Nikota - Tags: #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:15 Leaf writers all over the Barilkosphere are reflecting back on the first quarter of the season, and how this Leaf team stacks up to last year's squad. There are plenty of bright spots, including the MacArthur-Grabovski-Kulemin line, Schenn's development, Gustavsson's emergence, and the team's ability to clamp down defensively. Of course, there are some other less-exciting things to discuss as well, such as Bozak's complete disappearance, the team's struggles to score, and, as James Mirtle puts it "a Jekyll and Hide" act every game - you never know which team you're going to see. Personally, I see a team that has marginally improved, and though I'll refrain from making any bold predictions, I expect to see this team finish higher than last year. Of course, we all expected a higher finish than 29th last year. Some figures from Mirtle's 20-game review: > | **Season** | **GF/G** | **GA/G** | **SF/G** | **SA/G** | **SV%** | **PP%** | **PK%** | | | > | ---------- | ------------- | ----------- | ---------- | ------------- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | | | > | 2009-10 | 2.56 (T-25th) | 3.21 (29th) | 32.6 (5th) | 29.8 (T-13th) | .892 (30th) | 14% (30th) | 74.6% (30th) | | | > | 2010-11 | 2.35 (T-26th) | 2.65(11th) | 28.2(26th) | 28.0(4th) | .905(17th) | 16.9%(15th) | 75.8%(28th) | | | More after the jump.
