Post-Game Talk: Leafs Slay Kraken 5-1

[Voodoo Child]

Their toughest opponent will be the Oilers.

They’ll muck the Oilers like always, but they’ll probably lose in Vancouver.

Thursday, Friday and Sunday…the f***?!

I don't know what was my favourite. Ignoring that the exchange of those goalies last year would have actually prevented more goals, thinking records transfer with goalies, the point projection in the 80s, or what's probably my actual favourite - messing up the math and not even having the "new goalie" records total 82 games. A classic.

If Samsonov can be consistent with that kind of solid positional play, we'll be alright for the playoffs. That third line was not very good last night. Once again Engvall showed little drive and Kampf has been off for a few weeks. I think they should bring up McMann and see if he can add a little offensive spark to that line.

Do you have a link to that post? That’s one of the most wild predictions I’ve ever heard.

It's like the Easter Bunny, so many believe it and mention it but no one has ever actually seen it.
Not sure if that's weird or convenient.

Nice win.

Good to see Matthews get back on the scoreboard. Hopefully this shakes him out of the funk he’s been in.

Samsonov looks like he’s not giving the net back to Murray without a Hella fight. Good to see.

Team played really well but that was the biggest take away for me.
Goalie played really well.

Um, the games are Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Could you highlight the prediction part?

uh...this?

The downgrade from Campbell & Mrazek to Murray & Samsonov would have resulted in -29 point reduction and non playoff team and just slightly above a .500 hockey team based on 2021-22 results.

When you replace your starting goalie that played in 49 games and contributed 31 wins with a contract dump player that played in only 20 games and recorded 5 wins on the season the impact on your team in the standings would be significant as they results above show.

PS. Matt Murray is going to need MUCH more than +3.2 GSAx (an extra 3 goals saved above expected on the season) to close this 29 point standings drop gap on personnel change.

PS Matt Murray is at 4.8 in this stat this year and the Leafs are a top 5 team.

I just see a bunch of meaningless numbers, guessing this is one of those paraphrasing things people use.
Perhaps my definition of prediction is different than others.

@Mess were you predicting that the Leafs would finish the season with 85 points in that post?

I think it's your definition of paraphrasing, honestly.

The old deflection, nice one.

I just posted by what mess wrote to what people were saying about how he came up with the 88 or 86 pts thingy

That new Acciari guy is pretty good.

I honestly didn't expect him to be much more than a throw in. But he's legit moved the needle in almost every game since he's arrived. I don't think its silly to say he's been a big add.

Leafs closed out last night like champs. On the road, they took the play right to the 6th ranked team in the West over the last 12-13 minutes and gave up nothing. People shouldn't be overlooking how important a game like this could be.

Paraphrasing is just creating one's own narrative through the filter of their own bias. AKA - a distortion of the truth - AKA not what was said.

One thing I noticed is that the third period flew by last night. Whereas the Buffalo 3rd was a slog. I think the team's play in both probably contributed. Taking care of business made time fly vs. having thing being made interesting.

That's exactly what I noticed. The 3rd period started and the Leafs were on their heels for the first 3-4 minutes, and then suddenly the next time I became aware of the time remaining was with about 5 minutes left. It really did fly by, but that's what it feels like to have a low event period.

He's exactly the type of player we needed to add to the bottom 6!

I am loving the fact Acciari has also got ZAR going after he took a dip.

 

[AvroArrow]

Still can't believe we got Samsonov for 1.8M lol and he's an RFA.

My bad - Eastern Hemisphere.

To be fair, he wasn't predicting we would only get 86 points this year, but just stating that our four goalies (Samsonov, Kallgren, Murray, and Woll) only got that many last year.
