Despite the score, they showed they are a far better team.

 

[LeafsNation75]

if WPG wins, it'll be easier to swallow if we win.

Winnipeg won 4-2.

For sure, the kids outplayed the sens in the first half of the game.

We can call up how many people again, 3?

After 4 or 5 more games:
Kapanen <- Leivo

After 9 or 10 games:
Leivo <- Brown
Marincin <- Loov or Percy (whoever is playing better)

Hyman, Nylander and Soshnikov play out the rest of the season IMO. Leipsic is just on 'emergancy recall'

Columbus win would have made it too perfect. . Can't complain though. Our kids played very well and the Leafs lost by one in regulation.

CLB helping Pitts making the playoffs, doesn't really affect the Leafs finishing last. But yes, knocking down Philly would have been nice.!

 

[Scion]

We need to get a photoshop expert to crop Marincin's face onto a marine's body. He truly is the tank commander this team needs, but not the one it deserves.

Leafs have lost:

13 ONE GOAL games in REGULATION
10 GAMES in Overtime

A .258 win % in one-goal games. We've definitely been on the "Lucky" side of the draw...

I don't really like 1 goal game stats in hockey, often times you see regulation 1 goal games turn into 2 or 3 goal games because the team losing pulls their goalie.

So if a team is really good at not giving up EN goals when they pull their goalie, and really good at scoring them when the other team pulls theirs suddenly they're winning 2 goal games and losing 1 goal games, and it looks like they're losing all the close ones.

Huge loss eh. Didn't watch. But wow.

Despite the disparity between these teams in terms of points, the result of this series would be FAR from a foregone conclusion. Given the star power on either team, I think it could go either way quite easily. If the Pens enter the playoffs entirely healthy (which they have not been able to do in recent years), they would make this a very close series.

Another thing to keep in mind is that even if a wildcard team makes it to the second round, their pick will not be altered. It is only in the conference finals that the four remaining teams have their picks pushed to the end of the round. If Pittsburgh were to advance to round 2 and then lose, they would pick in the same spot that they would have had they lost in round 1.

Thanks for info.

would be great if Vancouver and Arizona wins today. Would be a perfect night besides the sabres and blue jackets loss

Sabres picked up a point at least and don't forget to add an imaginary point on each team because we have the fewest regulation wins in the league and we win the tiebreaker against every team.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Losses smell like roses when the young guns are showing this kind of stuff.

Sosh 2x and Willie's that's pretty much 3 of the best goals already by any Leaf in all of 3 games. Really impressive stuff.

 

[rdogg]

Good night for the Leafs.

The kids play great, but they lose in regulation

The NHL needs to investigate the Canucks for throwing games.

not Vancouver. If we catch them with all ROW's then we'd be equal on ROWs(8 points back , 4 ROWs back). Columbus is actually quite close too given the point difference.(10 points back, 6 ROWs) if we were to catch up on all ROW's then it would only take 1 SOW from them for us to be tied with them on ROW too if we tie on points.

Everyone else is pretty much too far gone to ever win the ROW tiebreaker with them.

When point differences exist looking straight at ROWs to determine it isn't great because the team far back would have much less ROWs anyway. For example if Calgary and NJ were ever to be tied. NJ is currently 3 ROWs up, but given the 11 point difference, 5 wins(+ 1 OTL) to catch up, if they're all ROW then Calgary actually has the tiebreaker by 2.

I use points gained without getting a ROW as a better way to track it, the more points you got without a ROW the less ROW you would have if teams finish tied at the end of the year. Calculated by SOW x2 + OTL. We have 20(2x 5 SOW + 10 OTL), so does Vancouver, so our tiebreaker with them is essentially tied right now(given to catch them if all our wins to do so were ROW the tiebreaker would be tied). Columbus is at 18. Nobody else in the race for last is really close. Edmonton would be next at 15, and then it's Buffalo with 11.

canucks look like they will win! the tank gets even better

 

[canadon]

A very good night for the tank all in all.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

except for the Columbus game, it was an excellent tank night.

 

[Leaf of the Mind]

Hamhuis helping their team further into no man's land. You can't make this stuff up.

 

[HellasLEAF]

this has been the best tank ever.

I like the odds, hate the lottery system.

Winnipeg-Edmonton play tonight as well.

Is an Edmonton OT win being greedy?

never can be greedy enough when the Oilers are involved.

 

[Faltorvo]

Agreed

Like coach babcock asks

fight for every inch of ice out there.

It's 40/30 time.
