Maple Leafs "window" officially closed.

[PaulD]

I think you’re vastly overrating what Hyman brings. Much harder to get a Matthews or Marner skill set. It would’ve been nice to keep Hyman but it’s not a huge loss and our forward group is better overall now imo. We’ll all find out the answer soon enough.

Yea. I'm hearing from leaf fans ...all of a sudden .....Hyman is not that good.
Last year on Toronto radio he was was a candidate for the Olympic team ! Ha!

 

[PaulD]

The “who the hell is Bunting” crowd are just outting themselves as casual fans so we know not to take your opinions or comments seriously.

Yea right.
He's a house hold name.
Let me guess ...he played for Dubas in junior.

A household name for those who follow the league closely. He had an interesting year last year you should try googling him.

Oh I know.
Nobody ever came to the leafs who wasn't a fantastic pick up.

I think he’s underrating hyman for sure. But the truth is probably somewhere between you and he.

Love him as a player, but no chance at an Olympic team appearance unless Matthews was Canadian a la Kunitz. He’ll do well in Edmonton. If someone can fill 2/3 of what he brought to the leafs in kase, Richie or bunting, I’ll be happy enough. Still wish they had the money to sign him.

You literally went back as many games as was convenient to find the worst possible record, instead of just putting their entire record out.

You can nit pick a stat all you want, but don’t try to ride out on a white horse because of it. It’s still a cherry picked stat (and you know that)

It's not a cherry picked stat.

It's a worrying trend.

And it was the last 27 games, not a set of games picked here and there.

Are you still claiming that they were on a hot streak?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Totally. And under keefe once that evened out, what was the total record? Oh right, don’t want to post that. Doesn’t paint the picture you want it to

In the quoted post, I wrote that they had a 15-4 record under Keefe...

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Can’t tell if this is serious. He played 9 regular season and 5 playoff games…

The previous season, he played 14:19 per game, in 28 games.

Oh yeah? How come you didn’t go 29 games? 38? How about 47? We both know the answer to that.

Oh I agree 100 percent he is no olympian
Laughed when Chris Johnson and Merrick were debating it on the fan590 mid season.
Hyman was over rated for sure......by leaf fans. Till he became an Oiler.

You really don't understand the concept of "trend", do you?

 

[The90]

All those custom 27 game trends that are always used. In statistics we’ll use 27 instead of 30 now because that’s where beachamp draws the line lol. Good joke

would you prefer a 30 game moving average over a career?
i think his point remains.

I’d prefer an honest stat that doesn’t go back to look for the worst possible record and to cut it off there.

Edit: He literally cuts it at a point where they win 9/10 games. I didn’t even have to check and knew that would be the case. Good stuff beachamp!

You still won't admit that you were wrong when you mentioned a "hot streak".

And the joke is on you.

Thanks.

It is beauchamp, but thanks anyway.

Or is it that I was talking about the pre and post babcock record as a whole? You could’ve stopped at 21 games and had 11-8-2?

they definitely came back to the mean, but your cherry picking is super misleading.

Also, the fact that your only response is to correct the spelling of something in my post is telling in and of itself,

You still don't get it.

And correcting the spelling of my name is curiously wrong?

Nice.

You’re in every Leaf thread, but you’re clearly not a Leaf fan. What is it about the Leafs that keeps drawing you back in?

I do absolutely get it. They cooled off. Doesn’t change the fact that you nit picked a game # to fudge the point.

 

[A1LeafNation]

It's the same team as last year, how has their window closed?

Top 10 offence.
Top 10 defence.
Top 10 goaltending.

Can't get out of the first round but they still have the pieces to contend or pieces to trade in order to be a contender.

Dubas won't make it if they lose again in the first round, but the bones of this team are fine.

I’m not sure about top 10 defence or goaltending. But I also think they are pretty solid in both areas. Defence and goaltending was not an issue for them last season or in the playoffs

 

[Yackiberg8]

The previous season, he played 14:19 per game, in 28 games.

Again, what is your point? Do you consider that playing every night? Do you not understand this will be the first year that Sandin is expected to come in and have a regular role with the team?

 

[JoelWarlord]

It's weird that people bring up the defence, when the problem now is their cap issues forced them to cannibalize their forwards to fix the defence and it's quite good now.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Look at last seasons stats. SA/G, GA/G, Team SV%. Top 10.
