If you want to look at everything in total numbers, go at it. I like to think we have the ability to break things down into 12 pretty basic numbers.

What you have is the ability to make individual over estimations based on wishful thinking, that equals an unrealistic number when added together as a unit.

I mean...if we played the same game with Toronto


Lupul(30) Bozak (25) Kessel (35)
JVR (30) Kadri (25) Kozun (15)
Winnk (8) Santorelli (15) Booth (15)
Komarov (8) Holland (10) Clarkson (15)


None of those individual totals are unrealistic. Even Kozun, is a speedy, natural goal scorer who has a strong goal scoring track record in the AHL (damn close to Stone's pace)

There is a "realistic" view of the individuals on the Leafs. Every total there is a realistic number based off of recent season paces. None of those numbers, when viewed individually, is out of line with the production those players have shown capable of. That would be a total of 232 goals, and would put the Leafs, with the expected offensive production of their blueline (Phaneuf 12, Gardiner 12, Rielly 5, Franson 5, Robidas 5, Polak 5) would have the Leafs likely leading the league in offence

See how fun this game is when the definition of "realistic" is "absolutely ****ing everything going right"?

Kindly point these out...
 
No they aren't.

Recognize that.

Poor johnny. Fails at the internet like he fails at statistical analysis. Remember when you clowns were making fun of me last year for correcting you all on your "realistic" goaltending predictions?

Yeah...same shit is about the occur this season.

I'm more than willing to get the pre season bet train rolling here if you chimps are looking to back up this massive load of bullshit you're peddling.

Other than maybe Kadri and Holland, I would suggest that Leafs roster is likely maxed out on goal potential. Not to mention Lupul's largely inflated numbers by a small burst in 2012-2013.

loops scored at a 26gl pace last year.

Poor corky.


When viewed at in isolation, none of them look outlandish. You clearly missed the entire ****ing point I've very clearly laid out here. This shit doesn't exist in a vacuum. If Stone is getting PP time to pot his ~20 that you guys have him in at, someone else won't be getting it. Injuries, poor performances, etc.

These things happen every season. You tell me where you want to set the over/under number at, and how much money you want to donate to the condo I'm buying in the spring, and you're on.

Deal?

Is this like last season when you told us JVR due for a regression over and over?

You're point is shit. I've missed nothing.

It's just you being lazy.

It's not lazy at all, it's accurate.

It's entirely unrealistic to expect an entire forward group to perform at their best or near best over an entire season. I don't expect the Leafs forward group to score 232 goals any more than I expect the Senators forward group to score 209.

If my point is shit, then it should be easy enough to take my money then, no?

I'd maybe give Pac 40 - but no way he scores near 50 on that Habs team. Just not a dominant enough team.
Click to expand...

I agree with 40ish but not because he's on the Habs and that they're not dominant enough. More so that I just think last year is about the best I really expect out of Max.
 
and those same silly arguments have spawned tons of gambling over the years as well....we have created 2 full blown gambling leagues based off of the silly arguments. In fact, those leagues and their quality in comparison to the vast majority of fantasy sports is one of the best things we've ever done around here.

So yeah, not sure what you're on about.
 
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the bets either. At the end of the day its about being right and shoving the other persons face in it. Making them pay me too just makes me feel bad.

Plus I always forget about them. Pretty sure I had a bet with ME that Ubaldo sucks and would have been a bad signing. Don't remember the terms, but they don't even matter. He sucked and would have been a bad signing.
