apparently they think their team wouldn't have done worse if they had more injuries
kind of like how Winnipeg was just bad and injuries had nothing to do with it
Winnipeg were perennial underachievers. Injuries were part of the reason. But when your goaltending is absolute shit sometimes it's a blessing when the goalie goes down.

Because Harold Ballard and The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan were evil and greedy beancounters that cared more about profits than they did about icing a great team.
And I was the most local in stating getting the least amount of points from the shootout was proof "Everything Went Perfect" was a nonsensical argument.
I said the chances of them being last again was very small. Therefore, they could get more injuries and still be better.
I was 100% right.

everything has gone perfect for the jets this year though.
The kids don't know about Ballard. Worst owner in NHl history.
they were a big part of the reason.
so you don't think more injuries would have effects the leafs last season? they were as good as they are this year?
right. like scheifele missing 6 weeks
trouba having an ankle injury and then having concussion symptoms near the end of the season
mp was injured as well during the beginning of the season
enstrom's always getting injured. same with kulikov.
laine got injured(but keep playing anyways)
although mason ended up being the back up. that guy was always injured too. Hutchison got injured a few times.
I'm sure there are a few injuries I'm missing
PERFECT for the jets
you don't know the jets. stop talking about them like you do

I always laugh when Hawks fans bring up Bill Wirtz as the worst owner of all time. They have no f***ing idea...
Wirtz is not even close. Ballard was a criminal and a horrific human being.

A more accurate assessment of points per game is....points per minutes played. A quick comparison with other top point producers in the league says a lot about the balanced scoring on the Leafs. Reasonably sure that Marner would have many more points if he played another 4 or 5 minutes a game!

As a Leaf fan, I find my fanbase fairly annoying...but it's almost worth enduring them for how over the top salty they make people (often the same people) consistently.
Did you watch the leafs last season? We were kings at blowing leads. If the Leafs team was even half competent at holding leads last season we probably would've finished with the same amount of points we have this year. Not just barely sneaking in. Yes it's nice to have a healthy team but that kind of goes hand in hand with having a young team and a good coaching/ training staff.
Older teams tend to get hurt more during the grueling season. I know it's a crazy concept.
People easily forget that last season was year #2 in the rebuild and we're in year #3 this year. Our biggest downfall to date is inexperience and having half a team of rookies (last year) and now sophomores (this year) with not the best of vets to insulate the team (JVR/ bozo/ leo).
Do you think though that fans of other teams bring out this behaviour?
it's relevant when leafs fans spit out bs about their team and make a thread on the main boards that other teams have accomplished as well
and then some when a poster calls out fake news about the jets
perhaps you could be talking about this on the leafs boards that's for leafs fans?
It's the same small group of people who get triggered.
The pathetic part is that both the Jets and Bruins have been stellar this year and instead of being happy and celebrating their own successes they're out here patrolling leafs threads. That said I can 100% appreciate the fact that they're dedicate to the cause.
Settle down Trump. The thread is to discuss the Leaf’s achievement. It’s not to talk about the Jets.
