Leafs have 10 players with 40pts or more

[shaner8989]

Incredible depth. Very impressive

Yet still likely the youngest core in the league

This team will compete and be very good for along time

 

[nobody]

apparently they think their team wouldn't have done worse if they had more injuries

kind of like how Winnipeg was just bad and injuries had nothing to do with it

Winnipeg were perennial underachievers. Injuries were part of the reason. But when your goaltending is absolute shit sometimes it's a blessing when the goalie goes down.

 

[Pocket Hercules]

How the hell in Toronto's long history with so many Cups are 105 points and whatever wins their club record - thats very low compared what most of other teams best regular season numbers are and those 105 points are inflated with SO wins (I know other team profited from that too).

Because Harold Ballard and The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan were evil and greedy beancounters that cared more about profits than they did about icing a great team.

 

[LeafFever]

A fair number of people last year tried to discredit the Leafs making the playoffs by insisting everything went perfect for them. That was the argument we often saw when people said they would miss them this year.

And I was the most local in stating getting the least amount of points from the shootout was proof "Everything Went Perfect" was a nonsensical argument.
I said the chances of them being last again was very small. Therefore, they could get more injuries and still be better.
I was 100% right.

everything has gone perfect for the jets this year though.

The kids don't know about Ballard. Worst owner in NHl history.

they were a big part of the reason.

so you don't think more injuries would have effects the leafs last season? they were as good as they are this year?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

This isn’t a thread about Winnipeg.

 

[Peggy]

right. like scheifele missing 6 weeks

trouba having an ankle injury and then having concussion symptoms near the end of the season

mp was injured as well during the beginning of the season

enstrom's always getting injured. same with kulikov.

laine got injured(but keep playing anyways)

although mason ended up being the back up. that guy was always injured too. Hutchison got injured a few times.

I'm sure there are a few injuries I'm missing

PERFECT for the jets

you don't know the jets. stop talking about them like you do

 

[Quiet Jack]

Impressive. To my surprise the Sabres have 6 which is 3 more than I would have figured.

And man certain posters will argue about anything.

I always laugh when Hawks fans bring up Bill Wirtz as the worst owner of all time. They have no f***ing idea...

this is a thread about butthurt.

Wirtz is not even close. Ballard was a criminal and a horrific human being.

Perhaps you can find a thread to talk about the Jets that’s about the Jets?

 

[hector morrison]

A more accurate assessment of points per game is....points per minutes played. A quick comparison with other top point producers in the league says a lot about the balanced scoring on the Leafs. Reasonably sure that Marner would have many more points if he played another 4 or 5 minutes a game!

 

[Coaches Coroner]

As a Leaf fan, I find my fanbase fairly annoying...but it's almost worth enduring them for how over the top salty they make people (often the same people) consistently.

 

[nobody]

they were a big part of the reason.

Did you watch the leafs last season? We were kings at blowing leads. If the Leafs team was even half competent at holding leads last season we probably would've finished with the same amount of points we have this year. Not just barely sneaking in. Yes it's nice to have a healthy team but that kind of goes hand in hand with having a young team and a good coaching/ training staff.

Older teams tend to get hurt more during the grueling season. I know it's a crazy concept.

People easily forget that last season was year #2 in the rebuild and we're in year #3 this year. Our biggest downfall to date is inexperience and having half a team of rookies (last year) and now sophomores (this year) with not the best of vets to insulate the team (JVR/ bozo/ leo).

Do you think though that fans of other teams bring out this behaviour?

 

[Peggy]

Perhaps you can find a thread to talk about the Jets that’s about the Jets?

it's relevant when leafs fans spit out bs about their team and make a thread on the main boards that other teams have accomplished as well

and then some when a poster calls out fake news about the jets

perhaps you could be talking about this on the leafs boards that's for leafs fans?

It's the same small group of people who get triggered.

The pathetic part is that both the Jets and Bruins have been stellar this year and instead of being happy and celebrating their own successes they're out here patrolling leafs threads. That said I can 100% appreciate the fact that they're dedicate to the cause.

Settle down Trump. The thread is to discuss the Leaf’s achievement. It’s not to talk about the Jets.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Exactly.

If the Queen had nuts she'd be King.

Solid argument though.

so you just like arguing for the sake of arguing or are you gonna acknowledge the question?

do you think injuries woudlve effected the leafs standings last year?

 

[BruinLVGA]

... in relation to what everyone else achieved... Otherwise, OP wouldn't have mentioned that the nearest one had only 7...

 

[Rebels57]

Their depth is impressive but I wouldn't put much stock into the "Ten 40 point players" accomplishment.
