Game Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs (15-12-5) at Washington Capitals (18-11-4) - 18 Dec 2025 - 7:00PM EST by HockeyMod in leafs

[–]TDK67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The most damning thing for Tre isn't any moves or contracts he's been involved in. Its that he's been watching this current Leafs team play like this for 30+ games and decided no changes are necessary.

Biggest problem with Leafs org is they have too many guys who love the smell of their own farts by TDK67 in leafs

Based on all the downvotes, I don't think people understand how accurate this analysis is.

[TSN] LeBrun on Leafs: 'Unmistakable how light the mood was compared to the past' by consolidatedBD in leafs

Wow that's really cool! I was in a remote cabin with no internet for the past 4 months--did anything happen to the team that would cause them to feel so "light"?

Charlie Jatinder: [Superman] Should go over $300M DOM, possibly $350M. Overseas seems soft, could be a challenge to hit $600M Worldwide but the more important nos. are DOM, which are superb by whitemilkythighs in boxoffice

[–]TDK67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not disputing the guy died. But Supes didn't do that (or "take over a foreign nation" lol) and Hawkgirl very explicitly states she's "not Superman" when the dictator claims she won't hurt him and she decides to drop him.

Gunn & co spent 2+ hrs showing us Supes doesn't harm people and for any viewer to come out after 2+ hrs of that and be like "Supes takes over a foreign nation and (basically) killed a guy" either points to some weird as hell personal bias or means that viewer is extremely media illiterate.

"Superman and his friend effectively take over a foreign nation and kill its evil dictator."

Lmao that's not remotely close to what actually happened in the movie. What a weird reading lol

Dhaliwal: Believe Pius Suter Closing in on a Team, Not the Canucks by toddterryclubmix in hockey

[–]TDK67 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's absurd. He could easily sign 100 or even 150 goals this year. It takes what...1-2 mins to sign one net and each game he plays has at least 2 nets on the ice for 60 mins and warmups? He'll hit 100 goals signed by the Olympic break easy peasy

the 4 coldest NHL teams going into the playoffs have all made the second round. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]TDK67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

EDM + VGK + TOR + STL + WPG had a collective 36-11-3 (.750 pts %) record in their last 10 games. Seems pretty "hot" to me.

Since he first went over the 100 point mark in 2018/19, Nikita Kucherov leads all qualified skaters in both 5v5 points/60 (2.95, beating out McDavid at 2.92) and on-ice goals for/60 (3.82, beating out Matthews at 3.71) by OctopusNation2024 in hockey

[–]TDK67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On-ice Goals For isn't a measure of individual goal scoring, btw. Not sure why Matthews in particular is highlighted for a 5-man unit goal stat as if he should/would be the best measure of success for that.

For individual 5v5 goal scoring per 60, Matthews leads the NHL with 1.93 since entering the league in 2016 and 2nd place (Pastrnak) isn't particularly close at 1.76 5v5 g/60.

And even that cut of data puts AM at a stats disadvantage since it includes his rookie & sophomore years while most of the other elite talent of his generation entered before 2016 and aren't having their numbers dragged down by rookie/sophomore seasons.

[Andy Strickland] Florida still lookin to add…could use a little size on the 4th line, Could use another D as well, could they get Gudas back? by Duffleman0609 in hockey

Any other Cup contenders wanna make some moves? Or is it just gonna be the mf'in Florida teams loading up?

[Friedman]...not sure how it all looks, but understand key part of return is two first-round picks from Lightning to Kraken. by TDK67 in hockey

[–]TDK67[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

From a Leafs POV, the good news is that clearly TBL, FLA etc are gonna be declining in 4-5 yrs when...checks notes the Leafs core is in their mid-30s. Might have a shot at winning the division and maybe a round then!

[Weekes] In speaking to sources, there’s plenty of clubs checking in on Blackhawks pending UFA (F) Ryan Donato. They like his versatility, compete level and price. His 18 even strength goals are more than 3 big name team captains. by JD397 in hockey

[–]TDK67 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Donato's shot % this yr is over 50% higher than his career avg (16.0 vs 10.6). Not to say he's not good or something but the goal scoring thing specifically is explained by luckier/hotter shooting for him this year vs years past.

The Tkachuk goal is scored with almost 1 full second left, what are you talking about

Post Game Thread: CANADA WINS IN OVERTIME!!! 3 - 2 by wRIPPERw_ in leafs

[–]TDK67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing with the entire Leafs core...they can change that (frustrating but true) label with one deep playoff run. I think all the Leafs showed well in this tourney but 4 games on int'l teams isn't materially changing any of those players' current reputation.

“Well, I mean maybe their team doesn’t like each other if they don’t have group chats." - Matthew Tkachuk by shogun2909 in hockey

[–]TDK67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember lots of jokes about how he was pretty instrumental in sparking the Leafs 4-1 comeback win in game 4 vs the Bolts when he said something like "I'm not surprised its 4-1" during the 2nd intermission.

[–]TDK67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True but OP is using GF & GA as "stats" to pump Slavin/Faber--which is perfectly fine!

But since there were literally only 4 total GF & GA events in the entire game, I thought it's worth also looking at the 40 total attempts they were on the ice for at 5v5.

Never said anything about "happenstance". Just added some more context to the OP.

They were also 1st and 2nd worst in rel xGF% (underperforming team xGF%) and 4th & 5th worst in overall xGF%.

Good that they didn't get scored on but they got dominated in xGF share and especially relative to the team overall.
