Anyone wonder if we really need Marner?
Amazing game. Dominated those bums
Yet Holl was trash again. Weird

Ondrej Kase has 13 points in his last 14 games

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders

Pretty back and forth affair in the first. We were fortunate to battle out the go ahead marker at the end there on the PP. You have to wonder how different the game could have been if Draisatl hits that wide open net. But then again, if my Aunt had a cock she'd be my Uncle...
Very sloppy 2nd period. You could tell the second Simmonds scored after the Leafs basically didn't touch the puck for the first 11 mins of the period that the game was virtually over.
It was far from perfection. And in all honesty, We didn't play anywhere near as well as the score indicates. But truth be told, even in that first 10 mins of the second, there were not too many high danger looks from Edmonton. They kept EDM on the outside, and maybe gave up 2 quality looks. What was disappointing was the turnovers in our own end and in neutral ice with a long change. It just cannot happen when you are protecting the lead.
I think that 3rd period was pretty well as good as you could have asked. Even on the EDM goal, it was just kind of an awkward play that ended up in the back of the cage. But what a response shift by Willy and Mo. That's leading by example. The proverbial nail in the coffin.
Positives:
-Our superstars were superstars yet again (Mo, Matts, Willy)
-Kase is such a great complimentary player
-Soup was locked in
-Kerfoot showing that jump again. Quietly becoming one of the most useful players on the team.
Negatives:
-Holl, My god this guy cannot get out of his own f***ing way right now. He's fighting the puck big time. Clearly not confident. He's a far better player than what he has shown lately, but he cannot be in the lineup playing like this IMO
-Way too many turnovers when we were chasing the game. Need to simplify the game script when the middle of the ice is taken away. Get pucks deep. Disrupt the momentum.
Take the 2 points. Was encouraged by the 3rd period. That's the first full period we've seen them play since California IMO. Hopefully we can ride that into a red hot Vancouver team on Saturday

Missed the game last night how did Muzzin and Lilly play? Big opportunity for Lilly if they give him more than a few games to run with it with Muzzin.
That is not what it says on the NHL site. Perhaps you could update their page for them. Pehaps you should inform the NHL their site is incorrect. LOL!
If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:
- The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won in Overtime or by Shootout (i.e., "Regulation Wins"). This figure is reflected in the RW column.
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won by Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column.
- The greater number of games won by the Club in any manner (i.e, "Total Wins"). This figure is reflected in the W column.
- The greater number of points earned in games against each other among two or more tied clubs. For the purpose of determining standing for two or more Clubs that have not played an even number of games with one or more of the other tied Clubs, the first game played in the city that has the extra game (the "odd game") shall not be included. When more than two Clubs are tied, the percentage of available points earned in games among each other (and not including any "odd games") shall be used to determine standing.
- The greater differential between goals for and against (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the DIFF column.
- The greater number of goals scored (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the GF column.

I think folks are getting a bit ahead of themselves with his contact predictions.
People were convinced Soup was going to get 3+ mil after his debut season and he ended up with less than 2 mil. Kase is playing great but his history will constrain his next deal (a good thing for the Leafs)

Yep.
The secret about that first tie breaker is that being "tied in points" at the end of a full 82gm season also means that you're "tied in points percentage".
So what that first tie breaker is actually telling you is that Pts% is always the only thing that actually matters.
Whenever there's a difference between Points standings and Pts% standings (I.e. whenever teams have played different amount of games) it's the pts% standings that ALWAYS count.
I'm not even trying to be a dick but I forgot McDavid was playing tonight. That back check on Rielly's goal was a disgrace. He just gave up floated around, I 100% put that goal on him. You gotta compete on both ends of the ice. Also my f***ing god William..what an effort on that goal.

McDavid I think had pretty much given up on the game at that point. His face looked broken after that Simmonds goal. Playing the Leafs always seems to get under his skin
I’ll take the win but man they have to tighten up.
14 giveaways. They have to fix that or they’ll pay in the playoffs. Lots of time to fix it. Hope they do
oh and Edmonton had 20.

Well I guess we interpret it differently. If points didn't matter they wouldn't have included the 1st line. They would have just stated highest points percentage wins.

Oh hey look at that.
Let's look closer....
Hyman 26gms 11gls 19pts
Bunting 30gms 7gls 19pts
Kase 27gms 8gls 15pts
Hall 25gms 5gls 14pts
Ritchie 29gms 1gls 8pts
Foligno 17gms 0gms 4pts

Higher points wins only in one very specific circumstance - when teams have played the exact same amount of games. But in that case, the team with the higher points% also wins anyways.
Highest points percentage always wins.
My argument is if for whatever reason the teams do not play the same number of games the team with the most points wins. That seems pretty clear. If both teams end up with 100 points but one team played one less game then that team wins on point percentage.
Edit to ADD: If the season had to end today, We win the presidents trophy, not Carolina which has the best points percentage. That is why the league lists us as in 1st place currently.

you don’t replace Marner. The cap is going up slightly and they get $1+ million in the Kessel buyout to use next season. That helps slightly
they are building a great program with internal competition

Toronto
The traffic in front of the net Toronto has generated is so invaluable. Greasy goals a plenty. They'll say they're fluky but they don't go in if they aren't giving them that headache.
Campbell looked stellar.
It was concerning the breakdown in coverage a few times infront of the net and not just against McDrai.
Edmonton
The defense is just so poor, I said it before the season that you can't be successful with Bouchard-Ceci-Barrie as your right side.
Koskinen was himself. He'll make some great saves he has no business making but he'll let some in he has no business letting in.
This was an indictment of Edmontons offseason and a proof positive of Keefes system offensively.

Kessel's money + $1m rise in cap + will go to Rielly. Assuming they don't sh1t the bed in the playoffs and dump a core player, they will need to find money for Campbell and Kase. Not sure about 37 and 38. The good thing is that this summer Dubas will be building upon this team instead of having to find replacements as was the case the past two summers.
Team would improve da most if we had a solid #2 defensive dman, a vet dman backup and a better 3C for Marner's AAV .. we would have a much better chance at playoff success .. team already has enough offense .. in playoffs when game gets faster and time and space on ice is much reduced and refs put whistle away then teams that win rely on tending and defense to win Cups .. but fans will see this story unfold again this year for 6th time in 6 years .. we don't hold a candle to Tampa in those 2 areas .. only hope is Soup tales team on his back and carries it to victory but again based on last years game 7 goal against I can't see it

Factor in cost per point and one team runs away with value (hint: It's not Edmonton or Boston)

Wouldn't it be fitting to LTIR Marner, acquire those missing pieces and bring back Marner for game 1 of the playoffs ?? Seriously, we need a couple of upgrades if we want to take out one or both of Florida teams or we have to hope Florida and Tampa meet in round 1 and kick the snot out of each other, leaving the Leafs to wipe the floor with the winner.
