GDT: Leafs vs Philly 7PM

[Wafflewhipper]

On a related note, this is like the third game in the last four where the opponent announcers talk about how much improved our game looks compared to last time they faced us.

You insinuating we are better. Really we are better for the younger players moving past this year. Nothing else though. I remember getting taunted in the fire Carlyle thread when I maintained that Carlyle was not to blame for the way the players were out competed.

I don't think they are competing hard for Horry either though in retrospect. This team is coach killers. Why the trades haven't started already is really surprising. Horry is hardly to blame for this either though. He is riding these guys hard to play defense and putting them away wet.

K omaro V is warming up

and that he's wearing Orange

[i seriously need the fantasy points he'll get me]

 

[Jack Butler]

It's really amazing the Leafs were the highest scoring team under Carlyle and the lowest scoring team without him.

Is this verifiable fact?

 

[Pi]

Is the Rogers deal in CAD or USD? Does anyone know? That 5.2B makes a huge difference right now if it's in CAD.

Nonis offered Franson $4.6 million per year?

Why does he still have a job again?

 

[leafstilldeath*]

4.6 mil AAV for Franson will not get it done

 

[Snow Dog]

David Clarkson, Joffrey Lupul, Tyler Bozak, Dion Phaneuf, Jake Gardiner.

Wouldn't move Naz before any of these guys. All of them are paid far more, and have frustrated far more times than Kadri has.

Come next season Kadri will be in the same group if he gets paid anything near what he wants.

George is your fav? Interesting! My fav is Brosnan. Craig is different yes...

I need to rewatch Pierce's. It's been a while

But, yeah, I think George, though I think that's also attributed to just enjoying On Her Majesty's Secret Service, too.

Nonis offered Franson $4.6 million per year?

Where did you hear this?

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Why... Why did we offer $4.6m per for Cody

 

[Silent Knight]

Here comes Strombo.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!? Make it stop. This clown is a fool.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Why start reimer... unless you WANT to lose again? Pretty surprised though that this coach horachek wants to lose... AGAIN. I mean who does that. How many games in a season can you even lose? Meaning if you coach like 30 games and lose 25... LOL. What a LOSER.

Nonis offered Franson $4.6 million per year?

Why does he still have a job again?

That means he is going to get 5+ in FA. I feel sorry for them.

 

[Ratboy]

What a boring, terrible game.

Wow.

 

[Pi]

It doesn't matter how many scoring chances you get. It matters what the quality of scoring chances are.

Blaming it on luck is an ignorant statement.

PDO is luck and right now we're not getting any.

When the Leafs were piling the net they had enormously high PDO. IIRC, Leafs were the only team shooting at above 11% at one point.

 

[Duffman955]

What a boring, terrible game.

Wow.

Its called sustainable winning

 

[Erdinger]

Where did you hear this?

Friedman on HNIC just now

International deals are always in USD

NHL(american) - Rogers (Canadian) deal would have been in USD no doubt

 

[Maplebeasts]

4.6 mil AAV for Franson will not get it done

You're right if that's what we offered. After lowballing him a few times, he will want a nice fat payday

 

[King85Kong]

Amazing work rate and defensive awareness. Our goals against has increased since Horachek's take over.

Unless our goalies get a shutout every night, we are not going to win. Amazing defense first system. Sustainable Winning. CORSI, Fenwick

This doesn't apply to the Leaf before or now. We are not good at either of those things.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Are people naive enough to think that Nonis has the only/final say on what contracts they offer?

 

[Pi]

I am not watching the game but I don't want Cody Franson for 4.6M...Thank god he'll get more as a UFA.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Friedman on HNIC just now

Wow. I suppose I missed that then. Apologies

 

[Atomos2]

Who thinks Lupul is injured and wont play the next game?

 

[Daisy Jane]

that's what the NHL should do

 

[Duffman955]

PDO is luck and right now we're not getting any.

When the Leafs were piling the net they had enormously high PDO. IIRC, Leafs were the only team shooting at above 11% at one point.

So you are blaming luck

What a brilliant argument.

We can't score for the last 10 games because we have bad luck.
