Not a leaf fan by any means, but how can you have 1) have the devils make the playoffs and 2) have the leafs finish below them when they are better in almost every position except maybe, MAYBE, goal.

You shouldn't have shown me how to do that...I actually went and did it.

Turns out I might be right. Oh wait...there's a blog that actually got over 100 posts. Take away the game day threads and it's a little sparse.

Yeah, sorry our late august blogs aren't busy. There's so much hockey to talk about then.

Missing the mark on playoff predictions is one thing, but your reasons for the teams to not win are awful... Loaded with subjective opinion, which seemingly came from the mind of a crack-baby you hired to write this garbage for you. You should probably do a little bit more research before posting complete crap...

Aside from Karlsson? I don't get it? Of the Sens didn't have Karlsson ok they'd be that much closer but the Sens do have Karlsson so it's a landslide. Forwards, Leafs don't match up down the middle. Not even close. They have the better top 6 wingers but far worse on the bottom 6. Goaltending isn't even a discussion.
- scotch_tape


Far worse bottom 6? The sens certainly don't have a better 3rd line than Bolland, Kuli and possibly Raymond or Mcclement. And for as much flack Orr and Mclaren get, they sure did a fine job last year.

I'm sure you would be a great coach, but I have a little bit of faith in the decisions a friggen Stanley Cup winner makes.

These are mostly Camp blogs. Oh...and the Brunner signing blog got 43 posts.

No biggy...but don't pretend you're offended when there's actually some real action in here.

Amazing how many non-Leaf fans are writing the Leafs off this year, calling last season luck or a fluke. You realize the Leafs came 5th in the conference, right? You guys make it sound like the Leafs just somehow snuck in last year, we were around 4-6th pretty much the entire season. So even if we fall off a bit this year, we can still make the playoffs in a worse spot.

The other nonsense is people trying to say the Leafs are worse because we "lost speed". Frattin, Macarthur, Grabo, out. Bolland, Clarkson, Raymond in. Is this really a MASSIVE speed drop off? No. Bolland makes way more sense as a third line centre than Grabo. Clarkson is a huge upgrade on Mac for the second line. Raymond is probably an upgrade on Frattin, but Frattin will be better in a couple years.

Leafs got better and people are having a hard time dealing with it.

It's so cute you think 175 posts is a lot. BTW, GDT's are always outliers. It's just 10 people going.."wow...terrible call ref!".

Will do! You gents argue this one out, too much speculation and not enough evidence for my liking.

Can't use Frattin and Grabs when talking about speed anyways. Frattin was hardly in the lineup and Grabs just skated in crooked lines and fell down all the time.

Hundreds?! I'm insulted. We have millions.

Sorry, I just need to scale everything back when talking to Devils fans.
