Karlson, Chara, Hossa, Spezza, just off the top of my head, I probably missed a couple
AKRISONER Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 matthews may have the best shot in the NHL right now. He doesnt miss. Ovi and Laine come to mind, but i dont know if anyone shoots as accurately as AM
chris.brock Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 Dallas had 1 goal against in their 1st 2 games of the season, the Leafs bury 5 in 2 periods, lol.
Acountdeleted Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 holy smokes. A week ago my co-worker bet me the leafs would score over 300 goals this season. I laughed and said ‘sure’........ i’m Starting to get nervous about this bet.
RickOnt Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 The Leafs strategy!! "Offense is the best Defense"
Jds63 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) They said on TSN that statistically October is a high goal scoring month, then teams go over videos in practices and begin to tighten up defensivly. I am sure the Leafs goal scoring opportunities will continue , i just hope they continue to score more than they let in ... LOL Edited October 10, 2018 by Jds63

I know someone else that thinks you can predict an 82 game season from a 3 games snapshot! All the Leafs stuff is true though!! hahahaha
chris.brock Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) In a totally different era, in the late 70's, Lafleur, Shutt, Lemaire, Houle etc had a magical year and posted a league record 31.9 % success rate on the power play. If Babcock is at least somewhat smart and keeps the Leafs #1 PP unit, Kadri, AM, JT, Riley and the quarterback Marner together, I honestly think the Leafs have a shot at this record.

His bargaining position is getting weaker with this kind of production, maybe we'd be better off saving the cap space ?
Acountdeleted Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 I used to like Nylander. Now let’s shop him for a D man. @chris, the numbers they are putting up are video game like. If Matthews keeps this type of production up, they may change the name of the city to Auston, Ontario.
Jds63 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 I know McDavid has only played 2 games ... and I know it doesn't mean much in a 82 game season but on NHL.com the stats read like this , this morning .... you gotta admit i don't think anyone of us have ever seen this before ... go ahead Leaf haters ... discuss ....
LostAnotherOne Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 Glad that Babs is keeping Gardiner off of PP1. Keep him on PP2 where he belongs lol.

DRIFTER_016 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Posted October 14, 2018 Gritty win against the Champs tonight.
glen Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 What a game. Spot them a goal then stone wall stand on his head Anderson shuts the net down. Clear the zone well and give the puck to strong as an ox Mathews. Leafs side to side movement can’t be Stopped. It’s all on babs where they go from here.

I thought it was pretty even, maybe slight edge to the Leafs, but yeah, that's good against the champs Freddie found his game in Detroit and it continued. Lindholm is a keeper. chalk it up, 2 more points baby! Edited October 14, 2018 by chris.brock
grimsbylander Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 Nice to see Freddie getting his swagger back. He's never been Mr. October so he's actually ahead of schedule despite a shaky start. Matthews is a giant...again. The guy is not human lol. 10 goals already and for perspective, Crosby is waiting for his first. Tonight was a really good benchmark for the Leaf team. Great effort I thought. Funny stat in the Ottawa game tonight....Ceci was out so Ottawa's highest paid defenseman on the ice was.... Phanuef!! LOL They're retaining $1.7M so they're paying more for him than their next highest paid Dman. Crazy how that works...and they won! We always said Phaneuf was better at the other end of the ice! hahaha
chris.brock Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Stars, Caps, Kings, they're all good teams, the end result, 2 points Leafs each game ? Edited October 16, 2018 by chris.brock
