Fun fact
Although none of the current Leafs were around when Sundin played in Toronto, he does have one ex-teammate on the Leafs roster.
Mike Brown played for the Canucks when Sundin was there, and actually gave up his #13 when Sundin signed in Vancouver.

The frustrating zzzz games have a consistent theme. The opponents hug, tug and obstruct the leafs forwards negating their speed and passes. Then they force the puck carrier to low quality perimeter shot or dump in. And we know how well the leafs forecheck the dump and chase. And then on the next rush the leafs repeat though occasionally kessel or a forward sneaks in behind the coverage for a scoring chance.

The difference is that the Habs know the Leafs have the better team and they’re on home ice, so they’re playing it perfectly by mucking it up and capitalizing on chances that go their way. And they’re relying on their goalie to make the saves, which is their game plan. In that way, they’re playing better than the Leafs.

Trapping teams do exactly that: capitalize on mistakes. They’ve prevented the leafs from scoring by mucking it up. And I wouldn’t classify those chances by Kessel as breakaways. He shot it at the faceoff dot both times.

Trapping teams typically don’t give up 45 shots towards the net by the halfway point. (see: Brodeur’s average shots per game in the 90s)
by Spezzal Teams Playa on Feb 11, 2012 8:59 PM EST up reply actions
The habs are not the same team as the devils in the 90’s (see: the standings) They’re letting Price handle shots from the perimeter, which is exactly their game plan.

It’s the same situation as the Blue Jays. Oh yeah, they keep improving every year and we know it, but as long as they can’t compete with the Yankees and Red Sox on top, it’s all for naught in the end.
Firing a coach after not making the playoffs after a few years is not a random point at all. It’s a normal act, and it has every possible occurrence of happening to Wilson. I’m not saying yes or no yet, but I’m also not Brian Burke.

I know it’s only one game, but I think it’s becoming clearer that we need to acquire a goalie. Reimer has good ES numbers, but in a small sample size, and Gus is wildly inconsistent. They both are, and we can’t afford inconsistent goaltending. Even if we have a consistent average goalie it would probably be better than what we have right now.

ok well
hate to break it to you guys but the recent string of hotness was when the MGK line was playing way over their heads luck wise and production wise. Their points are going to tail off.
The KBL line wasn’t as crazy hot – but they’re in the 2nd half. We also had crazy good goaltending.
We’re likely to dip again for a bit – but it’s not going to automatically mean we crash and burn.
if we don’t make the playoffs it’ll hurt but realistically we are still an 8th-10th place team.

At 22
Chara was gangly and awkward, and -27.
At 23, Chara had 9 points all season, and was also -27 again. Milbury pulls the plug.
At 24, Chara is a +30 with 23 points with the sens
The average guy on the Islanders back then was probably -20 (as I recall they were really awful back then). The Sens were much better, and Chara probably had his breakout year right after the trade.
Which probably continues to illustrate that Milbury is a moron. lol.

This wasn’t about +/- to begin with.
I’m trying to illustrate how young defencemen are inconsistent and unstable, which is why it’s too early to pull the plug on Schenn.
Then someone said +/- is useless. I agree to a point – if you’re -27 two seasons in a row on the blue line, you have made some mistakes that year.
Well it became about +/- (you referenced Brett Lebda, after all) but that’s a fair enough point.
