Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 3-2 in a shootout!

[keonsbitterness]

I saw two bitter rivals

I saw dead people.

There goes your vCash.

I don't bet my vCash on Leafs anymore.

 

[Rare Jewel]

That's the end of the road for the tank.

Meh, We've pretty much got the 4th or 5th pick wrapped up.

We need 4th. Finishing 5th then getting bumped by a lottery winner would be awful. Most believe there is a drop off after 5.

Believe in the Barzal man.

Loved the sweet passing on JVR's goal.

Well, isn't the first tie breaker ROW?

if so, at the moment we have:

67 points in 80 gp, with 37 ROW

Carolina has:

69 points in 78 gp, with 40 ROW

if Carolina gets 1 more pt this season, we stay 4th (barring lottery). If we lose 1 of our last 2, we stay 4th. All we have to do is tie carolina in pts.

Sure leafs are amazing at screwing a sure thing... so... we'll just have to wait and see.

I've followed the draft all year. It wouldn't be "awful" you're getting a very good player still at 6th.

There goes your vCash.

What is vCash? and how do you use it? I see everyone has 500 vCash?!

There is still a tier from 3-5 which id very much like us to stay in. Id prefer great to very good.

vCash = virtual Cash. You can bet on games, and you either lose it or you win based on posted rates.

Anyways, it does feel good to know we crushed the Sens playoff dreams in the past two weeks

Believe in the Barzal man.

no thanks

 

[pooleboy]

no thanks

If barzal didn't get hurt he would be top 5, just go check out how many points he has and how terrible at scoring his team is

 

[hockeystick89]

This team makes we want to vomit.

Currently doing everything in their power to help Boston while attempting to screw up the pick.

 

[PuckMagi]

If we could get Hanifin and Barzal in this draft, that would be amazing.

 

[Max Power]

Why do the leafs play like its the damn playoffs every time they play us. Remember the good old days when we beat u in the regular season and u killed us in the playoffs. What happened!!
Hate sens fans who hate on the leafs, respect!! I just want us to win so we can be to the habs like u guys were to us, we kill them. Stupid habs fans, silly regular season winners

 

[Bluejaysfan*]

The Senators are like the one Canadian team that everyone forgets or doesn't care about.

Strome is a lot better than Barzal.

 

[I am Canadian]

The tears in the Sens gdt is hilarious!

If a team loses two games in a row to the Leafs they don't deserve playoffs. This almost makes the two points worth it..but not quite!

 

[Beaninfritz]

Strome is a lot slower than Barzal.

Fixed that for you.

I can't recall the exact post/thread, but someone broke down the ppg of strome and barzal minus McJesus. Their numbers were pretty similar. Strome was somewhere around 1.50ppg, and Barzal was 1.30ppg if I remember correctly.

When you also factor in the fact that Erie has a much more stacked team than Seattle, you realize those players are basically the same caliber. Strome is slated to be the safer bet, but Barzal has the greater potential.

IMO, if Strome is taken before the leafs can draft him, then it's a no-brainer to pick up Barzal. We might luck out, and end up with another Rielly-esque gift in the draft.

How about this

Marner is a lot better than Barzal.

I'm a pro McDavid, so it doesn't matter to me.

Leafs don't need help on the wing. They need help down the middle. Given their needs, Barzal is the better pick over Marner. But if the leafs manage to screw up their draft position by winning the rest of their games (which they might very well do), Barzal is their best option. Considering in that scenario that both Strome and Marner would already be taken.

You would think Marner producing at center in the playoffs would finally dismiss the silly motion that he isn't a center but I guess not.
