Leafs have 10 players with 40pts or more

[BruinLVGA]

We don’t know if any other team would’ve had 10. Because it didn’t happen.

Do you think Matthews would have had 40+ goals, had he not been injured?

100%.

 

[LeafFever]

Just like the "Leafs only got in the playoffs last year because they were healthy" arguments.

Always some kind of excuse with you people- rather than acknowledging that yes, they were the best team in the league in terms of scoring depth- you have to put that achievement down and chalk it up to other teams' inability to stay healthy.

The excuses are getting sad. That's why I bumped up my thread yesterday about their health being overhyped.

I've never seen somebody continuously agree with everyone else's point, but still insist they are right.

matthews was on pace for 45gls so he's officially a 45gl scorer now.

 

[The Assclown]

My point is that one can't say that they're much better than anyone else, if the others all missed a ton of men games.

If that's your point, then I don't think it's worth discussing this with you anymore. That has to be some of the most asinine logic I have ever seen on these boards and I have been here since 2001.

"You people"?

Tally up production in regards to men games and let's see how they stack up. Last time I did that, the Leafs weren't even top 5.

45 or so.

but he didn't.

 

[Raging Bull]

It's simple mathematics doctor. The number 10 holds greater value than the number 8. Next lesson, simple shapes.

 

[BruinLVGA]

So then you agree that the Leafs are unique in being the only team to accomplish this, great! Moving on from the Bruins now please

I agree that the Leafs are the team - among the top 6-7 teams - who had the least injuries and all their stats were helped greatly by that.

 

[LeafFever]

How are people going to handle it when the Leafs are even better next year? I worry about people on here.

 

[Tripod]

Nothing wrong with giving them credit. That's great depth!

And why is staying healthy, a bad thing?

 

[BruinLVGA]

You didn't answer my question.

 

[BayStreetBully]

Guys, gals, you’re too positive. Consider others’ feelings and tone it down a notch.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Leafs wouldn't be the only team with 10 40 point scorers if other teams also had 10 40 point scorers, this is correct.

I don't know if I have ever said this but / thread.

So, according to you, personal points production is not affected by how many games players play. That is what you describe as "asinine".

 

[The Assclown]

Nothing wrong with giving them credit. That's great depth!

But the important question is- how do we include the Bruins in this discussion?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Only because other teams have had lots of injuries, otherwise they wouldn't have been the only team. Which was my - and other posters' - original statement.

You do realize that injuries have also helped players on your team get more points right? When a player moves up the lineup they also can pick up more points then they would had they stayed in their current role.

HF: "Without JVR and Bozak they are a 2 line team with the same terrible defense"

Proceeds to finish another 100+ season at season's end.

HF "Who cares look at the Bruins!"

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

So you have no opinion on whether the Leafs will sweep the Bruins, if they meet in the first round? How about if they meet Tampa?

There's a 17% chance.

LOL. THIS is why his "arguments" are meaningless.

Of course. And that is the point I was telling people in the AhoVs Marner thread who said Aho is better with more TOI and worse stats because his team is worse. Wait what?
If your team is bad or has injuries, everyone can get bumped up and achieve more points than on a team you have to fight ice-time for.

 

[Paris in Flames]

So. In this thread we have people claiming the Leafs had no injuries while also saying nobody hit 70 points even though Matthews was over a PPG but must have skipped 20 games for fun.

Never stop HF.

It's beyond ridiculous. And yet people will claim no one is biased against the Leafs.

Yeah, that's true.
