Flordia's play is definitely unsustainable but they are playing incredible hockey at the moment

They have the deepest offense in the league, with strong defense and now getting incredible goal tending.

People here were saying the Panthers would stink and that Forsling/Marchment/Bennett/Duclair etc would fall off.

Panthers look primed for a deep playoffs this year

lines are moving against me tho so i'll chalk that up as a double L

I took Napoli at 1.20 in Calcio. LA Liga is for amateurs.

Interestingly, after 11 games the Leafs based on points% would be 4th in the Atlantic behind Florida, TB and Boston and 16th overall battling for a wild card spot into the playoffs which ironically is where some Leaf fans had the Leafs projected to be finishing this year.

After the first 10-11 games, the Leafs' play meeting those seasonal exceptions at this point in time. Lets see how the next 10 game segment compares.

Leafs keep trending upwards. If this keeps up they could be top in the Atlantic very soon.

It's pretty amazing how the West teams are really bad this year.

Results are almost matching the underlying numbers now.

If they had pulled out wins in the Sharks and Rangers games (which they were the better team in both) it would sync up pretty perfectly.

If they keep playing the way they have, they will win a couple to make up for that anyways, especially if Campbell keeps his strong play up.

So we now have 6 defense pairs with still small but potentially useful samples. Each has played at least 70 minutes 5v5 (no other pair has played more than 23).

Here's how they've done:

1. Both top pairs have looked much better with Brodie, unsurprisingly. Rielly-Brodie wasn't great but still decent to good.

2. Rielly-Dermott seems to be a clear failure unfortunately. Muzz-Holl not good but probably not as disastrous as the goals for/against suggests.

3. The bottom pairs have been dominant.


So I think bringing Holl back is the clear right move. The hope is he can get back to form and get that muzz-holl pair back to where it's been before this year.

If Holl continues to struggle, though, I'd say the next step would be to give Lilly a shot in the top 4 - and he might be a fit on either of those pairings, and I'm not sure which one works best. I can see an argument for both.

Will read this after MLSE fires Dubas. And his fake glasses too.
