Leafs facing the Islanders on the road. They played a good game on Saturday, but hard to have any confidence that this team will build on a good effort. Without being overly cynical, it's reasonable to expect they may just lay another egg.

Of course, there's no reason this team shouldn't be able to string some wins together. They seems to play better away from Toronto. If Randy can't squeeze a correction out of this team, it's time to dust off Plan B. No sense in digging a deep hole.

Last year's numbers of note:

Leafs record: 1-1-1

Bernier: 3 games, 3.65 GAA, .885 save percentage

Kessel: 3 games, 3 goals, 4 points

Tavares: 3 games, 0 goals, 3 points
 
For the first time I'm using this year's stats for the comps.

I've added in Even Strength Zone-Adjusted Corsi for each player, instead of just Corsi. Still not a perfect number but a much better one to use at least. Unfortunately some of the player haven't qualified with enough ES minutes yet so there's no number for them.

They should just forfeit and have a practice scrimmage

Yep...or they could always just kill themselves.

Too bad Grabo is out. Its fun watching that guy play against his old teams.

It'll be interesting to see how the third line handles Tavares. At least Bozak won't be out there. Just need to keep heading in the right direction and playing more games like they did on Saturday.
 
Game plan should be to have Komarov hit JT every chance he gets. Completely throw him off his game
 
I'm pretty sure CRL is just being intentionally negative for the reverse psychology.

nobody really thinks the Isles are very good.
 
They're not "very good", but I won't be surprised if they're in the playoffs at the end of the year.

Still, if the Leafs come to play, this is very much a beatable team. Though HL is right that it's probably a given that their ex-Leafs will score on us.
 
they're not a team to be scared of, obviously. if we're scared of the Isles we're in deep trouble.

they're a decent team finally, at least.
