Fresh off of putting the boot to Ottawa last night the Leafs playoff odds are up to 85.4% via SportsClubStats.
Boston Bruins 4 (+0.5%) at Washington Capitals 1
This game is pretty obvious: Washington is playing their game in hand right now and are two points behind the Leafs. Since the Leafs are unlikely to win the division: who cares, go Bruins.
Pittsburgh Penguins 2 at New Jersey Devils 5 (-0.4%)
A regulation win in this game is better than it going to OT no matter who wins. If New Jersey wins in OT the impact to Toronto is -0.6% since the Leafs are also chasing Pittsburgh. Go Penguins, but mostly cheer for regulation.
Montreal Canadiens (+0.4%) at Winnipeg Jets (-0.4%)
On this birthday of Scott Gomez's last goal we'll cheer for the pathetic Habs to help keep the Jets in the rear view mirror. Spend some time thinking about signing 30 year old UFAs who used to be elite to big dollar long term contracts.
Philadelphia Flyers 2 at New York Rangers 5 (-?)
I don't think this game has any real impact on the Leafs, but strangely it's not listed at SportsClubStats for Toronto. Cheer for Brad Richards (that guy Toronto should have broken the bank for) to continue his recent hot streak (10GP 1G 1A 2Pts). Richards trails Mikhail Grabovski in the scoring race by four points despite playing three more games.
An interesting note comes via their website for people who were complaining yesterday about three point games never going Toronto's way. Check out the change from yesterday:
Total: +9.42%
This is the correct value for the total change. It might not match the sum of the individual game changes above it because the individual impacts are each calculated in a vacuum. To take an extreme example, imagine it is the last day of the season and 2 game results can each knock you out of the playoffs, say take you from a 25% chance to a 0% chance. Loosing the first game makes the second game meaningless, but I list them both as costing you 25%. The total is correct because I just take the teams current total chance and subtract their chance at the end of yesterday (or last week, depending on the sport).

Those impact the other teams’ weighted chances of winning against them. For example if Oilers beat Red Wings and Leafs have to play Red Wings still twice more that might mean the Leafs have a better chance to beat them in and hence the permutations ran through improve.

Luke Schenn and Tim Connolly only players with + Corsi last night. I know score effects had a hand in that, but Dion -19 Corsi – 15 Fenwick and Gunnarsson -21 Corsi -14 Fenwick is not nice.

Leafs allowed a lot of shots once they got the lead. Plus, many of the shots allowed were from the outside.

Ottawa was a shooting gallery, especially after 3-0
Tim Connolly was also invisible, other than that one play to Grabbo right in front of the net (where Anderson “saved” it with the crossbar/post)
No no, dig UP stupid.

His defensive stats have been okay for us, which is one reason I’m not really losing my shit over him, but 4.75M for a defensive C?

He’s putting up decent points on the third line.

Not bad at all.
But if we’re looking for cap space to re-sign Grabovski, etc. I’m looking to him and Lombardi and not expecting much coming back except cap space
No no, dig UP stupid.
Connolly’s other benefit is a veteran presence in the locker room. Plus he also just donated $100k to a cancer hospital and has a box for 10 games for sick kids. He may not be crushing it on the first line but he is a solid citizen

It’d be better for the Toronto Maple Leafs as a hockey team to have better hockey players, specifically better players relative to their cap hit
No no, dig UP stupid.
yeah, but solid citizens don’t win Stanley Cups. I’m sure he’s a nice guy but if were paying him too much, that sucks.
by pho king awesome on Feb 5, 2012 2:15 PM EST up reply actions
Also he is not a bad center if Burke moves to a Top 9 model. Then the rumours of acquiring another grinding winger makes more sense
like was said before. He’s playing like a good 3C. He’s being paid like a 1 or 2 C.
by pho king awesome on Feb 5, 2012 2:17 PM EST up reply actions
Brooks Laich by all accounts seems like a really good dude. That tire changing story after that playoffs loss sticks in your head.
But I’m pretty glad he didn’t make it to UFA so Burke could throw 6 x $4.5M at him
No no, dig UP stupid.
End of the day he was a UFA and the term is only 2 yrs. BB gave him more $ for less term. He was never going to play in Grabbo’s spot and Bozak just meshes better with Kessel and Lupul.

I’m not complaining about the deal really. I just wish more rumours of Toronto deadline trades had him included in them going on the way out.
Ditching Komisarek is not a real plan to get cap space, he’s not going anywhere.
Schenn for JvR seems to be the only rumour, and I don’t really buy the JvR hype.
Connolly on the way out gives us cap room to sign Grabovski. Trading Grabovski, IMO, would be dumb. No one is going to offer for a pending UFA what he’s worth to the Leafs for the next 3-5 years
No no, dig UP stupid.

It seems fate has decided to make Bozak forever his centre.
Luckily Kessel seems to be doing pretty good with Lupul on his far wing so far. Also, Bozak is his BFF and keeping Kessel happy is a priority.
No no, dig UP stupid.
We can say what we like, but there appear to me to be a fair number of games where Bozak is going, has the energy, making the moves, breaking up plays… and I’m not sure it doesn’t help light the burners under Kessel.
Not saying I wouldn’t prefer the Ralph T. Unicorn centering for Kessel, but Bozak does some good things there.

