Didn't the Devils trade for a goalie?Sorry to pick on you here, Papa, but I don't really understand why Leaf fans are surprised that Keefe knows how to do a defensive system. That was the most obvious change when he took over from shit brains.. Err, Babcock. The defensive game of the team changed dramatically for the better.
He has his flaws, for sure, and moving on was the right choice, but he has some positives too.
Their goaltending has been better than last year, but nothing spectacular. They're currently 11th in the league in goaltending.Didn't the Devils trade for a goalie? Wasn't that their biggest issue last year.
Yes and they were missing a couple of key players most of the year and the young team couldn’t overcome adversity. They were good the previous year.Didn't the Devils trade for a goalie?
Wasn't that their biggest issue last year. Everyone was touting them as the next best thing before the season started, but they had no one between the pipes.
26th. in GA per game to 5th..
A goaltender doesn't just stop goals, he gives confidence, and give the team permission to score.
12th. goals per game to 7th.
3 NY state teams combined to score 1 goal last night while allowing 12.
All 3 are in a freefall and really have no way out. Except the Rangers. Shesterkin can get red hot and steal some games
The Leafs will separate from Florida by the end of this month/early January because of how soft the leafs' schedule is. Then it will be a question of whether they can hold that lead the rest of the season. It will also be interesting to see how the wild card positions develop.doesn't look like minnesota is going to do us any favors tonight
can't get the stupid panthers off our asses
Pionk gives the game away with 30 seconds left. You love to see it
Different team without ehlersThe Winnipeg fall off needs to be studied
From 14-1 to 23-10-1
They’ve been playing .500 hockey for a while
Different team without ehlers
Interesting since you had already said Florida doesn't care anout the regular season and they promptly have gone 8-2-1. Whay happened to the Leafs double diget division win?The Leafs will separate from Florida by the end of this month/early January because of how soft the leafs' schedule is.

I continue to believe that both of these points are correct. Let the season play out. I think Florida will drop off.Interesting since you had already said Florida doesn't care anout the regular season and they promptly have gone 8-2-1. Whay happened to the Leafs double diget division win?
I do believe you are correct about the Leafs having a shot this year to win the division, and possibly the East, but it is going to be a fight.
Especially if they continue to have injury issues.
In other news, Murray with a shutout last night. Wonder if he makes his way up for Sat nights game
I just don't see it. Unless the injury bug hits them.I continue to believe that both of these points are correct. Let the season play out. I think Florida will drop off.
