Toronto wins this.
If the Oilers had the better defense corp, then they wouldn't be the 2nd worst team in the Western Conference.

Toronto easily. Oilers best defenseman would be #4/5 on the Leafs. Oilers have one of the worst d corps in the league.

If Rielly keeps trending this way then this is the Leafs. But Sekera adds good depth on the Oilers so this is close.

So in the Nylander vs Larkin and Schwartz threads both these players are killing Nylander this year but Leafs fans are dismissing it by saying its a hot streak yet Rielly has a good 5-6 games (where hes been hot garbage defensively before that) and Leafs fans are suddenly flooding the main boards. You cant make this stuff up

This post is flawed and you're just voting against any leaf. Leafs's D core has been better this year but you vote Edmonton saying Rielly is on a hot streak. Then you go and vote Larkin against Nylander because he's had better stats this year. Extremely hypocritical, and you're just looking for an agenda either way to vote against the leafs.

Almost like you can't make up the whole "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" narrative that both Flames and Oilers fan have against Leafs players on these boards for some inexplicable reason. Pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me. Whatever makes you sleep at night I suppose...

Hainsey isn't anywhere near Sekera lol. Otherwise I'd agree with you, but Larsson is a bit more than just barely better than Zaitsev.

Ehh the Hainsey we have seen so far this year has been pretty god damn good. I mean he basically lives on the PK and has been a big reason for the big improvement in Rielly.

last year toronto, this year leafs.
Rielly has taken a giant leap in his own end, and also has 17pts.
Klefbom hasn't played well judging by the oilers board.
both teams giving up 3.15/game, the difference though is the leafs are actually getting production from their back end
and are scoring 3.60/game..while the oielrs are pretty much mcdavid and drai and no help from the back end (2.50.gm)
Kris Russell absolutely cannot be leading dmen in scoring with 6pts/19 games.

you need to watch a few leafs games. Hainsey has been a solid top 4 dman for us that is playing 90% of our PK mins
He has helped Rielly to what will easily be his best season. 17pts/20 games. thats 3rd among dmen

Eh I'd say Toronto has better goaltending. Talbot and Andersen's stats are very comparable every season minus Talbot's New York Rangers seasons. (And it wasn't all NYR defense, in 2013-2014 Talbot had sheltered starts yes, but in 2014-2015 Talbot was carrying the team to a degree especially considering the fact that whenever Tlabot started NYR allowed far less chances and generated far more chances because Talbot is a great rebound controller, puck freezer, puck mover, etc. And Lundqvist isn't).

Ya of course. Its only November. Remember the year after the Boston collapse you guys started really good and started collapsing in the new year? Maybe if it was February or March id be scared but nah i still expect the collapse.
