What

It's not easy to look good as a rookie d-man when the rest of the team is playing pond hockey.
- Atomic Wedgie

No kidding. Seems like they may be starting to listen recently. We'll see. Only been 4 games.

Keep playing like the last 5 and thats gonna change in a hurry...

Young team. Learning. Going through tough spell like every team. Everyone needs to (frank)ing relax.

I agree that the shootout thing was stupid, but right now we have a problem with centres.

What really may have to happen is either we cut down Bozak's minutes (and place KAdri with Kessel and Lupul) or trade one of Grabovski or Bozak altogether (Bozak)... Kadri is playing too well to cut down his minutes and Bozak is ont he top line, so if we limit him, we limit kessel.

Kadri as the #1
Grabo as the #2
Bozak as #3 (or McClement)
McClement as #4 (or Komarov)
- mfreedman

Kadri was playing well as 3rd line center.....actually he played his best at those minutes.
Grabo needs to play more...he's simply not getting the opportunity to excel.

OMG, 0.03

Yeah, you just proved your previous comment was complete bullpoop.

I just looked it up and Edm and toronto's numbers are very comparable in both of those categories... hate to admit it
- dragus84

I never said we were drastically better. But the argument was that Edmonton was a better defensive team. Statistically that's false.

Pretty clear evidence here that one team is the superior defensive unit.

Petry puts up good stats.

Phaneuf puts up real good Corsti Numbers each and every year. +/- is a waste of time.
Fraser and Franson shut teams down night in and night out.

I noticed you chirp Phanuef numbers but dont' note that Fraser is a top + guy in the league.
- HipHopisDead

You might have noticed I didnt mention +/- at all. Theres a reason for that.

Look not trying to get into anything here. Just pointing out that saying the Leafs are better defensively really isnt true.

Better is better. Until that number changes, Edmonton fans should go elsewhere to troll.

Actually you just changed the argument.

When hes not scoring on his own net.

Who made the argument that the leafs are SUPERIOR?

Don't exaggerate the argument just because you were proven wrong statistically.

Better is better. Until that number changes, Edmonton fans should go elsewhere to troll.

I can see why you are everyone fav around here.

Look back. A Leafs fan brought it up. A couple of us just pointed out reality.

They are playing against completely different teams and the sample is tiny.
Just from watching from the start of this year. The Leafs have been more steady so far.

If the Oilers post a shutout in their next game, their defensive play will be better than the Leafs, right?

- robin_steele264

Sure thing. At least I reside in my own team's thread. Must be a sad reality to constantly be trolling other threads...

If the Oilers post a shutout in their next game, their defensive play will be better than the Leafs, right?
- Pecafan Fan

From a statistical standpoint, yes.

Oilers problem is they can't (frank)ing score.
