Toronto vs Calgary 7 game series.

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Gaudreau is the only Flames forward on the same level as Matthews/Marner/Tavares. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Gaudreau 91 points
Lindholm 76 points
Monahan 76 points
Tkachuk 72 points

Marner 85 points
Tavares 77 points
Matthews 65 points

But okay...

Yep, that's exactly why comparing raw points totals is flawed

But still less a flaw than to put Matthews is on the same level than McDavid only based on suppositions. Raw points totals are concrete at least.

Someone other than leaf fans get it. Nobody ever mentions contracts either. And no Tkachuk won’t be getting 11 million AAV.

And Marner is going to get 12 miilions AAV according to Brad Marchand.

I prefer not to base my opinions on a single season of inflated numbers.

Of course you don't. Why would anyone recognize facts that don't support their biased opinions? Carry on. As you were.

A stats comparison between the Flames top 6 players and the Leafs top 6 players using Pts/Game.
Its close... very very close.

Calgary is getting real overrated on this forum.

They’re literally below Toronto in points percentage. They also missed the playoffs last year and they may as well have missed in the year before when they got swept in the first round by the ****ing Ducks.

Their starting goaltender is an unproven 26 year old with less than 40 starts at the NHL level who posted an .889 SV% in 12 AHL games and their backup is Mike Smith.

They’re not even top-10 in 5V5 GF/60, they’re not top ten in 5V5 GA/60, they’re not top-10 in PP%, and they’re not top-10 in PK%. And given what I mentioned above, they’re lucky as hell that they’re not bottom-10 in save percentage, but they probably will be by the end of the season.

The one thing that brings them into this elite class is that they’re 1st in the NHL with 157 power play opportunities. They do nothing else at an elite level. And while they do have some solid **** disturbers like Gaudreau and Tkachuk, who draw penalties quite well, I don’t think that they’re going to sustain those 157 power play opportunities.

Outside of the PP opportunities, they’re a pretty solid Swiss Army knife of a team - not bad in any category (though I suspect goaltending will be by the end of the season), but not great at anything. That’s not really a winning formula.

He was sent to warn them.

Toronto hasn't accomplished anything to write home about but the Flames just lost to an 8 seed in a convincing fashion. So much for a star studded D and all those PPG guys who did diddly squat in this series.

 

[Leafidelity]

edit: Didnt realize this was a bump. Not much needs to be said now.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Toronto is no match for tkachuk....he would make marner, nylander and matthews beg to be takin out of lineup

mmhmm

Pretty funny you're tooting your own horn, and yet your team is also on the verge of getting bumped out of the playoffs.

So my comments about an unrelated team are not accurate/valid because the team I cheer for is down 3-2 in a series?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

mmhmm

I do enjoy insecure maple leaf fans

 

[Pi]

The Leafs would have feasted on the Flames. Shame that we couldn't get an easy match up in the first round .

 

[Love]

Voted Leafs back when this thread was created but I thought it was close. Now I would say the Leafs would win a series against the Flames in 4 or 5 games.

 

[A4T1L6]

Leafs in 5

 

[Mickey Marner]

ITT Pride before the fall.

 

[koyvoo]

Considering the general effort and execution Calgary displayed in their first round loss, I’m not even sure they could beat the AHL Toronto Marlies at this point, let alone beating the leafs.

 

[EscapeGoat]

Should be Marlies vs Flames to be honest. Clean sweep by the Leafs at worst.

 

[Menzinger]

This thread has been an absolute hilarious reread

Don't think there's enough crows in the world for folks who deserve to eat some
