Does this Leafs PP look like it could be the best ever?

[Peggy]

Honestly not a fan of that no look from Matthews
He double checked after the fact
44 was smart to be there

 

[Jee]

Oh my god how high are your expectations whit that team ?!

You're going to be so disappointed it's gonna hurt.

I feel like we're due for some stupid over reaction threads about TO's powerplay. I'd like to apolagize in advance if/when they pop up.

 

[hockeykicker]

i mean the caps pp has oshie, kuznetsov, backstrom, ovechkin and carlson.

 

[rent free]

nope, but there's a chance ofc. a small one though.

Look who liked that post.

Look who liked that post.

The call is coming from inside the house!

 

[Ser Grogu]

Probably not.

I am just saying taking a PP that was 25% and adding Matthews to it means there is a pretty good chance. Not to mention these were all kids who are taking a step. Marner is a man possessed.

That tweet is clearly hyperbole.

They're not adding Matthews, they're adding Tavares. And they're not simply adding Tavares, he's replacing someone.

I feel like you don't have a great understanding of how power plays work. Or statistics, for that matter.

Matthews wasn't on the #1 unit last year. It was Bozak and JVR who left. Matthews and Tavares are replacing them. It was 25% last year. Do you see where I am coming from?

 

[Tralfamadore]

Video of a few nice but pretty typical powerplay passes --> GOAT powerplay.

Leafs fans are just embarassing at this point. OP in particular.

 

[Chips]

Best in Toronto history? Or league history ?

Because the Caps, and I’m sure some other teams have had numerous of such highlights almost every season.

Ovechkin/Backstrom/Kuznetsov(Johansson)/Oshie(Brouwer)/Carlson(Green)

I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting somebody too.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

It will be so fun to watch this team fail to meet the crazy expectations set by their fanbase

So you think they're going to make up the 14 goals they're losing and add an additional 30 goals on top of that to their PP totals?

Tavares could make up the 14 and a few extra, but then where are the extra 30 going to come from? Even the most elite players struggle to hit 20 PPG per season.

Instead of using qualitative arguments, try using some actual statistics besides 25%. Maybe then you can convince me.

 

[Fabs]

Kamiccolo, any chance you could try just being a proud Hurricanes fan?

 

[Byron Bitz]

It will be the best PP in the league, even better than Tampa’s

 

[holy]

Their D is seriously bogus tho.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Geeze it's preseason.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Their D is seriously bogus tho.

They are god awful this game. Hoping it's just rust and they didn't all have some sort of brain cell accident this offseason.

 

[Chips]

It’s not even the regular season yet... teams aren’t trying that hard, team don’t all have their full roster, teams haven’t played that much at all, they haven’t witnessed the TO power play as it is now they haven’t studied it.

It’s very likely not going to last at an insane level
Expecting a new record at this time is like blowing your load the first time you even make eye contact with someone

 

[easton117]

Boston’s is probably better. And Washington’s. And Pitts.

Probably Carolina’s too. Since we’re making silly predictions.

 

[CupInSIX]

Matthews and Tavares will have a field day but Tyler Ennis was the missing piece all along

"a player is going to live up to his draft pedigree this year"

"leafs are going to break all time records"


edit: don't know where the quote went

Jets probably have the scariest top unit in the league

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Come on now don't do this...

Anyways I am not basing on a pre-season game. This is just the first look we have had of them and are considerably better than last year's PP. I think there is a chance they could break the record for PP% this year.

Kami - if you don't want poster to "do this", maybe refrain from asking if the Leafs have the best PP of all time based on how they look in a pre-season game. That's like throwing gas on the fire and surprised there is a big flare up.
