1st Rnd '25 Playoffs: The Battle of Ontario V - More of the Same - LFG!

Dom's Team Net Ratings release so far....

(these "fresh" Net Ratings are more pure than the season ones as they're entirely forward-looking projections i.e. a better descriptor of "true talent")

I'm assuming the two florida teams will end up with the two best Net Ratings.


Net Rating

DAL: +52
TOR: +49
EDM: +46
CAR: +42
COL: +40
VGK: +39
LAK: +39
NJD: +11
OTT: +7
MIN: +4


Offensive Rating

DAL: +38
EDM: +33
COL: +24
CAR: +18
TOR: +17
VGK: +12
LAK: +2
NJD: -1
OTT: -8
MIN: -16

Defensive Rating

LAK: +37
TOR: +32
VGK: +26
CAR: +25
MIN: +20
OTT: +16
COL: +16
DAL: +13
EDM: +13
NJD: +11



Note: There seems to be a real concern that Jason Robertson is out for the playoffs so that would be a big blow to DAL' ratings.
 
He's streaky as poop for sure. But 20 goals, mostly all at evens, getting 3rd line minutes on a team that can't score? I'll take it.

Yes 0 goals in his last 10 games, but he has taken a whopping 26 shots, so there is some bad luck at play there too. McTrans is fine and if they go on a deep run, I expect he'll get hot at some point and score some key goals.

Ya he’s fine. But if the coach insists on getting kampf and max in, who comes out? Krok should for sure. And then you might be down to Robbie vs Mcmann.

If it's Robbie vs McMann it has to be McMann. Bigger, faster, and at least as good if not better in the goalscoring.
 
Robbie and McMann should both be in. Especially the first two games at home where you can control Robbie's minutes. And McMann has to be given a first shot because of how good can be.

Holmberg, Kampf, Krok, Laughton are all the same thing. Don't need 4 of them.

Knies-Matthews-Marner
McMann-Tavares-Willy
Holmberg-Domi-Robertson
Lorentz-Kampf-Laughton

It gets more interesting if Patches is actually healthy and going to play. But even then, Kampf or Holmberg should sit.
 
I'm really hoping that last night's game was a sign of this team "taking the next step" but obviously there's still that nagging doubt that they'll find some way to fuck it up.

Yeah, it kinda resembles that queasy, bubbling kind of feeling that you sometimes get deep in your guts that makes you question whether farting would be wise.


GO LEAFS!!
