freebuddy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 They're supposed to be perennially horrible, but they sure are picking it up right now. Wouldn't have thought they would beat the Ducks, let alone with SIX goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Emmulate a decent first half of the season before the inevitable choke near the end? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 if you're an actual leafs fan, you expect the hot first half of the season, then by mid-march, fall out of a playoff spot. so, no, i wouldn't want to emulate that, because this team did that last year, and fell out of a playoff spot by... mid-march?

amitriptyline Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well I do wish the Canucks could beat the Ducks the way TO just did. For the Canucks that would be an impossible feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nice to see Booth get his first goal and Kesler lose.Both teams have similar records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I was at the game last night. I was hoping to see what I usually see. Tough, fast western teams coming in and blowing past the Leafs D all night. It didn't happen. For the second game in a row that I've attended, the Leafs dominated a strong Western Conference team. I did get to witness the 9-2 Nashville beat down though.I'm not sure they are going to falter this year as much as they have in the past. They are very deep and the D is much better. The shots against are sneaking back up but it sucks. I actually think they are pretty good. In the past few years you could be fairly confident of the spring swoon but I don't know now. I'm not sure I can handle the Leafs making a playoff run.Oh and Kesler is a good freaking hockey player. I'd say he was the best player on the ice last night. It is tough to lose a guy like that. So far the Canucks have survived it but when he is on, he is really a pleasure to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The Leafs will screw up again this season. Only by continuing to win in a season followed by the deep McDavid-led draft. Therefore, I would be more than happy to see the Canucks land a higher pick just by Toronto finishing higher in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't understand this thread. One could similarly ask if we wish we could emulate the success of Anaheim (47 pts in 33 games,) Chicago (45 pts in 32 g, won last 2) etc. I would like the Canucks to have done better over the last 5 games. What connection does that have to how the Leafs, or any other particular team, is doing? Is the original post just a troll intended to demonstrate dislike of Toronto? t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 No because I don't necessarily think that the Leafs are playing good hockey. They're getting hecka lucky to win some of these games, but I don't see it yielding any significant success in the long run. The key to long term success in the key times is to make sure that a team is playing the right way. We're not there yet either. The D is too inconsistent and the Sedins are no longer producing at a point per game rate, but I don't think the Leafs are there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What's to emulate? TO has 19 wins in 31 games. They're 6th in the arguably weaker Eastern Conference. Canucks have 18 wins in 30. We're 5th in the West. We're doing fine I would say. Yeah, we're in a mini slump right now. But TO will have theirs.

Warhippy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Please let this be the thread that gets you suspended But no, the Leafs success? What success do you speak of? No Finals' appearances since 66-67? 1 playoff series in almost a decade in a lockout shortened season? Or 6 games in a row? Because if you look carefully even Buffalo is doing that. I for one don't think that is the kind of success to emulate because after the main roster the Leafs have nobody for depth, tight to the cap and aren't doing anyone any favours, nor will anyone do them any.
