Toronto on fire to start the season offensively. There's a lot of teams that are struggling on both D & in goal, so theyre not alone there.

Just 1 thing though, out of 20 goals that've been scored over half have been scored by 2 players - 13. So it seems it's only early, but if that trend continues it's great while it lasts. 7 scorers for Toronto & 9 scorers for Carolina (scoring less but being more productive team wise). Carolina has the better production in my opinion due to more players scoring - some could say depth scoring.

But it's only early.

What Tanner wrote is 100% representative of what all LEAVES fans believe. Stupid LOAFS fans already think the cup has been awarded to the LAFFS.

Well look at the stats. And tell me how he is top 10 in anything. His stats show he is top 20 goalie and that is it.

Awesome sample size you're going off. I guess using your brilliant logic Leafs fans should also consider Matthews and Rielly a lock for 205 points this season?

Or maybe you could look at previous seasons as well.. sort of like these guys did?

You could not be more wrong. I am a die-hard Leafs fan....I work with dozens of Leafs fans...I am the most optimistic fan amongst us and even I do not expect them to win the Cup this year. Contend? Sure. Win? I like Tampa's chances better than ours. Please...stop the ignorant stereotyping.

Dude, you do know he's a Leaf fan being sarcastic with that post right? He's speaking on behalf of how every Leaf hater thinks all of us leaf fans think the cup is ours automatically this year.

Well if you look at the last two seasons (you know, when he actually played for the Leafs) he has the 6th best save % of the goalies who played more than 100 games over that period.

Or do you not consider save percentage as an "important stat" because it hurts your feelings?

Keep in mind this is the guy that said "your an idiot" to me. It should put his opinion in proper perspective.

When you boy's getting a writer for the Panthers? They seem like an absolute wagon this year and nobody blogs about them?
