Of course i enjoy winning.
BUT I fear that we will not retain our current position unless we have a big change in the way we play. We have been outworked, outplayed and outshot on a regular basis with the goalies bailing the team out. We've also lost our physicality from last season.
We can't sustain this. Sooner or later, the team will fall from the standings.
Wow, what are the chances?Yeah 11-6-0 same at Pittsburgh. Looking at the stats there are some weird similarities between the leafs and pens. Both teams have scored 2.88 goals per game and have given up 2.35 goals per game. Both teams have a powerplay at 21.7% although Pittsburgh's penalty kill rounds to 83.8% - a whopping 0.1% higher than ours.
That there is pretty ****in amazing I have to say. It also tells just how ****in hard as hell our team is. Our team is really really tough and so is carlyle.Yeah 11-6-0 same at Pittsburgh.

OP here is a tip: Don't call it ice hockey. Just hockey
The team is absolutely horrible to watch. Extremely boring play unless you're a fan of the other team. But they're winning so it's OK.
I respectfully disagree with this entire post but just thing, you have to good to get lucky .Very misleading, I don't care or follow what the Pens do. But were a very lucky team to be 11-6-0 lets review shall we?
Montreal (4-3 win)- Evenly matched game, but the Habs came on strong in the end easily they could have tied it up and possibly won if not for some key saves by Reimer
Philly (3-1 win)- A solid road win
Colardo (2-1 Loss)- Could have won this game, but lacked of offense killed us
Ottawa (5-4 SO win)- Again it went to a shootout, could have gone either way lucky for us things worked out, close game.
Nashville (4-0) Best game of the year, we dominated the Preds in all areas
Edmonton (6-5 OT Win)- We were very and I mean VERY forutante to win this game, we were trailing 5-4 with :34 seconds to go had it not been for a key faceoff win by Bozak and a clutch snipe from Lups we lose this game flat out.
Minnesota (4-1 Win) Reimer won us this game even though we had no business winning, anytime you are outshot 41-16 thats just all around pathetic.
Carolina (3-2 Loss)- Close game but ironically the thing that has kept us in most games this year cost us 2 points
Chicago (3-1 Loss)- Complete embarassment of a game, only reason the score was so close was because Bernier stood on his head.
Anaheim (4-2 Win)- Started off stinkworthy in the 1st, but we decided to show up for the 2nd and 3rd, very resilent win
Columbus (5-2 Loss)- The one time we don't give up 35 plus shots we get blown out
Pittsburgh (4-1 Win)- Despite giving up nearly 40 shots, I thought our team did well containing Malkin and Crosby
Edmonton (4-0 Win)- Again a joke of a game on the Leafs end, again only reason we won was because Reimer stood on his head facing nearly 50 shots.
Calgary (4-2 Win): Like the Edmonton game, we completely got embarassed out there and the only reason we won (again) was because of Bernier standing on his head
Vancouver (4-0 Loss): Complete joke, got utterly embarassed out there despite decent goaltending.
New Jersey (2-1 Win): Again a game we were very lucky to win, anytime you are in the shootout its a crapshoot and can go either way, lucky for us it went our way and we got the 2 points.
Boston (3-1 Loss): Very much a bipolar game in which we got dominated in the 1st, we dominated them in the 2nd and they played slightly better then us in the 3rd.
Really of the 16 games we've played so far, we've only dominated a team once, have been competitve in 7 of them and the other 8 we have been competely embarassed in. This team is VERY lucky to be 11-6-0.

This would be an HFBoards member if the Leafs won the cup.
I especially liked the part where he said the Leafs were lucky to beat New Jersey.
