Game in 8.1%: Game 82, Leafs 1 vs. Habs 4
Share

Boxscore | Ice Time | Recap

You’ve just watched your final 60 minutes of Leaf hockey until next September, and spent it half-hoping the Habs would win (which they did). What a fun end to the season, amirite?

The Leafs did land the fifth overall pick by losing and will have an 8.1% chance at winning Tuesday’s NHL draft lottery. They finish the season 35-37-10, for 80 points – a five point step back from last season.

No use writing up 10 points tonight, I’ll just extend my appreciation. This was a fun and active season on Maple Leafs Hot Stove, our most active in our four seasons of existence, and we thank all that participated. Onto discussing how to fix this mess.

    There are never infinity points for any line. People want a big name center. That big name center will produce points. Until the Lupul injury that line was producing as the 1st or 2nd best line in the league. The points get spread out. Period.

    I would even disagree that he is entirely soft on the puck.

    Kessel is one of the best pure passers in the league, he can put the puck almost anywhere he wants and his playmaking game this year proved it. You can not make the plays he makes and not have soft hands.

    Understand that argument, and it has merit, but getting that 1C gives us flexibility to move a couple of pieces around.

    Maybe he should let Kessel know, I’m sure Phil would pay a fortune for the extra one lol

    Thats the only clip you’ll find where he’s done that, Kes likes to free wheel and avoid contact…Kessel could net way more goals if battled hard like that…Stammer scores a lot of goals that way by protecting the puck…

    There isn’t a more fitting center in the league. I hope you’re right.

    Maybe Kes could get a glass nut? Might be hard on the GF’s chin but if she’s a good girl she can handle it…at least it would look normal

    Stammer is a generational talent. Unfair comparison.

    You don my have a clue. I guess Frattin, Mac, kadri can’t play 2nd or 3rd line minutes?

    Not comparing, just saying Kes has the potential to score a few more if he battled harder like Stammer..Stammer will do what ever it takes, he even scores from his ass..
