They're waaayy down at the bottom with the Oilers!!! It's like they picked up Duchene and the wheels fell off. He's got 2 points in 11 games so that has to be a major disappointment and Mark Stone is basically carrying the team right now. Hoffman is putting up points but he's a -10...not a good stat when you're the second highest points-getter on your team. I don't know why the top brass in Ottawa just doesn't join OFC! It's free and we did tell them they sucked! Shoulda listened!!! lol
LostAnotherOne Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 I was just checking out the nhls all time scoring leaders and was wondering if maybe Ovie can reach Gretzky. I know its far fetched but if he can play equal or more games then say Ron Francis he may have a shot.

At most hes got another 13 seasons to score almost 300...and theres no way hes keeping pace once hes 40-43 especially in the NHL now where its so stupid fast. Gretzky's records will go untouched forever...although seriously, i personally believe ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer of all time and its not even close. When you look at the records, its all names from a really long time ago, and then theres just alex ovechkin right in the middle of it...if he played in the 80's good god hed have 2000 goals.
manitoubass2 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 Lol nobody is touching Gretzky's records He scored 92 goals in a season for frig sakes
LostAnotherOne Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 I put the numbers together and ya your right he ain't beating it. If he plays for another 10 years and averages over those years 20 a season he will be around 800. Hitting another 100 after 40 ain't happening. Even if he stays healty. Too bad thou. Still want him to lift up a cup. I picture in my head crosby handing the cup over to ovie like sakic and bourque did a few years back lol.
grimsbylander Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 It's a very different game - apples to oranges. Nobody's touching the Gretzky. I don't think in today's day and age Semenko would get past the Wheat Kings! lol
manitoubass2 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Posted December 6, 2017 It would be awesome to see someone put up 215 to again, it 92 goals in a season It's just not gonna happen
chris.brock Posted December 7, 2017 Report Posted December 7, 2017 How many times can Tkachuk accidentally crash the goalie before the refs realize it's not an accident.
grimsbylander Posted December 7, 2017 Report Posted December 7, 2017 Well that was an interesting game. I can't say I believe the Leafs earned the 2 points but we'll take it! lol

Someone will get him. Another great game of goaltending and a lucky 2 points for the Leafs. Better than a loss, I say.

If this was the 80's he woulda swallowed a few teeth and been outta the game after the first run. Rielly gave him a good cross check, except he then got a penalty and its probably being reviewed for the old shanaban. Watch Rielly might get a game for that one as warranted as it was.

His captain and coach should be giving him crap for the stupid stuff he does. If he gets suspended again this will be the third time since last year. There's a difference between playing on the edge and being a dirty player. Right now he's just a dirty player.

His father played with an edge also. Tough to change those behaviours so suspensions are the way to go. That incident (spear) wasn't that bad last night, but you can't let him get away with it or next time he might hurt someone. He could have easily caught Martin in the gonads.
grimsbylander Posted December 7, 2017 Report Posted December 7, 2017 Tkachuk was suspended one game for the spear on Martin. If it weren't for the fact he was classified as a repeat offender, it probably would have been a fine. They just need to keep increasing the length of his suspensions until they knock the stupid out of him or knock him out of the league.

RIGHT MATT LOL Unlike Matt, I feel it's getting hard to kick that (near) dead horse. Ottawa has fallen over the proverbial cliff and I'm a little surprised by it. I know they're not a great team, far, far from it but they're found a way to lose games I didn't think they should. It never fails though, someone goes off about how great their team is and POW, they suck an egg. We go on and talk about how the Leafs should have lost last night and they win another lol. Ottawa now has the same point total Toronto had in the middle of November. They've played less games but 3 weeks behind is brutal. What the ticket sales been like I wonder? It was bad in October after a playoff run...every night must be family and friends night now! I see a Senators team in Seattle's future!!!
manitoubass2 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Posted December 8, 2017 Yep I agree Ottawa might just end up in seattle
chris.brock Posted December 8, 2017 Report Posted December 8, 2017 There's a lot of parity in the diluted NHL. There's a fine line between winning and losing. A team just needs a ticket to the playoffs and anything can happen, like Ottawa's run last season. There's lots of ups and downs and over reactions.. HNIC showed a Montreal newspaper, big half page headline, the translation was - IT'S TIME FOR A REBUILD. Then Price came back and they won 5 in a row. It's comical, what a darn soap opera. The headline before the St Lou game was probably STANLEY CUP BOUND. I think the Leafs are over achieving though, last night was a great example, terrible play but got 2 points.

I posted the same sentiment a couple weeks ago. Not everyone agrees. A hot goalie doesn't constitute a Stanley Cup team.

Down the road, I hope the Leafs can play tighter defensively and reduce the shots on Freddie because I can see the wheels falling off.
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Posted December 8, 2017 Yup, they still need a few more pieces if they expect to go deep into the playoffs.
