Are we the worst team in the league with the goalie pulled?

[Purity*]

We have to be one of the worst, atleast. I can honestly only remember ONE time this year where we scored in the final minute to tie a game, and that was MONTHS ago vs the worst defensive team in the league (Edmonton)...


The last 4 games we've been in that situation, we pass the puck way too much and NEVER shoot, we never ever ****ing score the goal when we need it. Is anyone able to pull up any stats in this regard? I'd love to see how comparable we are to the rest of the league in this manner.

Worst team in the league with Reims in net lately.

Teams that just shoot for the sake of it with a goalie pulled often get scored on. The Leafs have trouble scoring from the point with traffic as well as from coming out from the corners. They are still a rush first team. Ironically they can't pass in their own end or in the neutral zone. They also can't reenter an offensive zone effectively if the opposing team chips the puck out. All of this leads to a very easy defensive system for the opposing team when defending a lead agains the Leafs.

They have next to nobody that is strong on the puck and can move east west instead of north south.

JvR is, to my mind, the only strong body on the puck. Kadri can create space, but he needs open ice to do it. Name some players that can retain possession behind the net? Nobody.

Are you Howie Meeker? Bernier or Reimer could retain possession behind the net, but that doesnt help if they are on the bench. If hey weent on the bench theycould do it bu then they would probably get a delay of game penalty andthen they would be in big trouble.

What are you talking about? This comment is baffling?

I rest my case.

 

[cyris]

I rest my case.

We scored with the goalie pulled?

The fact that we didnt score 2 means we are the worst team in the league with the goalie out?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

We'd probably be better with the goalie pulled than with Reimer in net

 

[Bardown warrior]

We are the worst team in the league.... That is all

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Are we the worst team in the league

Yes.

 

[sync95]

Franson wasted 4.5 seconds at the very end and looked like a beer leaguer out there with the net empty

 

[LeafsNation75]

Besides their first game against Edmonton when Lupul scored in the final minute after Bernier was pulled, I can't remember any other times the Leafs scored in that situation down by 1 goal.

Now I don't have the stats but I noticed that Montreal always seems to score a lot of goals when they are playing 6 on 5.

Naaaa, we just lack clutch players ever since Mac and Grabo left.
