So you're telling me sv% with phaneuf on the ice rises for the leafs, and falls for the Sens while Karlsson is in the ice?

I find that very interesting. I legitimately do. I've always thought that it probably didn't differ too much among Dmen on the same team.

It's a pretty random stat that can vary season to season. Players like Kesler, O'Reilly, Toews, Weber have on-ice team save percentages compared to teammates and then guys like Ranger, Bellemore, Lovejoy, Toffoli, Bourque, Dwyer, J.Mitchell have high saver percentage rates comapred to teammates.

i think that save% number dropped DRASTICALLY with the little 6 game funk by reimer.

but the save% when phaneuf is on teh ice is .925....... 11% higher then what weber gets, and 20% higher then what karlsson gets.

But don't you think that speaks more to the defenseman's skill?

If the goalie's save % rises when that player is on the ice, doesn't it suggest that the goalie's job becomes easier?

I'm not sure if it's been brought up yet, but both teams (frank)ing stink.

There, I said it.

The entire discussion is entirely pathetic. It seems, every year, there is a group of Leaf fans, who are intent on deflecting attention away from the failures of their own team. Last year, for obvious reasons, leaf fans were generally pretty happy. But two years ago they were making all these comparisons with Oiler players trying to demonstrate the Oilers were a worse team than the Leafs.

Now they are preoccupied with a self reflection that makes everything less bad because we have finished ahead of the Sens (maybe). Pathetic!

Its a topic he's suddenly trying to avoid. Funny he lived it at the beginning of the year when he was yapping about how great the Sens are.

100+ pages to discuss who stinks more


well done

it doesnt' go up when he's on the ice.....the sv% numbers on your chart are for 5v5 only, while the leafs team% for for all situations.

phaneuf actually has the 4th best on the team

gunner - .937
gardiner - .939
ranger - .942

franson has the worst on the team at .909

again, only 5v5

Notice Gunnar is 2nd?


The minutes are so tough because they have to play with each other.

If all scores hold tonight, leafs and Sens are both going to get eliminated simultaneously.......so not much difference between the two.

Lets stay on track, circa 2010 1st post

Leafs management has said all along this year not to get excited about this season, as it would be a long rebuilding phase. Ottawa on the other hand was supposed to be a good team and contend for the cup. Who's in a better spot right now?

As you can see Toronto is in the middle of a long rebuilding phase and Ottawa is clearly failing to be a cup contender. That means Toronto wins.

Ottawa does have nice banners though and this is what makes things close.

The irony of your post is you don't want to discuss the Sens and spent the entire year avoiding it.
Admit it, you would never have appeared again after almost a year if the Leafs made the playoffs.

I have been reasonably active on the Sens thread. I have been a strong advocate for their trading Spezza. I have not been a huge supporter of the Bobby Ryan deal. I have been strongly critical of Eugene Melnyk and the destructive pattern of his ownership.

last season Anderson carried the team to the playoffs on a .940 sv%
hiding a lot of issues with the team and making managment feel like the sens were a contender. It probably hurt them more than helped in the overall picture
