Leafs win 6-1.
Ron Hainsey scores 6 goals.
Finally something realistic.
Leafs win 6-1.
Ron Hainsey scores 6 goals.
It hasn't even been that bad. We've had 2 games where our goaltenders couldn't stop a beach ball out of 4. For all the fuss about our defence on paper, some teams with so called great defenceman have been just as bad if not worst.
Hainsey will get 7 goals!Leafs win 6-1.

How we doing in GAA ?
I agree. I also remember last season when Babcock tried to implement a more defensive / conservative game structure, the games became more dry and low scoring and everybody was complaining about that.People that want to neuter offense for the sake of winning 2-1 or 3-2 are funny, when you have a strength that's most likely the best in the league, you should exploit that strength. Team defense will improve as the season goes along, even Andersen is notorious for being terrible this month getting his legs going. Golden State has an amazing offense, they don't decide to ignore that and play grind out basketball trying to win games 90-89...they'll put up 130 on you and force you to keep up and if you can't, you lose. Their defense came over time as well, the Leafs need an upgrade on Hainsey (nothing major) for that top pairing but I have trust come the TDL it'll come.

Why do people think winning 2-1 is better than winning 7-4? It's really notWe could use a nice 2-1 win.
Man i hope the Leafs aren't reading the press reports right now. They'll think they are the 80's Oilers.
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me..I have a bad feeling about this game.
Why do people think winning 2-1 is better than winning 7-4? It's really not
because winning by more goals is better?why do you think it's really not?
If we win game 7 of the finals 7-5, will anyone complain about letting in too many goals? Well it's the Leafs, so yes they would...but they shouldn't.Why do people think winning 2-1 is better than winning 7-4? It's really not
I'm happy with any win, score is irrelevant.why do you think it's really not?

Dermott on the right side again. One day maybe we'll see a heavily used Rielly-Dermott pairing.
Isn't the goal to win the Stanley Cup ?
or do you just like a lotta goals in the regular season and lose in the first round ?
We have a tough 5 game schedule. It could easily be 4-1 or 1-4.
it's nice to be able to win close games, but it's better to win games by a bigger score so you don't have to worry about it. I don't think teams even can win close games reliably, as there's a lot of luck involved and it fluctuates a lot year to yearokay. and i would argue having the ability to win out close games is equally important.
i' rather a team who can do both on a dime, not have to be questioned if they can do one or the other.
