PrintWho: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Colorado Avalanche
What: Game #4 of the Regular Season. Leafs 3-0-0 (6), Avs 4-1-0 (8)
Where: Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada
When: TV - 7:00pm on RSNO, Versus (US). Radio - AM640 Toronto
The Leafs will look to continue their early season success against the uglier-than-Yeti boys from Denver. Take the jump for some thoughts on the matchup and the projected rosters.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere and his surgically repaired groin make a visit to the ACC tonight. The Avalanche are coming off a big shootout win over the Habs on Saturday, and have scored an impressive 17 goals through their first five games. I caught a bit of the Avs-Habs showdown and I wasn't really impressed by Colorado. Mostly, Carey Price stunk up the joint. One thing the Leafs do need to be concerned about is the penalty kill. Colorado has six powerplay goals so far and their top-six is fairly talented. Matt Duchene and future Leaf Paul Stastny provide one of the best one-two punches at center in the NHL, and they're flanked by some decent goal scorers. David Jones and Milan Hejduk will need to be watched closely by the Leafs defense.
On the other hand, the Leafs have Phil Kessel.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people comment on and rec the caricatures in the threads when I post them, much more so than on the actual Fanshot itself. I actually intend the comments with the caricatures as a kind of news flash to get people who comment on the Game Preview and GDT threads but don’t travel to the Fanshot section that the newest one is out. Should I even bother making a Fanshot for these, or would they work better just as comments in the Game Previews or GDT’s?

Really it all started when some MHH members started making unfounded claims that the Landeskog line would do some damage against the Lombardi line. We called them on it, couldn’t get an answer beyond “they’ve been amaaaazing for 5 straight games now”, and so we started the logical next step of sarcastic mocking.
Fair enough. I do think you all may be underestimating that line. They’ve given fits to every team we’ve played so far. But we’ll see what happens tonight. The Leafs may have them figured out.

- Boston: Mostly Seguin and Kelly. A little PK time for Winnik and Landeskog, plus a little at the end had them against a top line. http://www.timeonice.com/default.html?GameNumber=20025&submit=Go
- Montreal: Diaz, Kostitsyn, Desharnais, and a little against Gorges and Pacioretti. http://www.timeonice.com/default.html?GameNumber=20050&submit=Go
- Ottawa: Da Costa, Greening, a touch of Alfredsson. Maybe two to three total shifts against Spezza. http://www.timeonice.com/default.html?GameNumber=20041&submit=Go
- Columbus – Vermette, Atkinson (recently sent down), and Brassard. At the 13 minute mark, you can see they’ve got a short shift against Nash/Carter/Prospal. Given that Columbus had last change, I’d bet that they were pulled off the ice to avoid being played against Columbus’ top line, though they do a full shift at 26 and 29, and score against Nash at 59. http://www.timeonice.com/default.html?GameNumber=20034&submit=Go
These aren’t even stats – the truth is, they haven’t been spending much time facing the top lines of other teams. At all.
One of the things I did notice, though, was that they scored against Nash and Spezza while they happened to be on the ice together. I bet that’s where this mistaken information is coming from.

And like I said in the thread over at MHH, I’m not doubting that Landeskog will be a very good player in the future. Hell, I also said I bet that he’ll score tonight, since all NHL rookies score a goal the first time they face Toronto. But my point regarding the “3rd vs 3rd” discussion was that some of the members at MHH would be foolish to (1) hold Landeskog et al up like the 2nd coming after 5 games and (2) dismiss the defensive and shutdown abilities of Toronto’s 3rd line so quickly.
I enjoy watching the Avs 3rd line and wish them continued success in the future.

To be fair, the lines are all scoring equally. It’s a big stretch, I know, to call them all first lines. (I’d argue none of them are a true first line as the team is sorely lacking in top-tier wingers. I mean, Kobasew on the first line? lololol) But they all have offensive weapons that have been giving the Avs wins lately.

They are greatly distended, he has eyelashes, and his eyelids move, and consequently his brain is in a state of constant irritation and distraction.”

Laich isn’t a second-line center on a Cup contending team, certainly not in the East. There were holes in the lineup. There are holes in the lineup. But there are holes in everyone’s lineup, and more of ’em on most teams than on the Caps.
Unquestionably this team’s failures have stemmed from more than just a lack of the “right” personnel, but to imply that fans shouldn’t analyze a team’s problems and desire upgrades as possible solutions is… odd.

It’s a tone thing. Hard to explain unless you’re a fan of a team that doesn’t feature three guys who regularly go over PPG.

The problem is that in determining Corsi, there’s a part that says “if the player is an Av, make it so they suck.” So it’s a conspiracy against Avs fans, and therefore shouldn’t be listened to.

I have some faith in Galiardi in the long run but never more than a 40 point player. The only guys you have in your bottom 6 I can see really leaving it are O’Reilly, Landeskog, and Stoa (though he is not looking likely anymore).

