Not sure if this is accurate, but the Leafs better take advantage if it is

If accurate this is the like us having the hardest schedule lol

This is not really true except for the Leafs have had their way.

They have smoked a lot of good teams this year and are just like the Leafs.

Win a few in a row. Lose a few.

Pretty much like every team in the league outside Win and Was so far.

They have absolutely not "smoked" a lot of good teams. Go look at their game log this season. What they have done is smoked a lot of really bad teams.

The leafs have the easiest schedule in the league to finish the season.

The leafs have the easiest schedule in the league to finish the season.

So they should load manage the top players on return.

Play better when short staffed.

I would definitely be giving guys like Tanev, OEL and Tavares days off the rest of the way.

They play their worst hockey when that is the case

Tampa is creeping up, only 2 points back of Toronto

Tampa is the only team Im confident we can both

1) Beat in a seven game series

2) all of the core 4 pile points

They get destroyed by the leafs and have for 3+ years now. We need tamoa R1 so dont care if we come 2nd or 3rd but thats our best shot at R2 play

Nah, the results don't actually support that. I get the narrative about the Leafs losing to bad teams, but it's not correct. They beat crappy teams because it requires maybe 8 minutes of work on their part to do it. I wish they had a more difficult schedule to finish the season.

Yes, they are Top 3rd. of the league, in 9th. position points percentage.

So they win around 62% of their games.

Does that factor in travel though?

Lots of road trips including two out west.

That's a good question.

I suppose because Ana and SJ are pretty bad it does. But I am not sure

 

[Jojalu]

Interesting. I had forgotten Det was hanging around that long last year

Marner with the OT winner for Canada

 

[Jojalu]

Leafs are right where you would expect them to be it seems

 

[Jojalu]

XGA% I find does not tell the whole story but I find it interesting that 30% of this list are either Leafs or ex Leafs
