Sometimes, win-loss record is not indicative of a team's strength. 2012 Kings were ridiculously good.The LA Kings won the cup in 2012 with a 0.488 win %
Yea I know but they heavily turned things around in the 2nd half when Sutter joined. Preds have been consistently averageThe LA Kings won the cup in 2012 with a 0.488 win %
shush im a sad falcons fanSo we've got the Patriots as the reigning champs in the NFL, the Warriors likely about to become the champs in NBA, and the potential of the Penguins retaining their title in the NHL...
Thank god for the Cubbies. :/
If it wasn't for Dan Bylsma, Crosby and Malkin would be winning their 5th Cup by now.So we've got the Patriots as the reigning champs in the NFL, the Warriors likely about to become the champs in NBA, and the potential of the Penguins retaining their title in the NHL...

Dude.any other leafs fans experiencing major depression while watching babs "coaching" us out of the playoffs
lmfao you have no idea what bad coaching isany other leafs fans experiencing major depression while watching babs "coaching" us out of the playoffs
I don't really have the energy to debate this with you so what I'll do instead is say that you're definitely on the ball with a lot of your complaints, look into some of the work done by tyler dellow and draglikepull and jonas siegel, i've linked some example articles for you, things aren't as bleak as they might look on the surface and there are reasons for why babcock does the things he does (and yes some of those reasons are stubbornness)How can you not blame babs for the steady decline in offense when he is the one that decides the lineups and strategies those lineups use. Our security in the top 8 exists because most of the teams that were competing with us have been doing horribly as well. We have 3 wins in the last 11 games, and our gpp has dropped almost a full goal since November-ish.
Babcock is the one that decides to give Komarov and Polak way more ice time than they deserve, because he values "hard work" over actual results. Komarov can barely skate or pass, and his shot rivals that of a house leaguer, especially compared to his linemates, yet Komarov is on the first power play unit and is the first on during overtime. I can see some sort of reasoning behind babcock not starting matthews line on the powerplay, assuming matthews line drew the penalty, but how can you possibly justify komarov's line starting in OT. It is incredibly painful for a long time leafs fan to watch us get a superstar like matthews, only to have a coach who is completely unable to play him right. Another thing that baffles me is how babcock players gardiner during powerplays, but if I get started on the knuckle dragging mouth breather that is gardiner I'll be here all night.
I agree we're playing way below our skill level atm, and I got nothing bad to say about nylander or marner. It's not the players that I have grievances with (bar gardiner/borgman/rielly), but the way that playtime is distributed. Komarov should be a fourth liner penalty kill specialist, as opposed to the first powerplay / overtime unit that babcock uses him as. I don't hate Polak as much as some, and enjoy the way he actually defends Andersen unlike most leafs, but he is not nearly good enough to be played as much as babcock does.
I'm not saying Babcock should be fired, but someone from leafs management needs to tell him to stop playing the team like a retard.
Also yea I fuckin love freddy, feel horrible for him because hes one of the best goalies in the league with one of the worst defenses in front of him

Kings fan here.. Idk man as long as we can get into playoffs anything is possible. I just don't wanna miss playoffs again tbhLiking how the lightning are playing for the most part this year, but we've had an issue with defense for the better part of the year. The Mcdonagh trade will probably help (full effects aren't realised yet), but the rest of the team needs to step it up too if were going on a deep run (cup maybe) this year.
How do you guys feel about your chances of getting the cup this year?
