Last 3 playoffs:

C/W Paul (31): 16gms, 25.9toi% (+3.3dzs%), 41.9xgf% (-4.9rel), 1.01p1/60, 1.01p/60
W Roslovic (29): 31gms, 24.9toi% (-7.0dzs%), 41.4xgf% (-6.8rel), 0.84p1/60, 1.84p/60
C/W Blueger (32): 13gms, 22.2toi% (+2.4dzs%), 41.9xgf% (-6.7rel), 0.70p1/60, 0.70p/60

C/W Sissons (33): 28gms, 23.8toi% (+6.2dzs%), 49.8xgf% (-1.4rel), 0.74p1/60, 1.33p/60
W Duhaime (29): 21gms, 18.5toi% (+12.5dzs%), 54.7xgf% (+4.0rel), 1.32p1/60, 1.43p/60


Was thinking maybe they were great playoffs guys or somethin but....nope.

At least Sissons and Duhaime have been good playoffs guys in tough roles. The other three.....yikes.
 
Engvall-Kampf-Mikheyev
ZAR-Lafferty-Holmberg

Paul-Sissons-Roslovic
Lorentz-Blugger-Duhaime

Can you spot the difference
I mean Paul and sissons are both better c’s than kamof and Laff (who never was a real c). And laff zar and engvall aren’t nhlers.

Roslovic has a very bad rap as a playoff no show
 
Jeffrey viel got the same. Duhaime is solid. If they didn’t do sissons I think it’s tidy work 2.5m got most teams guys we’ve never heard of whereas the leafs added two quality bottom sizers.
 
Does nobody think the entire roster from last year would have performed head and shoulder better with someone who has a clue behind the bench? Someone who’d play to their strengths and create systems to amplify them? I mean, honestly, the new acquisitions could be just turnover and be equal to last years drek and have an analytics driven coach who can get way more out of them working with instead of against them.

That's just crazy enough to work!
 


McMann 24.25 (99th) --- Duhaime 23.30 (92nd)
Domi 22.95 (83rd) --- Sissons 22.98 (84th)
Maccelli 22.75 (75th) --- Roslovic 22.76 (76th)
Robertson 22.67 (72nd) --- McKenna ???
Laughton 22.32 (55th) --- Paul 22.49 (64th)
Jarnkrok 21.86 (-50th) --- Blueger 22.23 (-50th)
Roy 20.97 (-50th) --- MacEwen 21.22 (-50th)


with Lorentz 22.72 (74th) maybe pushed out of the lineup too.

so you're saying the complaints about last year's team being too slow and not playing with enough pace, were incorrect and they were actually super fast?
