Win tonight and get the 2 records (team points + andersen single season wins) so Saturday can be a preseason meaningless game.
Yeah you're right. You've convinced me to not be a Leafs fan anymore because they sucked in 1970. Wait, I thought this was a "convince me not to be a Leafs fan anymore" thread???Our Leafs are last among all original 6 teams and as you say need more games and loser points to break that franchise record and still not able to match other historical teams of the past.

We have more cups than 4 of the other 5 original 6, so I'll take that over a single season points record, personally.Other original 6 teams like Montreal were putting up 120-132 point seasons in the 1970s with no SO or gimmicky loser points.
Boston team record 121 points
Chicago .......................... 112 points
Detroit .............................131 points
NY Rangers ................. 113 points

I'd love to stick to NJ, tbh, and set a new point record at the same time.
Who cares? Breaking personal records is just a way to measure if you are getting better every day/every season. This is just proof that this team is getting better. Is it the best Leafs team we've ever had? Well that's speculative, but next season we have a chance to break our record again. Especially impressive that we finished dead last 2 years ago and broke a record for points this season.Its a Leafs personal best, but is that really saying much in today's NHL with 3 point games and forced results in OT/SO?.
Its not about not being a Leafs fan, its about adding context to the achievement for me.
My point was Leafs are about to set a new 100 year best mark with a point tonight, but unfortunately that record isn't even better than this years expansion Las Vegas team.

Nothing wrong with the Leafs doing well.

who gives a flying crap what Vegas does? why are you looking for the tarnished side of the penny?
the team you cheer for is setting records. be happy in that, not depressed that another team who actually has a lot of good talent did better. for crying out loud.

If you took all 31 current NHL teams, where do you think Leafs personal best would rank overall for franchises?
A personal best Leafs mark in not all that impressive in the bigger picture of all NHL teams achievements.
That's all I'm saying. Not a bad thing to have a good year, so lets hope it transfers to playoff success.

Go back a few years. Tankers would be looking for the blood of anyone saying that.Never though I'd read that on the Leafs forum.
Sorry for jumping in.but again who cares?
why do i care what other NHL teams achieve? If they set franchise records, good for them. that doesn't take away with what the Leafs did. it doesn't matter if it's impressive throughout the league. it's not an NHL achievement it's a Leafs achievement.

Firstly I think of it as you do, but it was explained to me that some people judge their team by measuring them in various ways against the other teams in the league. I've never understood it unless it's a head to head comparison in games played against each other, not team records