Ya I’ve mostly jumped off the Bozak hate-parade because things are working. Still don’t think in an ideal world he’s up there, but hockey isn’t always about having the best roster “on paper”, it’s about having the one that works and executes the best.
Whatever they’re doing it’s working.
No no, dig UP stupid.
I still think Connolly should be on the Kessel line. I’m glad Bozak’s having a decent year, but I think we could get more out of Connolly on that line than we’re getting out of Bozak.

by pho king awesome on Feb 5, 2012 2:22 PM EST up reply actions
Same. Leafs carried play the whole night. Still, 49 shots is 49 shots, and Reimer deserves credit for playing a steady game and not giving up second chances. His rebound control last night was excellent.

Rebound control and angles were spectacular.
It’s such an unsexy style of goaltending, but he didn’t have to make a single diving play, except for that one Spezza bullet they all looked like routine easy stops.
No no, dig UP stupid.
He made a couple really nice saves sliding side to side, one on Condra and one on Neal on what looked to be an open net, but other than that he just made sure his angles were perfect and let the puck hit him.

Brooks Laich hurt. Don’t want to cheer an injury and I hope for his sake he recovers just fine, but Washington is still without Backstrom.
With Dale Hunter running their puck possession into “lottery pick” territory and thin down the middle they might fade down the stretch.

Is this one of those cases where PDO failed as a predictor?
They had an insanely low PDO when Dale Hunter was hired, and it’s not like they went on an crazy hot streak lately.
No no, dig UP stupid.
Their PDO has improved, but their puck possession numbers have plummeted. Washington used to be a great puck possession team with bad luck, now they’re a crummy puck possession team with decent-ish luck.

Frattin scoring well
8 goals in 14 games (of the 47 the Marlies have played.) Fastest pace in the league. Also showing some speed, taking some shots, going to the net, coming back hard.
To compare, there’s only 9 guys with 20 goals or more so far this season in the AHL. And in terms of our other prospects, Kadri has 8 in 24… D’Amigo 10 in 47… Mueller 11 in 44… Scott 12 in 46… and Colborne 14 in 36.
So if we’re looking for a goal-scoring prospect down there… I’d say it’s Frattin. He just needs more confidence in going to the net, more defensive drilling. Bot bad that he’s there, but hope a space opens soon. Kadri and Colborne more playmakers I think – different types of players.
I shot a moose once, in upstate New York.
I think Frattin got caught partly by the numbers game and partly by the good play of Joey Crabb. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Frattin back on the Leafs before the season is out.

He scored again this season?
Or talking about his goal last season?

SHOULD be, but to be honest I don’t see anyone kicking them out of a playoff spot. Can one of Atlantapeg or Tampa really take their spot? Doubt it
well, that escalated quickly
Right now it's essentially 5 teams for 4 playoff spots
TOR, WSH, FLA, OTT, NJD
Obviously one of WSH or FLA have to make it, so 3 of the other 4 will make it as well.
No other team has more than a 18% chance of making it.
No no, dig UP stupid.
Fuck that Division leader rule. I hate that WSH or FLA could get home-ice advantage with less points than us.

I love that we could finish 6th and face Florida in the opening round.

Even though it was better for us if the Habs won, I’m sad they aren’t last in the East by themselves :(
My mood probably depends on the results of last Leafs game. I may have a problem.
Leafs should keep wearing whites at home and blue on the road
not sure if this has been talked about but for the last 5 games the leafs have worn white at home and blue on the road and have gone 4-0-1 (should have been 5-0-0). Is there anyway to keep this trend up or will league rules prevent it? I wouldn’t mind seeing this trend continue

I hate the look of whites on home and blues on the road.
But I can’t argue against success.
If I bled any more blue, you'd think I wasn't human.
I love it because that’s how it used to be when I started watching hockey. You went to games to see the other team’s colours.
Sometimes it seems this cycle never ends, we slide from top to bottom then we turn and climb again.

Leafs record in last 82: 43-27-12 for 98 pts.
Can we repeat last year’s spring run and go 16-8-6 pretty please?
What I wouldn’t give for that…

Hey to all you serious Pats fans
(not just casual ones like myself)
Tough breaks guys. I remember when Italy lost the Euro to France in 2002, after they tied the game at the absolute last second (after being pretty much held down all game). Still brings back bad memories. Well, before that, Del Piero had flubbed one or two shots at an open goal, kind of like your receivers dropping routinely catchable throws at the end of the game. It’s brutal, I know, and it’s the absolute worst way to lose.
Point is, I been there. It sucks. But you had three Super Bowl titles, so just remember the good times.
I feel bad for Brady.
His 16-0 perfect season ruined 4 years ago by Eli Manning with a miracle clutchiness with 35 seconds left to win the game.
Then again.. I don’t at all, he gets to go home to gisele.
I’d rather attribute that win to the run-and-gun/no-huddle offence that Manning and the Giants ran through that game. Rather than call plays, they just went with the flow during the crunch time… Belichik had no chance at reading the plays because none of the plays were pre-determined before hand. THAT’S why he couldn’t beat them, IMO.
Also....
I remember this.. It was horrible…
But at least we won the World Cup in 2006! (Also I’m pretty sure you mean they lost the Euro in 2004 to France…. 2002 was the world cup loss to Korea which was remarkably fixed and the refs were banned?)
As for you Giants fans
Congrats. It’s football, and the team that doesn’t make mistakes is the one who usually takes it home. Well, thats the Giants. Solid football that puts makes every error by their opponents monumental.
Congratulations.
thanks man!
Appreciate it! I HATE Brady, and I ESPECIALLY hate BULLichik. That man cheated his way to those superbowl victories… and now karma’s a bitch ain’t it?
