I would put a fair amount of good fortune in there also.
No insult, every team needs luck and every team has periods when they don't get any breaks and then things bounce your way.

Buffalo has eek'ed out quite a number of those wins.

Buffalo has 11 more wins than losses and a goal differential of +11
Leafs have 10 more wins than losses and a goal differential of +26
Leafs have 10 more wins than losses and a goal differential of +22

Buffalo has won many close games, and a number in OT and SO if I remember correctly. Tehre were also a couple late comebacks to tie the game. All of this stuff is heavily reliant on luck.

Basically, they are a better team than people wanted to give them credit for, but they are also getting all the breaks right now.

Reminds me of the 2017 playoff Sens
... except Buffalo has a legit bright future.

Eek!

Brown +2
Lindholm +5
Kapanen +12
Johnsson +4

Those have been his primary linemates, if you include Matthews injury

Kadri some how is a -8
- PatC80

Marleau has the most ice with Kadri and he's +2 ( 5v5 )

if the person is non-technical and just wants something thats easy to use and works with mostly everything, then I always just tell people to get an iphone.

I hate being locked down with poop on an iphone and hate itunes and almost everything about it...but I work in IT, so i care about that poop

the average user and older folks I just say get an iPhone less headaches for me lol

The importance of this cannot be overstated. I am the resident "techy" guy in a large extended family.

I really hope Babs keeps Matts with Kappy and Johnny, they were absolutely relentless together last night.

Kadri, Marleau and Willy would be so far and away the best third line in hockey it's insane.

18, 18, 16 and 8 min across the slate is niiiiiiiice.

def something going on. probably easy enough to explain if you look into it..

the leafs have 5 players that are +10 or more and Kadri is -8
Kadri is also the only minus on the team

very odd
- senstroll

Auston Matthews / Buston Matthews has not dressed for more than half of the Leafs games this season... therefore he's not a regular and is overrated.

That's how I keep reading it too. Feels like Dubas telling Babcock to turn the heat up. Keep bringing him up. Put the media pressure on Nylander to sign so when the trade happens you can be like "Look, we really really wanted him but the greedy SOB just wouldn't play ball!"
- BINGO!

hhmm ya.. not a bad strategy tbh.

although, it feels like most are on the Leafs side already..could get ooogly

what a goof lol

Kadri is a minus in only 2 games the Leafs have won. My interpretation is he doesn't have a lot going on, on offense, at this point, which means he breaks even or goes +1 when they're playing OK, and gets burned on some matchups when they lose.

Also this would be explained by EN against as well, good thinking.

If I had to guess, empty netters and SHG against.

PP he's -2 so that's a start....just curious where the other -4 comes from.

yup

KISS principle.

- PatC80

add in some bad puck luck....but overall that -8 feels a bit hollow and not deserving

- PatC80

Empty netters are 5v5 or just even strength goals???

anyways...he's -6 even strength and -2 5v5

So he must have 4 against with the net empty.

-2 on the PP
-2 5v5
on for 4 empty netters

solved

Exactly.

New, old stock iPhone 7s are fairly cheap so there's no point in buying used.
- TrashPanda

It depends on your definition of cheap but I seeing the iphone 7 still expensive compared to the iphone 6 so far.

yup

KISS principle.

Best buy selling refurb unlocked iPhone 6 for 270.... ouchies.

Glad I'm an Android guy, I'd buy a lower end brand new Nokia for that price.

Looks like you're looking at a 3 spot for a used one.

he hasn't been good but he hasn't been terrible imo. the -8 is a bit surprising. how putrid are his possession numbers?

edit: relative to teammates

Johnsson was off that line today in practice.

An iPhone 6s is going to be old enough at this point that its reliability is questionable anyway.

Fun fact: People's phones tend to be dirtier than their toilet. Why would you buy someone else's filth?

that's good point.

not sure havent looked to deply into it, and I only notices Kadri cause I was looking up what Hainsey was to post some smart ass comment

Lots of pressure on him from the players to not cave, though. Especially with so many big name RFA's coming up next season.

i would rather catch my dingy in my zipper than have to own anything apple related. hate how little freedom you have with those trash operating systems. they are pretty idiot proof though so they have their uses.