Stoa (though he is not looking likely anymore).
Understatement of the year. Stoa is done, at least with the Avs. He has no idea that he is 6’3" and 200 lbs. Until he figures that out, he will be an AHLer. We have a guy named Mark Olver who is a feisty little bastard with some serious skill. The problem is he’s only 5’10", 170. If ever there was a perfect opportunity for body switching, that’s it. If Olver had Stoa’s size, he’d be a top power forward in this league. Alas, he’ll be lucky to make it into the NHL. It’s happened with small guys, so who knows. Just such a shame about Stoa.

We’ll see how accurate that is in the long run. Pronman was really hot on that fact, but I wonder if some of it may have just been a hate on. Other scout’s liked him way more than that. If he does turn out to be very limited then Pronman will be a genius, but I am not so sure. Frankly if he turns into a 2nd/3rd line winger, Pronman’s predraft ranking of him is still ridiculous.

Grabbo screams high trade value to me. He was absolutely terrific last year, but that may partially be attributable to chemistry, he’s 27, and due for a pretty big payday if he continues to do well this year. Obviously this assumes his trade value is decent and he isn’t willing to take a “hometown discount”, if that’s an actual thing.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
All of you considering anything but re-signing Grabovski to a 5 year contract should be taken behind the shed and shot.

I’m not going to get into it now but I have beef with the peaking at 25 thing.
Not the concept that players get worse after a certain age, but the actual data and grouping collected isn’t representative for all players.
Maybe i’ll eventually make a fanpost about it but more likely I’ll give up halfway because it takes too long.

I hear ya. BTN’s chart incorporates players in other professional leagues, so it may not be strictly representative of those who are consistently NHL quality (though I’m not sure how you would look exclusively at those players, since injury and opportunity are such huge factors).
I still think this is important data, since I still encounter people who believe that most NHL players peak at 27-30. This just isn’t reasonable.
Which players peak when becomes the interesting question. There’s also the issue of how you build your team: do you assume that the 23-year-old will improve to achieve an unknown potential, or do you bet on the 27-year-old only regressing a bit from a known high?
Here’s my take-home opinion on this: according to the data I have, Grabovski has probably peaked already. I would welcome evidence that suggests he is a type of player that peaks later.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
He may well have peaked, but I don’t think the decline is sharp enough that we have to trade him. IMO he’ll be a useful and skilled player for another contract (3-5 years).
Shipping off good players for lottary tickets isn’t really the way I hope we’re building this team anymore.

What complicates the picture is the fact that he’s a UFA after this year and due for a very large raise if he keeps up the kind of production that will make us want to keep him. He may well be very productive for a few more years, but the price may be increasingly disproportionate.
I don’t know how much he wants; I don’t know how much we can get for him. Those factors could completely reverse my opinion that he’s a valuable trade asset right now. If the return is going to be a late 1st and he’d willing to sign for $4.5M per for 4 years, I’m all for keeping him.
I should say that I agree that I don’t want “lottery tickets”, but rather controllable younger assets.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
No because we’re going to trade out first at the deadline for a run for the 8th position.

Here are your top players by PPG last year
First off note that # 1,3,6 and 8 are gone and 3 and 8 were gone during the year.
So MacArthur’s 0.76, Grabovski’s 0.72, and Kulemin’s 0.70 . Would all have been # 4 on your team (right behind Duchene, Stastny, and Hejduk).
If you look by GPG, you have lost players 1 and 2 (2 being gone during the year). Kulemin’s 0.37 would have been FIRST on your team, Grabovski’s 0.36 would have been tied for first, MacArthur’s 0.26 would have been 5th.
So playing 82 GP really didn’t inflate their stats over Avs players all that much…

Not forcing people to participate in your awesome project. Forcing anonymous girls over the internet to send you pictures.

I was not intending to “force” either of them to send me pictures, and I don’t think either of them interpreted it that way either. The only person who seems to be creeped out by this is you. I am genuinely sorry that what I said came off in such a way that it would be interpreted as you did, and I will be careful not to repeat anything like this. I can assure you that I’m not some creeper trying to get girls to send me pictures of themselves. When people send me pictures I choose the one that I think will work best for the caricature and then delete the rest. That is all this is.

You think that’s sad? We’ve never won an Art Ross trophy. Whole pile of league leaders before 1947, but there you have it.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
To be fair, only 3 players won the art ross in a twenty year period between 1980-81 to 2000-2001, and only 26 players in history. It was a trophy dominated by the bests until 10 years ago when someone new would win it every year.
I’m actually fine with it; the Leafs have always had a silly little lunchpail persona going, and having no true dominating stars is part of that. I find the idea that when the Leafs have won they’ve won as a team rather amusing, even if it is a bit nauseatingly precious.

is that the douse it in water/liquid first and teh water evaporates so fast it forms a barrier protecting you? This is how fire waking works too. I remember seeing this on PBS once on some science show, the dude even put liquid nitrogen in his mouth and spit it out to prove it.

i thought the firewalking trick was just “walk really fast”. i saw it on mythbusters which means it is 100% true
it’s why you can walk really fast though, the water vapour provides a barrier to protect you, but doesn’t last forever.

KESSELBONER!
Kessel became just the third Leafs player in the past 66 years to score five goals in the team’s first three games of a season, joining Darryl Sittler (1978-79) and Wendel Clark (1986-87 and 1991-92).
