Liljegren he has been a revelation, I love him and am happy that the arrogant spreadsheet geek Dubas did not trade him for some beefy winger at a deadline

The best part of this is that this team is not riding an unsustainable hot streak of any player or group of players. A very, very solid D corps, and the most depth at forward of any team since Tampa or Pittsburgh won. And we know Campbell is the real deal. Leafs lead the league in ROW. Suck it, haters.

The Leafs are actually underperforming their metrics

Maybe some people should start to consider that maybe the right way to build a team is committing most of the cap to an elite core while using your hockey smarts to find cheap replaceable depth - NOT trading away elite talent in order to spend significant caphit on replaceable depth.

I'm not sure I would agree with that. I think they are performing right along with their underlying metrics.

It's just that there are a handful of other teams that have overperformed and won a bit more than they should based on their underlying performance that are a bit ahead of us in the standings still.

Yeah, I was more thinking alone the lines of the discrepancy between xGF and GF when typing that, although the regression is happening hard right now....much closer than a week ago where saying they were underperforming their metrics somewhat might have fit better.

at the same time we have to expect the save percentage to regress too though.

The team has been playing unbelievable hockey as of late. Gotta give props where props is due.

Now that we have a added some toughness throughout our line up, two players I’d love for Dubas to target prior to the trade deadline are Damon Severson and Denis Gurianov.

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Kerfoot - Tavares - Nylander
Gurianov - Kampf - Kase
Ritchie - Spezza - Simmonds

Rielly - Brodie
Sandin - Severson
Muzzin - Liljegren

Campbell - Mrazek

To a degree, sure. The diff between xGA and GA has been rather minimal recently, although they have been getting leakier at shot and high danger suppression.

Some hilarious posts in here, but I think the funniest one (and I'm not sure if it was in this thread) was the guy who claimed he was more qualified to be a GM than Dubas :laugh:

Really hope we can go one playoff round without one or two core players being taken out due to BS suspensions or freak injuries. Would be nice to see what a Dubas team could do at expected strength instead of always being dealt a handicap early and often in every playoff series. Don’t think Boston, Columbus, or Montreal do nearly as well if they lose Krejci or Werenski or Danault & Petry in the playoffs.

Goals above expectation are still way below what one would expect and part of that is shooting percentage.
