Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3 in the shootout

[Arzak]

Leafs are 9-1 in their past ten games and 13-3 in their past 16.

Not sure about you, but I don’t need to study advanced metrics to realize that it’s totally unsustainable for Toronto to win at a 90% clip or even an 80% clip between now and the end of June.

It’s impossible for any team in the NHL to win at that rate.

Does this team look better right now than at any point so far this season? Yes, without question.

Does this team look better right now than at any point in the past half decade? Yes, absolutely.

So even though they won’t win at a 90% rate or an 80% rate, they’ve galvanized into a championship contender.

Why would anyone advocate for disrupting this by mixing all the lines into another jumbled clusterfack?

Worse still, why would anyone want the Leafs to give up what little they have in terms of draft picks and prospects just to add a mediocre forward based on what some meaningless spreadsheet says?

True. Nice streak, but let's hope we are not peaking too soon.

May not be him. Bench could have told him to come off.

Probably not - he went off but nobody was ready to come on, which was more the problem.
