Toronto vs Calgary 7 game series.

[93gilmour93]

Defense wins championships.

Answer is Calgary in 5

So does goaltending and depth forwards. Leafs in 6

Is Marner vs Gaudreau still being discussed?

Gaudreau 28g 70p
Marner 18g 59p

I guess the gap in production has ballooned enough for people to start peddling the myth that Gaudreau is weak defensively.

Looks like the gap in production has fallen back down to 2. Gaudreau is nothing special defensively and neither is Marner. They’re close. The difference is that Toronto has 3 forwards at that level and Calgary only has one. On top of that, Toronto has much better depth up front.

Flames are 8th in both 5v5 GF/60 & 5v5 GA/60, which puts them 7th in 5v5 GF%.

They're also 10th in PP%.

At the very least, if you're going to continue to try and shoot down the Flames, at least use facts.

Lying just makes you sounds like a jealous Sharks fan, which is quite clear

You quoted my post from January 8th, when those numbers were accurate, and then called me a liar because it didn’t match data from January 14th. Double check what you’re looking at next time before you make such accusations

They worked their way up to top-10 in both categories at the time of your post and they’re still up there, but it seems like they’re on their way down - at least in the GA/60 column anyway.

Calgary in 5 at the most.

boston is not the only team in the league that knows how to play physical against the leafs

 

[Lshap]

Calgary's skaters are better overall, especially their D, but Andersen in nets could be the difference for the Leafs. Andersen hasn't been stellar in the playoffs, but he's a safer bet than the wildcard Rittich.

Why didn't they try that strategy a few days ago when they got smoked?
Calgary doesn't scare anyone as a heavy team.

Well, Calgary is last in hits. I'm not surprised that guy just made something up though

Haha I don't expect him to attempt a response

 

[PucksOnNet]

Flames and this isn't even close.

Riley wouldn't even makes the flames top 4.

Who's 'Riley'?

So one game will decide a whole series? Didn't you guys learn after proclaiming yourself the favorites over Boston last year cause you won most of the regular season matchups?

The way the Leafs played em and the way they responded the other night it would be a sweep for Toronto

Right, because the chances of the Leafs winning more than one game is zero.

Main boards always good for a laugh or two, sometimes even more than that.

 

[Devonator]

Leafs without a doubt....probably 6 but perhaps 5....

 

[WillTheThrill]

Leafs because of Andersen. I dont trust Ritich or Smith going into the playoffs at all.

Leafs also have better skaters. Better depth and more high end talent

 

[Crabapple]

If Calgary's goalie situation is solid in the series they take it imo. I don't like this scenario, however.

 

[Halla]

Leafs in 6. Andersen >>> Calgary Duo, and that would be the difference

 

[ole ole]

Leafs won't get to see the 2nd rd in their own conference so we will never have to worry about them meeting the Flames in any finals.

 

[Haatley]

Leafs also have better skaters. Better depth and more high end talent

Flames have the best high end scorer.
The best defenceman.
The best shut down line.
Better defensive depth.

I agree that you have better depth but your high end talent is looking a lil thin when you compare the 2 teams. When you say your team has more high end talent that would lead me to believe your high end talent should be out producing our high end talent. Unless you are talking before this season and on paper.

Before the season on paper your team had the better high end talent.

Both teams are having a great season and very comparable to each other. I for one would love it if it was tor/cal in the finals.

Flames might not make second round either if they have to play VGK

Our defenseman are better.

It’s closer than what people are saying.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I voted Calgary but deep down I know that their goaltending will let them down.

 

[ScaredStreit]

So does goaltending and depth forwards. Leafs in 6

Calgary has an identical GPG as Toronto does this season. Andersen has been bad in the playoffs for the Leafs (especially last season).

 

[Menzinger]

Flames have the best high end scorer.
The best defenceman.
The best shut down line.
Better defensive depth.

Vs a team with Matthews, Marner and Tavares and you want to try and pull this card lol?

 

[treple13]

Assuming each team gets to the Finals you'd have to assume Calgary's goaltending has been solid enough and that Toronto is rolling.

Coin flip likely at that point.
