The Best Team in the Salary Cap era (frank)ing sucks!!!

- Tonybere


Any team can lose due to goalies + luck. Even the greatest roster ever constructed in the cap era. Haha. Dubas. What a loser.

Just so (frank)ed up that Tanner can’t be made to understand how lacking the Leafs D and overall make up are.
Their D would get lit up in the AHL.

A group of players with high Jfresh scores, but they don't play as a team, they don't sacrifice enough for each other, not enough guys winning puck battles, blocking shots, and yes, an awful defense. But Tanner thinks it's all about luck and Jfresh.

Tanner you are wrong again! About everything. The leafs, The Yotes. I think you don't understand the stats you read. Or you are just trolling everyone. Nobody can be this bad at understanding Hockey! I was thinking of your predictions today, when the Leafs got shut out and eliminated. Think of it this way. The leafs and the Yotes were not going to make the playoffs this year anyway. Except for the Virus, So it was like a free shot at the playoffs for both teams. The Yotes just have a more balanced team. The leafs need Defense. But I have a feeling you will be lobbying for More offense. Like signing Taylor Hall for 10 million.

The good news is Tanner won't be busy watching the Leafs all the time. Maybe he can actually report on the Coyotes? Haha. How many points did the $40M quartet get tonight? Umm, zero, again. Haha.

The Leafs have proven over and over again they aren't even a good team--just mediocre with some tremendous talent.

The loaded up top line is a perfect example. All 3 were out there playing as individuals. Like it was an all star game. No cohesion, no chemistry and no team work.

The 2nd Columbus goal was one of most pathetic displays of defensive hockey I ever seen. No aggressiveness as a player skates laterally along the blue line. An easy dump in. An easy collection of the puck, and an easy skate right to the net.

Could the great Morgan Reilly's effort on the EN goal have been any weaker? Was he actually breathing?

Best team in the cap era. Absolutely hysterical.

However the NHL needs to get together and reverse the outcome of this series. Did you see the expected goals stat? How about corsi? Scoring chances? That's what really matters. The Leafs again, were unlucky. Most unlucky team in the history of the NHL.

How do you come to these conclusions? How do you calculate these overpayments?

Look at other contracts around the league. Even if we call the contracts for the stars fine, what did Engvall or Holl do to earn that little bit extra?

Engvall is part of the best 4th line in the NHL.

Holl is part of a defense that is so good that their 7th d-man is the best in the NHL.

Come on guys, it's very simple.

The Leafs only ever lose because of good goaltending.
The Coyotes only ever win because of good goaltending and Taylor Hall.

It's science.

"It took winning four games in a row just to get two victories..."

I mean, you can't make up a line as idiotic as this.

Has Tanner surfaced anywhere yet? Any news on the NHL now deciding games on expected goals for the rest of the playoffs due to this obvious travesty of injustice?

He's penning an epic article. Sneak preview...luck, shooting percentages, small sample sizes, luck, refs, goalies, unsustainable, only fools would overreact to this, analytics, dinosaurs, Keefe is a tactical genius, Matthews almost got another hatrick, goalposts, luck, REM, Jfresh.
