Not the king, just overachieving.

You know, you'd be in a far better position to use that as a joke if the Senators hadn't regressed the way they did.

It's funny how you're using a running gag about something that so many would agree with me.

The Sens two years ago really were that good. Gotcha.

All the facts say my statement is correct.

2 years ago on this board I warned you Anderson would never repeat the .941 save % and the Sens would automatically drop just due to that.

you mean kind of like how lots of people warned you that the leafs style of "winning" last year wasn't sustainable, yet you argued every day that it was.....and in the end you looked foolish, and still continued to argue that the only reason the leafs collapsed was because bernier got hurt (which i'm sure you're still convinced of)

I just think that when a pundit, or anyone for that matter, claims a player, or a team, is "overachieving" or "over performing" they are saying that to fill air time, and it means SFA.

Please explain to me how someone, or a whole team, can "perform" above the level of their abilities?

Take the leafs current "hot streak", are they performing above their abilities, and if so how is that possible?

It's a throw away line sports commentators make that means nothing.

Ridiculously high shooting% + hot goaltending at the same time could be interpreted as "overachieving".

overachieve
verb (used without object), overachieved, overachieving.

1. to perform, especially academically, above the potential indicated by tests of one's mental ability or aptitude.

2. to perform better or achieve more than expected, especially by others.

Which site do you use to consult over/under achieving stats, for each and every game, each and every player, and each and every shift?

We don't all need things force fed to us. Some of us can use this fancy tool known as "critical thinking" to draw conclusions from a set of data, be it first or second hand data.

And then others can just copy and paste.

You shouldn't underestimate people you don't know well enough, and conversely, never overestimate your own capabilities.

So you think there's no connection between Bernier getting hurt and the Leafs suddenly getting 0 points in 10 games with the backup?

Sure could explain part of what happened. But the Leafs record was terrible for most of the second half of the season.

So those 10 games are only part of the explanation.

Small sample size. Their position in regards to standings, the Leafs are about where many thought they would be.

To ignore Bernier's injury and claim it did not matter is beyond ridiculous.

it always makes me laugh that you claim:

1. the leafs last year only lost because bernier missed a few games, and weren't in fact a terrible team (like everyone else knows they were).

2. claim that ottawa was a terrible team and only won because of anderson.....and yet you ignore the fact that they were able to keep winning despite losing a better goalie than the leafs lost.........

hmmmmmmm

i think there are holes in your theory.
