4 out of 10 years is often, which is the most recent trend.

Going back 30 years is ridiculous, goalies still relied heavily on the two pad stack.

Excellent example. The year that LA just squeaked into the playoffs and wound up winning the cup, it was clear from very early in the season that they were under performing and would trend up.

LA had great numbers this year as well. But they don't win enough.

sorry, assumed you'd want to win a bet, and thought for sure your brain would win out over your heart.

lol..what?

ok, I will slow it down for you

you gave the leafs a 10% chance, I said if you were offering those odds on a bet I would definitely put some money down on the leafs. I understand Washington would be a big favorite. But I would guess the number would be closer to the 35-40% chance for the leafs. so if someone was giving 9-1 to make it simple it would be a good value bet. If I bet $50 ... Id win $450

Hope that helps

It won't help.
Logic and facts befuddle Dopey.
Leafs record vs Caps this year according to him 0-3.
Leafs actual record this year vs Caps 1-1-1.

I dont know if it was clear from the start of the season. Sutter took over in Dec 2011 and thats when the Kings started to improve.

iirc the Kings were the best possession team over the last 20 or 30 games of that season going into the playoffs.

Also in the OT game the leafs were leading at 3 different times.

they seem to have improved on the blown 3rd period lead thing since then

Presidents' Trophy Winner often gets caught early in playoffs. If the Leafs play Washington I think they can surprise them. Washington does not perform up to their regular season performance.

Watching Washington the last couple nights, there is no way the Leafs beat them. 10% might be generous.

The Capitals look very solid and I think there will be some desperation in their play this year as that group is not going to be able to stay together.

The only team in the east I see handling them is Montreal. The Carey Price factor makes anything a possibility.

Funny how possession numbers showed the Leafs underperformed massively last year. And this year, their position in the standings has improved.

hmmm

The Caps are just jacked, and playing the right style of hockey to win.

I don't gamble much, but this year I'm going to actually put some money down.

-$100 on the Caps to win the cup.
-$100 on the Caps to win the East.
-$50 on the Hawks to win the West.
-$50 on the Hawks to win the cup.
-$20 on Minnesota to win the West.
-$200 on _____ to beat Ottawa in the first round.

They do, and the team's possession numbers have climbed higher with them in the lineup.


- Feeling Glucky?


Sure... but you implied that last year's possession numbers predicted this, which completely ignores the reality of how the team was changed. The two teams are not remotely equal, nevermind the fluctuation in performance of all the teams around them.

What about the Leafs Matthew's ?

Yeah... Same thing. Dont beat your​ chest too hard yet. Leafs have still a long way to go.

Marner and Nylander are both right up there with Matthews. Nylander hasn't had the opportunity Marner and Matthews have had to show he can drive a line, but he's been fantastic down the stretch in his own right.

Is Matthews the best of the 3? Obviously. But the difference isn't as big as it is between Karlsson and whatever player you want to call their 2nd best.

Oddly enough, Pacioretty would be tied for the lead in scoring with the Leafs. Draisaitl would hold the lead on his own.
