the standing s dont tell the true story
thats the be all end all right there. - Dozzer
...what?
I understand playoff time is a different beast...but
Standings are the story.
i have no idea why this is bold. |

This is going to sound crazy, but I would prefer to have Liles back up and playing over Gardiner, Ranger, Gunnarsson, and even Rielly (at least until he matures and rounds out his game). Faser gets a pass because he is the only one that makes players pay down low and in front of the net. |

no..team stats dont tell the whole story.
Standings.. well. kinda. are. the.story. - Cherry--Skoal
These next 8 games will give us a clearer picture about this team. I don't think we are going to like it any better than before these stretch of games to come. |

no they arent.
go take a look at the schedule.. you will note that other than one game against pittsburgh the leafs have lost everytime they have played one of the top teams in the league.
so sure.. the leafs are one of the better crappy teams.. yay. |
|
|
|
when they are playing the leafs they do
no team.. not the 1980's oilers, not the 70's habs.. can play a style where they are routinely out shot 2-1 and continue to win.
its never happened before.. and its not going to happen now. - Dozzer
you're being dramatic saying 2-1
corsi get the best of you.... i tihnk yost blog is where you need to be for that |

He should definitely be playing over Ranger at this point. I've been on this hobbyhorse for a while. At the very least, a veteran presence. |

no you're right. standings don't matter.
And Toronto is different... everyone knows most players when they play toronto bring all they have. They know all their family and friends are watching.
all this... crying over playing bad teams i tune out. because players get their Richard up to play toronto...it's fact. |

Liles deserves a shot....his cap hit says no. |

The leafs play better against better opposition. I'm really not that worried about it.
we will lose some. Yes.
We will win some. Yes. |

Gardiner and Gunnarsson have been train wrecks this season as well. Franson isn't much better either. Rielly is good, but still needs more seasoning, and having a vet like Liles around might be beneficial for him. As it stands now, he is not learning anything from any of the current D on the team. |

They can fit him in. Its only 900K they're saving with him the AHL. |

We will see if they raise their level of play, so far they have not except for the odd period here and there. I hope you're right. |
