It’s fine. No setback just a dohickey on his thing.

Can MLSE just buy a team-set of amulets already?

but wouldn't that be an even higher percentage if they were on any other team, given that the leafs outscore most teams most years?

 

[leafman101]

They aren’t out scoring many teams this year though and are getting less depth scoring than ever, which I think was the point.

That limit on how much a cap can go up in 1 offseason was insane.

it's funny fair enough.

But the leafs have the 3rd best sv% in hockey this year. The two teams ahead of them are MIN and WPG, who sit above them in the standings, and who everyone praises and calls goaltending a strength.

 

[leafman101]

That is how Berube won in St Louis.

 

[leafman101]

The Wild are 5th in xG%, the Jets also stink.

I care more about the sub 50% xG and the 26th best offense than the narrative.

 

[zeke]

Blues were #4 in xg when they won the cup, #1 from the date they hired Berube.

November 20, 2019
GP: 23
pts%: .478 (25th)
xGF%: 46.98 (24th)
sv%: .897 (23rd)
SH%: 9.44 (16th)

2024-25
GP: 28
pts%: .643 (8th)
xGF%: 49.21 (21st)
sv%: .911 (3rd)
SH%: 10.24 (20th)

Biggest difference between this year and the start that got Babs fired is Stolarz/Woll.

clearly his STL roster had a more talented group of forwards who could generate more offence then, eh

eh the Leafs have dropped down to 13th in overall xGF% right now after this bad stretch of xg games.

Babs leafs were 25th.

 

[leafman101]

Which ranking has them 13th?

NST: 21st
EW: 20th

overall - i.e. all situations

[leafman101]

Ok so PK is different too.

The rest is the same.
