Round 1: Leafs @ Bruins

[SENSible]

This board will never change.

Overrating the Leafs with a Zeke cherry picked stat fest leading the charge.

Good luck in round 1...you’re going to need it.

Good luck in the draft lottery

 

[Volcanologist]

hey it's SENSible! thought he fell in a sinkhole maybe.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Obviously is he is sure the Leafs will lose...if they don't he will be gone again.

 

[SENSible]

In 2019

Bruins 43 gp 61 points 116 point pace
Leafs 43 gp 46 points 88 point pace

But keep clinging to Andersen’s full season save %...

Hi 'lil buddy!

Nice to see you're finding a distraction for yourself on the eve of the draft lottery.

You think Sens insults bother me. I’ve been cheering for the Sens to get destroyed until Leaf fan Eugene dies or sells. I hope the Avs get the number 1 pick just to further highlight his idiocy.

Too bad your team sucks so badly they lost on back to back Sat nights to the worst team in the NHL.

 

[SundinsTooth]

And the 2019 1st overall selection belongs to...The Ottawa Senators...

Actually the Avs own that pick, but at least the Sens have Duchene...

 

[JackBurton]

I am rooting for Colorado to get that pick so bad.

What's funny about this series is that I think the Leafs' "advantage" in forwards doesn't really exist, and the Bruins "advantage" in dmen doesn't really exist, at least not in overall quality. Most of the difference between the two teams is systems (well, that and backup goaltending).

Tavares - Bergeron
Marner - Marchand
Matthews - Pastrnak

Kadri - Krejci
Nylander - Debrusk
Kapanen - Heinen

Hyman - Coyle
Johnsson - Kuhlman
Marleau - Johansson

Moore - Wagner
Brown - Nordstrom
Goat - Acciari
Ennis - Backes

I don't actually see the big advantage for the leafs there.

Rielly - McAvoy
Muzz - Chara

Gards - Krug
Dermott - Carlo

Hainsey - Grzelcyk
Zaitsev - Miller

Rosen - Moore
Marincin - Kampfer

don't see the advantage for the bruins there, either.

 

[ExceptionallyDumb]

Big difference in the deployment of each team's d.

 

[SENSible]

Nice cherry pick.

Such a small sample size...

I'm sure what happened in 2018 is far more meaningful!

You better hope Andersen is the .923 goalie he was in the fall.

As noted, the .917 Andy would be just fine.

As noted, the .917 Andy would be just fine.

Andy is .911 since Jan 1. 30th in NHL for goalies with 10 or more starts.
His 3.05 gaa is 42nd in the league over the same period.(33.1 sa/gm)

For comparison Rask is 12th 2.35 and 28th .913 with same parameters. (25.9 sa/gm)

 

[Iknowenuff]

So many factors. Its a box of chocolates for the Leafs. They could respond and play very well. They will need a good performance from the entire lineup. Andersen has to show up.

I would say we have a 40% chance of winning.
