burke is not likely to ever sign a contract for longer than 5 years, and the current trend seems to indicate that players want longer contracts…
...Being surrounded by Sens and Habs fans makes me lose faith in humanity...
players want job security, these giant contracts offer them that, even if they get old or hurt, their pay day is guarenteed for a good long time
and it makes sense from their respective

I think GM’s will probably have to police this themselves.
It is (in general) their own stupidity for throwing these contracts around in the first place. Most of them don’t care because they won’t be around when it blows up in the team’s faces.

Players want ‘retirement’ contracts. They then know they will be making a certain amount of money and no matter what happens they don’t have to worry about negotiating another contract.
Saying that, I think these 10-12 year contracts or those signings that take a player up to and past 40 are stupid.

the league (the owners essentially) wanted a hard cap on salaries. Once that was in place, to circumvent the cap hit issue, GMs began writing contracts for longer terms to stretch out the dollars. The owners of these teams are signing their names on the checks to the players, and the GMs.
if the owner doesn’t like the contract, don’t have your GM offer it. Problem solved…

but you get my point. you can’t mandate fiscal responsibility. if the owners don’t like it, then tell their GMs to not offer them. No need to have the league investigate anything.

One solution could be to have term/cap restrictions on deals. For example, to prevent low-salary backloading, the total cap hit could be determined by the average salary paid over the five most costly years. This way you can’t pay a guy 7 million for 5 years, and 1 million for the next 5 to get a 4 million cap hit.
Or stipulate that no year of a contract can be allotted to pay 50% less than the most costly year.
Both of those solutions would alleviate the problem somewhat.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
It is already somewhat set up for that. A contract cannot step down by more than 50% year to year
IE
Year one 8mil
Year two 4mil
Year three 2mil
Year four 1mil.
I would just try and amend this in the CBA to a maximum of 25% instead of 50%

then went on to calculate how much he makes per minute of ice time and I threw up in my mouth a little.

He makes $9M dollars. Divided by 82 he makes $110K a game. If he misses two games he loses $220K.
$9,000,000 × 2 / 82.
You can simplify 2/82 into 1/41.

Your math seems right to me.
Pension Plan Puppets*
* Blog contains less than 2% puppet content by weight.
Figured it out:
Rule 72.v
For all suspensions imposed on players under this Rule, the club of the player shall pay to the League a sum equal to the pro-rata of that player’s salary covered by the suspension. For purposes of computing amounts due for a player’s suspension, the player’s fixed salary shall be divided by the number of days in the regular season and then, said result shall be multiplied by the number of games suspended.
Pension Plan Puppets*

So he doesn’t forfeit 2/82nds of his salary, he forfeits:
2 games times $9M divided by the days in the regular season, which is probably about $98K.

I believe I need a break from college applications. And what better way to spend it watching one of hockey’s greatest rivalries.

Leafs Scoring Chances
I’ve been tracking scoring chances for the Leafs since mid-October (only five games with no data), and have posted the even-strength stats here at my blog.
Check it out if you’ve got time to kill and are interested in the statistical side of the game. Would you be shocked to see that Kessel has the best differential per 60 minutes on the team? How about Jason Blake at #3?
Jason Blake has the 3rd most scoring chances on our team? We’re screwed.

Are wrist shots to the crest really chances?

Very good work
I also appreciate the Corsi/Fenwick analysis at the bottom of the posting. Interesting to note that Stålberg had a better Corsi and Fenwick number than Mitchell in 12 fewer games.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Leafs.
Oh and
same for Gunnarsson.
Basically what I’m saying is… the Leafs need to ditch the dead weight and bring in guys that produce at the NHL level.

It will indeed be now that I no longer have to suffer through any mention of Guillaume Latendresse. The most pug fugly name in professional sports. Like nails on a chalkboard.

Speaking of stats
I like when Damien Cox gives me something to blog about. And I didn’t even have to mention his responses to my internet chat questions yesterday.

Lately? Like the past 30 years or so?
