GDT: Leafs vs Oilers | CBC 7:00PM | Return Of Eakins

[LV*]

I have a feeling Rielly scores his first NHL goal tonight, skates backwards to center-ice and points at Dallas Eakins, the crowds gonna go crazy before he jumps onto the Oilers' bench and starts throwing haymakers at Acton and Brown.

The new king of Toronto, Morgan Rielly.

 

[Warden of the North]

Should be a thriller! Woooooooo

 

[Mansfield]

dont think i'm gonna be able to watch, GLG

We should have Rielly throw muffins at the Edmonton players

 

[duul]

why isn't yakupov getting first line minutes in Edmonton?

how long until he asks for a trade?

Because he's been playing terrible, along with Eberle. Hemsky is playing like 2006 Hemsky though and dominating.

 

[Liferleafer]

Nope, 31 points in 52 games. He had a decent half year last season.

I stand corrected....read the stat line wrong....he sucks.

 

[Kelly]

Franson playing?

GLG

 

[Sonofamitch]

I wanna see a blow out 7-1

 

[TheBigThree]

Man oilers look so soft.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Franson playing?

GLG

yeah just a couple stitches, but he's playing tonight.

predicting a goal from rielly tonight

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I'm in the process of refining another advanced stat metric based on the Leafs' ability to beat the odds over the past couple of years. It's derived from CORSI, the team's Win%, factors in shot distance (over something subjective like 'scoring chances), shots off turnovers, and goaltending save%, and so far it appears to have a strong negative correlation with CORSI itself.

So far I'm calling it the "Likelihood of Statistics' Erroneous Relevance", as it attempts to predict how irrelevant an existing statistical tool is, and I'm hoping it can be modified to measure other metrics.

I'm hoping that it can one day be held to the same high standards and valued as highly as Fenwick and CORSI, and thus be considered in the same conversations, e.g. "What do you think of the Leafs' CORSI, LoSER?"

Love it!

You probably will.

Man oilers look so soft.

Softest team in the league IMO.

Good luck Leaf fans. Should be an easy W for you.

Dam Rielly, you crazy

Bernier's recent play is not a hot streak it's Bernier as usual, he was taken 11th overall and at draft day was projected to become an elite goalie so the sky is the limit for this guy, unfortunately it's taken this long to escape bench duties in LA so we can now see it.

 

[mcleex]

These are the types of games that differentiate good teams from great teams. Great teams win every game they should. We're clearly the better team and there's no excuse to lose. However knowing the Leafs the past 12+ years they're gonna **** things up

 

[Hurt]

Should be a thriller! Woooooooo

Slacker. Left the pre-game open!

 

[Daisy Jane]

 

[ConnorTO]

predictions for today

Kessel scores 1 goal and 2 assist
Rielly no goal but 2 Assist
Gardiner 1 goal !

and Phaneuf hit
Eakins throws a rock at the Ref

 

[Suntouchable13]

Leafs HAVE to be ready for this game. The Oilers will be going at them hard. They have lots of Ontario boys playing on the big stage tonight, they want to win one for Eakins against his former organization, and they just plain want to turn their ship around. I just have a feeling if the Leafs are going to be screwing around in this game, they will lose.

 

[Damisoph]

The Kingslayer knows.

Seems like a typical game that Toronto SHOULD win and manages to lose. Let's hope that isn't the case tonight. We need as many points as we can get against young teams.

 

[StringsAttached]

Really excited due to Rielly and Bernier. Bernier is getting the start tonight isn't he?
