That’s normal though and I don’t see a problem with that. Esp since the business side of the Leafs is very easy and doesn’t need as much attention as says the Jays or Raptors.
I think that had more to do with medias and fans interpretation than anything else.
Ofcourse, l meant more in general-like saying ‘we got a great stats department who gave us unique insight… ‘
Yet, you absolutely despised/despise the fans that saw the same thing as Keefe saw. That's proper weird.
Worst part is how unable they are to actually take accountability. In EP1 when matthews complains to the media that they played too safe and that’s why they struggled to score or create, and that really pissed off Keefe. Keefe said it was because they had 4-5 guys above the puck all game long and our players didn’t want to work for it, but you could tell the players didn’t agree with him, even if the video evidence of it exists. Seems to be a real disconnect between Keefe and the core players, more of a relationship out of necessity as opposed to wanting to go through a wall for him. Just seems like you can keep switching out the secondary players and depth options but if our top guys don’t change their approach and learn to get dirty, things won’t change.
I love the little 1 on 1 meetings between Keefe and Dubas when they just bounce things off of each other, it was cool listening to them in episode 1 talk about the lack of scoring and how concerned they were about it, because talking to fans all youd hear is oh you’re an idiot, Matthews is a 50 goal scorer, Nylander is going to score 70 plus points, Marner close to 100, yet we still couldn’t score 5 on 5. Can’t see Kerfoot lasting the year here.
Haha they didn’t even mention advanced stats once in episode 1, fact is it has little bearing on coaches decisions or how teams perceive players. It’s a way for people who don’t know how to discuss hockey or players to try and trump and argument.
Honestly, it’s the house leaguers and people who never learned how to skate until 25 like Jeff Veillette and Editor in Leaf who are the ones who try and act as if they know how to manage and run an NHL team. It’s rarely the players who actually played quality hockey. Most of “leafs Twitter” are girls and guys who’ve never picked up a stick before, but have the loudest voices
I love how Keefe is driven absolutely crazy by the teams inability to hold and close out a lead, it’s something that is meme worthy for this leafs team. Without getting into the stats there’s just no way other playoff teams blow away many 2-3 goal leads as the leafs do.
How stupid are you. My comment was easy to comprehend. If you watched episode 1, you’d notice outside of Dubas mentioning 5 on 5 goals and how lacklustre the group was there; they never mentioned analytics when making decisions. It’s a way for yourself, Dom and other leafs Twitter accounts and other analytic accounts to act like you know the game, and to try and end arguments by posting a players chart, because you’re completely unable to actually talk about what you see on the ice.
