I'll respectfully disagree, but hey when the team's winning everything is peaches and cream. Could the Boston game be the turning point in their season? Right now it's looking like maybe.

danc Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Conner Brown. Good read for Leafs fans. Everything is coming up aces for the Toronto Maple Leafs in January. The club has won six straight games to not just climb back into the playoff race but establish a secure foothold. And if the riches weren’t embarrassing enough, the Leafs also have junior hockey’s hottest scorer, Connor Brown. Brown, the 156th selection in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft currently leads the Ontario Hockey League in scoring with 31 goals, 61 assists for 92 points in 45 games this season. He holds a 10-point lead over his closest competitor (teammate Dane Fox) and is on pace to challenge the 140-point mark in the OHL for the first time since Patrick Kane in 2007. Since the OHL season began in October, Brown has gone from being a longshot prospect (ranked 21st by PPP and 18th by TLN in the 2013 offseason) to the club’s brightest draft pick. His play so far this season earned him a three-year entry level contract; and his omission from Canada’s WJC team came as a shocker to anyone who understands that winning teams tend to outscore losing teams. While interning at the Hockey News in the spring of 2012, Brown’s name first came to my attention while working on their draft preview issue. While playing on a comically bad Erie Otters team, Brown racked up one of the worst +/- scores of any player in any league ever with a -72. Indeed, if I recall correctly, he was something of a laughing stock among the staff. Never mind that +/- is a mostly pointless stat; Brown was one of the few good players on a team that literally gave up twice as many goals as they scored (169 GF vs. 338 GA, a hilarious -169 differential). Lost in the negative zone was that Brown led those woeful Otters in scoring in 2012. And repeated that feat in 2013. And seems hell bent to lead the whole league for the three-peat. Heck of an encore after being written off so completely. Despite making headlines for the wrong reasons prior to his draft, the Leafs certainly have had a precise plan in place to see Brown develop into a top six guy in the NHL. In a July 2013 interview, Leafs Player Development head Jim Hughes said this about Brown: He’s an interesting one because his skill sets are so high. He can find the late people, he can find the seam, he can find the backdoor people and he can buy time and space. He’s got really soft hands and a very creative brain. And then you put him with McDavid for another year. I think Connor finished around 80 points in the OHL? So, when you play him with McDavid he should be in the 100-point range. Maybe we keep in junior for an overage year. Maybe he’ll be in the 110-120 point range. We’re not sure. He’s got a high ceiling and we’re going to continue to find out how far he can take this, because he’s a second line player, not a 3 guy or a 4 guy. He’s a 2 guy. And we’ll see what kind of production he can put up this coming season. With Connor we’re looking 24 months down the road. It’s not a quick fix with him. We’re looking to put 6-8 pounds on him this year, maybe another 6-8 pounds on him next year. We’re looking long term and if we allow him that big window of another 24 months we might have something. It’s safe to say that Brown has exceeded everybody’s expectations for him, even if a 100-point season did seem insane (instead of prophetic) at the time. Clearly the biggest goals from the Maple Leafs’ standpoint are to see Brown add to both his point totals and his waistline. But having nearly superseded his projected point totals in his draft +2 year with 23 games remaining, it’s safe to say Brown is ahead of the Leafs’ internal schedule. He’ll almost certainly start with the Marlies for the 2014-15 season, as his offensive pedigree will be a welcome addition to Spott’s roster. But will he be an NHLer? Or is he is merely an exceptional OHLer? I took a quick peak at the last 20 years of OHL leading scorers, their ages, draft status, points and games played:....

danc Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Atleast make the game competitive. And if they don't? They have been travelling on the west coast playing a few hours out of their time zone, and sleeping whenever they can between flights. This is their third game in four nights dealing with this. They've done pretty good IMHO. If you want to cheer for a team that's gonna look great and win every night, then the Leafs are not for you.
