Leafs record in the next 5 games?

[wingman75]

I believe everyone is underestimating the goaltending impact, and Jack Campbell specifically, had on the 15-3 run. If we need that kind of goaltending again to get out of this funk, that is a big ask... not that Samsonov can't, just not sure it is a realistic expectation.

We know the history of this team - they don't get up for the crap teams, but show up for the better teams.

Tough stretch against good teams coming up? Fully expect this to tturn around, at least in the short term. Think we get their best performance of the season on Wednesday against Philly, they'll feel good about themselves with a few days off heading into the Boston game, poo themselves, and then reel off a few wins against other good teams.

You guys are silly to not think they are going to turn this around. They have all the skill in the world. The issue with them is mindset. They play well against good teams. We know this. They play terribly against bad teams.

I'm going with 4-1.

This doesn't fix their issues, but we know when this teams goes on a roll, well... they go pickup momentum fast.

Yep. Feel exactly the same way.

Hopefully, but if not something needs to be done.

3-1-1

 

[Lenovs]

2-3

barely enough to keep body and soul together

 

[AvroArrow]

For some reason if I click on a poll option it just redirects me to fiver.com , weird anyone else having this issue ?

 

[Guided by Veseys]

18 wheeler comes early this year. 1-4 record.
Those are some good teams and the leafs just don’t have the ability to win decisively this year..
I think they will get smoked by Boston on Saturday but the rest of the games will be close.

Well just like that they proved me wrong. That was a solid team effort last night. Mmm tasty crow.

 

[Maple Leaf]

5-0

Doomers in shambles

Campbell was excellent in November, but we didn't really need amazing goaltending to post wins. Post-November last year, while getting 0.888 goaltending behind the 3rd best defensive results in the league, the Leafs maintained a 114 point pace.

The Leafs are back on track, let's hope the goalie situation doesn't take us back down, but even when Campbell was playing horrible last year, the Leafs were still able to outscore that issue but we haven't seen that offense yet this year (other than the Philly game).

But all in all, the Leafs record so far this year is equal to or better than that of the Lightning, Avs, Panthers and Flames. Some cellar dwellars (Buffalo, New Jersey) might be having a hot start but then that happened last year also, then reality set in and everything went back to normal. Remember back when the pre-Matthews Leafs also had hot starts until the 18-wheeler came around.

This poll is aging well

 

[darrylsittler27]

We will lose every game Kallgren plays.

 

[Gary Nylund]

We will lose every game Kallgren plays.

Guaranteed.

 

[cyris]

We will lose every game Kallgren plays.

You sure about that?

 

[al secord]

We will lose every game Kallgren plays.

So close

 

[darrylsittler27]

So close

Lol

 

[LeafChief]

Last year after a 4-5-1 brutal start.

The Leafs caught fire thanks to Jack Campbell and Joseph Woll who recorded a 12-2-0 November in 14 games.

Leafs got between .939 SV% to .959 sv% from their goalies to turn around the season.

The way the team is playing in front Leafs goalies this year and as they provided a combined .895 sv% in 10 games in October I am not expecting history to repeat itself this year.

It took 7 days for this to age incredibly poorly. Par for the course.

 

[egd27]

My guess is we turn it around short term and go on a decent run and everyone will absolve management and the coach and the players and we will falsely believe again. THEN we hit one more rough patch and it goes to hell. We have a ton of talent, we will win our share, that really isn’t the point for me anymore.

It's almost like you've been here before.

 

[Fogelhund]

i'm only hoping for 0-5 so Dubas can get fired and his fan club leaves and i can discuss the team with Leaf fans

How is that working out for you so far?

 

[ShaneFalco]

How's your Dubas love-in going ?

 

[DarkKnight]

It's almost like you've been here before.

Lol.

 

[Fogelhund]

How's your Dubas love-in going ?

Sorry, not a Dubas lover, I’m just not a miserable person, who is always mad or complaining about things, or someone who throws tantrums when things don’t go the way I want.
