GDT #38: Dec 23 2pm, Canes @ Leafs - Merry Xmas, Preston

[Jeremy]

5 wins in a row.

We’re on the streak we all wanted.

As posted earlier, Jersey, Rangers and Wild next.

How are we doing with that 10 game prediction HL started a week or 2 ago?

W, W, W

I really think that what we all said over and over again when we were a crap team about not being afraid or worried about overpaying elite talent was 100% correct.

You can analyze the big 4’s contracts all you want but on any given night these guys constantly give you a chance to win. Combine it with picking studs in the late first and second and actually having a coach that plays to our strength and we’re laughing.

We were right.

We just were.

Fuck all of them.

Tavares on Keefe:

"We all have a lot of trust in him."

Man, they really hated the old man.

Also the stupid narrative "they quit on babs".

No. Babs quit on them. Didnt believe in the roster, and eventually they stopped believing in him.

16 & 34 the rest of the season please

 

[BeLeafer]

We've got 14 pts since HL asked about the 10 game stretch ahead. I had 'em for 16 and that might end up being pessimistic.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

By the way, poor Gards was left having to chase Mitchy on that 7th goal.

I think I said 22, I may end up really close to being right.

Dubas clearly thrives in finding undervalued, underpaid gems. We don't have to worry about filling the roster with him in charge I don't think. Between their drafting and analytics department they are beyond okay overpaying for talent. Just means they'll sign less Backes' at like 6 shmil and more Spezza's at league minimum. Who gives a ****.

Its hilarious.

Look at boston and all their underpaid stars.

Then look at all that wasted money at the bottom of their roster.

(P.s. we're better than them)

 

[zeke]

7pts back of Boston.

And they play WSH tonight.

 

[leaffan2005]

Chara may be out for a while with what sounds like a pretty serious dental issue.

Chance to pick up some points on those asshats.

 

[zeke]

Omigod I love fred too now

 

[MindzEye]

Good guy Kyle Lowry left some of his championship magic in the building for the boys today.

 

[Jeremy]

I said 6-3-1 for 13 points. We’ve already got more.

 

[Preston]

I'm getting "we can and we will" engraved on my tombstone.

 

[BeLeafer]

Chara may be out for a while with what sounds like a pretty serious dental issue.

I guess the refs will have to find another recipient of the eternal free pass.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Chara may be out for a while with what sounds like a pretty serious dental issue.

Chance to pick up some points on those asshats.

And yet Marchand stays in the lineup with his serious mental issue.

 

[BeLeafer]

I think I said 22, I may end up really close to being right.

Leafs have definitely turned the dial up to 11.

This was my post after the St Lou game...

@ STL 5-2 Win

@VAN
@CGY
@EDM
vs BUF
@ NYR
vs DET
vs CAR
@ NJD
vs NYR
@ MIN

Next 10 games... 6/10 against non-playoff teams. Two of the playoff teams hold the last wildcard spot.

I want 14 points.

Beat Vancouver, Edmonton, Buffalo, Rangers, Red Wings, and Carolina...

Now I don't see why 16 is out of the question. Or hell, even 18.
