^^^ That pretty much goes for any goalie

Sure but many Teams have pretty good backups

That's definitely true but if this team plays a better team D (For example, Phoenix), average goalies can look like stars.

100% true. No one believed in the new system, and its still early. Its why I thought 15th
was an assisnine spot to be placed in.

I hope I get the opportunity to tweet some blasts to Kyper and MacLean.

Good post here.

Quinn found success with a system too. Yes he had Sundin, but they still played a sound defensive system in the playoffs.

I don't even know how I'd handle the playoffs. I think I'll just be over whelmed with so much joy I'd cry.

I think Quinn and Carlye both had/have the same system- Attention to detail in the defensive zone, quick pressure then go to the attack. The offense is centered around a "dump and chase" game, chipping it in and using the big bodies to smash their way around.

Reimer is the reason why we have given all of our opponents a strong battle. The efense just seems more comfortable when he is in net as opposed to scrivens.

Didn't the Leafs break some sort of record for being the only team ever to be in a playoff position past Thanksgiving and then go on to not make the playoffs?

I remember reading the Star and they basically guaranteed statistically that they would make it.

Although JVR and Mcclement have done well, I think RC by far has had the biggest impact.
