Maybe to people not actually WATCHING the games.
But you know, enjoy looking at the box score and assuming things.
The box score AND the eyeball test both show that the Leafs were outplayed thoroughly but were shooting on a swiss cheese goaltender.

Watched the game, the eye-test was ugly too.
They really know how to capitalize on chances though.
This.We usually get up by a goal or two early, than the opposing team ramps up the pressure resulting in many shots from bad angles as they get more and more desperate.
If they actually get a good chance, Bernier/Reimer turn it away, then we go back down the ice and score many more goals on many less shots.
What's so hard to understand?
Our SA/G is 33. Obviously not good, but let's not pretend like this is the norm because it's happened a few times recently.
Honestly, most of the Ducks shots were so bad. If you guys dominated so hard, how come the only two goals were off the rush? Lol.
Is it April yet? It isn't, oh ok. Call me then. They still have a brutal road schedule coming up. They have played 21 of their 31 games at home so far.
Leafs play another terrible game and all their fans brag, it's like they all have short term memory loss...
It, it is the norm. Its been happening non stop since Carlyle took over. This is yet another string of Leaf victories where they ride incredible goaltending and a scorching offence. The only reason its lasted a bit longer than most previous stretches is because the Leafs have a lot more scoring depth. Its no longer riding the Kessel line for offence. You simply cannot win especially later in the year (where the Leafs have collapsed before a few years running now) being out shot the way they are. Be happy they're winning now, I know I am. But this won't last. Not without a systems change. Ease off on the koolaid for a bit. This team is incredibly flawed.

Fans of other teams look to the shot counter to determine the quality of a game, it's like they all have nothing better to do...

Agreed, good thing that's an anomaly
Unfortunately for the leafs giving up near 40 shots happens to them frequently
And you point to intangible things and "hope" instead of hard facts.
they've given up 40+ shots 7 timesOur SA/G is 33. Obviously not good, but let's not pretend like this is the norm because it's happened a few times recently.

7 out of 31 games is frequently to you? Math isn't your best subject is it?
