Elite teams find a way. Our injuries have also been spread out, nothing extraordinary.
I hate using the injury excuse but at some point when a team has had as many of them as we've had this season, I think it's valid and it doesn't make sense to say they haven't been a factor. Saying injuries don't matter is like saying who's on our roster doesn't matter and that sounds kind of dumb doesn't it?
This weekend we were missing our #1 goalie, our #1 Dman, an elite forward and a couple of other pieces. I think that qualifies as extraordinary.
I was being a bit over the top with my comments.
I've seen tons of posters here throw out the Games in hand argument, which is valid.
However, it seems when Leafs have games in hand those posters consider them to be losses, when other teams have games in hand they are considered wins.
Haha that's pretty dumb for sure. Too many people have an agenda and don't even try to be objective. The teams on the bubble are tightly packed so it's almost pointless saying who's in and who's out when it changes on a daily basis but I guess it's just human nature.
