No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

The press release from the Leafs. “Week-to-week” is how they’re describing it:

…and for comparison’s sake, when they announced Lilly’s high ankle sprain, they didn’t give any time frame and also immediately put him on LTIR. Does not appear they’ve done the same with Woll. So take from that what you will.


Yeah when lilly got injured Klingberg was still active and they had zero capspace. Now they literally don't need to put anyone else on ltir for anything other than adding a big contract from another team.
 
the ironic thing is how often non-leaf fans bitch about us being gifted 5 on 3s to win games. it's probably that preconceived notion that prevents us from getting anywhere close to an average amount of 5 on 3s.
 
I think all the post to post pushes these days is making goaltending a short lived position

Carey Price’s old goalie coach mentioned that some rare goalies like MA Fleury have rubber band flexibility. The rest are kind of fucked

For most goalies I think there's a pretty hard cap of 40-45 games a year, and only a few games in any 1-2 week stretch. There's the rare guys who are some combination of technically gifted and flexible who avoid making athletic saves and can play more. Most guys are ~45 games a year before groin, hips, etc become an issue.
 
The Avs lose, so our shitty-titty Leafs are now all alone in 5th place overall at .667. Their 109pt pace is 2pts off last year's 111.

The only teams ahead of them now are the 4 teams that have gotten off to truly hot starts - BOS, LAK, NYR, VGK. It's going to take a little longer to close the gap those teams than it was crawling up through the other teams. But none of them are setting unbeatable paces like Boston last year. They're all between 119-123pt paces, and tbh all 4 of them look more than vulnerable.

So you’re telling me we’re the best team in the league. Sweet.
 
I wonder how much of winning a bunch of games they haven’t played that well is directly because of this:

Xxx-Kampf-Engvall -450 mins, 12 g, 1.72 gf/60
Robertson-Domi-Krok - 91 mins, 7 g, 4.58 gf/60
 
I wish that it was possible for Keefe to make adjustments in game between our top 2 lines. Pretty much any of those guys should be able to play with each other so just move it around when it's not working.

This season is going so smoothly, can't remember a time when the team has played so well and this board had so little to complain about.
