Since signing his extension, Jonathan Quick has a .902 SV% while all other Kings goalies have combined for a .934. Money well spent.

Just looked at the numbers... If the "better teams" arguement is used, what does that say about quick. Has he been overrated?

Good point Mirtle. Teams should let their best players walk, especially after winning a cup.

Is this a serious question? If you're going to troll, you should as least know how to dribble.

Yes, Habs fan riding high right now, not sure how they're winning, no doubt it's some timely penaltys and no calls

Not quite. Health and a competent D corps. On any given night, we have 2/6 d-men playing solid games. It's a serious problem and a major diff. between us and Montreal. The truth hurts. Having said that I'm happy they finally put JML in the lineup. We've only be on that hobbyhorse for 5 weeks or so in here.

They fold as soon as Emelin doesn't play - they better pray he stays healthy, they didn't look that great when they played us last time.

I disagree. I think our d is being exposed and taking too much of the heat. The forwards simply aren't doing enough in their own end, and they're not doing enough to keep the puck in the oppositions end. This team, mainly due to injuries, has become a one line team. They need to do more to help the D clear the defensive zone, and they need to start shooting the puck more and using their speed to control the play.

When comparing the Leafs forwards to the Habs forwards, we have enough firepower to not have to rely on our goalies saving us as much as the Habs should need to. The problem is, there is barely any chemistry between players or any level of consistent nightly line ups because their is always a chunk of the forwards key players out of the line up. A state of flux and confusion, and the D ends up paying the price.

When your team is being outshot almost 2-1 every night, the pressure is going to get to the D men and exaust them, while the forwards are getting a free pass for not contributing on their end of the shot column or helping the D/G reduce their burden.

Quick look at the stats would show that the leafs combo would come in 3rd

How much is the leafs defence to blame?

The guys in Toronto are enjoying success too. And are younger. So this question was pointless from the get go.

Blame for what? The Leafs goalies having solid seasons? What exactly are you trying to accomplish here and what is your agenda?

Agenda? Just trying to have a dialogue as to why scrivens and Jonas are having much success since leaving Toronto as compared to the current duo

Is it coaching that is making them excel elsewhere?

They're decent goalies who are playing on better teams now than the ones they played for here in Toronto. This isn't a rock appliance.
