"Leafs Play in a Weak Division"

[OB34KNH]

If the Leafs play in a "weak division" with crazy-high scoring offense.

A lot of HF users say that Leafs are #1 for GF/Game because they play in the North. That's why they're #1.

Than why are the Leafs #5 in the NHL FOR GA/Game?
If the North has such high-scoring crazy offense, isn't it even more impressive that the Leafs are TOP5 in the NHL for GA/Game? You can make an argument that they should be #1 for GA since they play in such a high scoring division.

Thus, the Leafs are the team to beat this year. They are the best team in the NHL's first 22 games so far.

Any objectioins?

They are the best team in the league.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Please don't.

It's by no means a great division, but let's not let act like this is the late 80s Norris Division

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

The highest placing team in the north last year was 12th overall in the league. It is a weak division, no need to get defensive. Leafs are doing what they need to do and that's to beat up on the other teams. Good for them.

Who cares what people say, the winner of the North Division will have to play other teams. That's when you can judge the North

 

[A1LeafNation]

It looks like the best or 2nd best division. The East and the West look bad.

If you ever have kids you should hold them back a couple years so they can be big enough to beat up all the other kids in their grade.

Yeah, and then their coach got fired and they were playing on pace with the better teams in the NHL

St. Louis won the Stanley Cup while finishing 12th in the league also

This should be fun.

Why does this have to be a main boards thread?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lol

It looks like the best or 2nd best division. The East and the West look bad.

5 teams in the east have over .600 point percentage and it had 4 of the top 7 teams overall in the league last year. It's clearly the best division.

 

[Three On Zero]

Uhhhhh how is this thread worthy?

 

[A1LeafNation]

There must 3 ass teams that those 5 beating up on.

Ami doing this rite?

I think the leafs are an elite team. The rest of the division is not good.

Points percentage means literally nothing because you only play teams within. What kinda argument is that?

None of the divisions are good. The Central is easily the worst division. The West isn't great. The East has 5 decent teams and 3 lottery teams.

 

[Hivemind]

Wow, what a bad take.

 

[JadedLeaf]

So your argument for the leafs not sucking is that they suck at keeping the puck out of the net?

They have the 6th lowest average goals against per game in the league, not the 5th highest..

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Points percentage means literally nothing because you only play teams within. What kinda argument is that?

Huh? It's the only division with that many over .600 which shows it's not just one or two teams beating up on the others.

Huh? It's the only division with that many over .600 which shows it's not just one or two teams beating up on the others.

So who are they beating up on if all the teams are .600? Just means they have the most OT games, doesn't mean anything because they're all playing each other

 

[JadedLeaf]

Huh? It's the only division with that many over .600 which shows it's not just one or two teams beating up on the others.

No it means they have the highest percentage of extra point games out of the games that have been played so far.

The North is the most offensively efficient division in the NHL. Correct?

Schiefle, Toffoli, Ehlers, McDavid, Wheeler, Kyle Connor, Gaudreau, Boeser, Petterson.

If the leafs are simply "beating up on bad teams", how do they have the 5th best GA/Game in the NHL? Don't they play in the supposedly "crazy high-offense" division. Playing the greatest player in the NHL in Connor McDavid and his crony Draisaitl several times. Also, shutting out these offensively gifted teams?

The fun won't last. When they run into another Zamboni driver it will come crumbling back to Earth.
