GDT #41: Leafs @ Wild, 6:00 - Happy Halfway Mark

I'll say this about the Wild. They play the type of dump and chase, grind harder, get'er on net, tough defensive hockey that 90% of Leaf fans pretend they wish the Leafs would play.
 
Good results on the out of town score board.

Habs and Florida losing. Tampa now up 5-4 after Buffalo fail to hold the 4-3 lead

Not top concerned about the habs. I'd rather the canes lose that game. Tied now.

Regardless this is feeling more and more like a leafs Tampa first round.
 
Toronto hockey media thinks the goalie should just dress for the game and make a few saves off point shots and that'd be a good win. Any combo of tough saves, and the game was won strictly because of the goaltender.
 
We're really fucking good. Probably would be on track for franchise records if we'd just dumped Babs in the summer like Dubas wanted to.

The leafs giving up 5 quality scoring chances = bad defense

Leafs goalie saving 2 of those 5 = mvp goaltending

Guy looks like he could be a legit 5/6. For the leafs purposes next year ideally he's pushed to the 7 role with sandin-lilly starting as the 5/6. But man he looks good.
 
I don't think even the wildest Leafer on this board thought that this kind of result would happen though I mean Muzzin and Miky out, and sheeit, haven't missed much of a beat so far.
 
Yeah he's looked so solid that he's already my choice for #7 dman next year too.

Also Willy is a 75+ point player under Keefe. Maybe better.

Best contract ever.

41gl/82pt pace under Keefe aka since joining the top PP unit.

And that's just barely with the effects of this epic instant chemistry we're seeing with tavares making an impact yet.
 
Marincin is also very long, long stick. We were too smurfy.... A few smurfs fine, but you need some length out there, we have that now.

Still, I think the team misses the Bear and Miky. I want them back for the playoffs.
