Unsurprisingly, big fan of Connolly.

About time we saw an F Mike. Keep them coming. There's plenty to go around.

You just don't understand the hierarchy of legumes.

Peanut is simply the subjugate of Mr. Peanut who answers to Sir Peanut.

I hope that people out there realize, that this team is not a player or two away from being a playoff team. They require at least 2 top 6 forwards. 3 bottom 6 and 2 new top 6 defencemen, plus a goalie. Burke has allot of work to do, to get this team in contention to make the playoffs.

Mike Augello: Leafs Exams – Forwards (Part IV) – Eastern Conference Prediction
- mikeinbuffalo

Okay, admittedly you're not finished, but I've got a question about your methodology. Are you using standard academic letter grades? Are these grades normalized against the mean?

I'm confused: Your top 4 dmen scores a solid B and your top6 forwards score a B- (0.1 below a B). In fact, take Kulemin and Connolly out of the picture and you've got a group of forwards scoring a B+ so far.

How did this team come 26th? According to the grades so far, the conclusion would have to be bad goaltending. It wasn't great, but teams like TB, Chicago and Philadelphia had comparable tandems in terms of sv %, and their 7 shutouts puts them 8th in the league (behind 4 other teams with just one more shutout each I might add).

Not trolling, just asking.

Honestly, Is he gonna grade Ron Wilson an F quadruple minus? That's the only thing that would explain it at this point.

word brother, minus the points you made about our defense - we're pretty good in that regard (aside from a few tweaks)

obviously


but seriously no one was 'great' in the 2nd half of last season. While the forward group could use an overhaul, the defense doesn't need to change that much (atleast in my opinion). Komi is useless, Schenn I'd move if the right offer came around, but between the guys we have and the guys in the system we should be fine
