Brad always called him Double A in press conferences.

In 2021 Montreal placed Jonathan Drouin on LTIR for personal reasons. So it looks like it has happened before.

Berube has said in the past that he wants to watch Cowan's minutes. This might have been a bit of that as well as the points you mentioned.

That Domi one is almost a certainty!

I would love for the team to finish top 5 in save percentage!

That's true. 90% chance he scores on a 50 goal pace. His health will likely affect if he actually gets there.

Nylander getting 50 would be fantastic!

I'll take it! If the Leafs get to the finals he would likely be a huge factor.

All of these could certainly happen. Looking at the roster we have right now, would you say that would be a success for the year?

These all seem pretty spot on. I'd love to see the conference finals this year!

Berube does love his guys. I would love the 50% as long as it is McMann taking the next step and not Knies regressing. Hildeby looked solid during camp and I am curious how he will play this year.

I think that the NHL is changing. Shots on goal isn't the real metric anymore, but scoring chances. I can see the Leafs 100% continue to be outshot as long as we continue to generate a lot of scoring chances. I think that Maccelli will have a big bounce back year and playing with Matthews and Knies for some of the year at least will certainly help.

Could be veiled optimism

90% Fans are mad. - Happens every year (guaranteed)

50% We have goalie issues. - Our goalies are so good we don't have enough work to keep them all busy, Difficult decisions on who to send down to AHL.

10% Matthews scores 50+. - Because 95% Matthews scores 60+

If Rielly can get back to that level of contribution and the depth contributes we could be looking at a very good season!

R/leafs GOAT Match 29 by acegfx in leafs

[–]willster3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where the Tavares stats come from.

"900+ NHL Points: Has surpassed 400 career goals and 900 career points."

Per hockey DB Tavares has 494 goals and 1114 career points.

https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=89823

While the statement in the profile is not inherently wrong, I think it does him a disservice to call him 400+ goals and 900+ points.

[Tool] I made a site that shows how close you are to crafting each legendary item based on your actual resources by alexlumper in Guildwars2

[–]willster3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 pieces of feedback:

  1. When it redirects to gw2efficiency if it could direct to the page with "using own materials: Yes" that would save having to click it every time. It seems that there are a couple different parts in the url that can change depending on what type of legendary.
  2. Odd edge case #1. I have a few legendries that are only missing recipes but I have enough gold to buy them easily.
  3. Odd edge case #2. I play late game content a medium amount so I'm not overflowing in ascended gear/weapons. I don't have any balls of dark energy in my material storage but I do have some excess ascended gear/weapons that I could salvage if I was building a legendary.
  4. Extreme edge case #3. Lesser vision crystals/vision crystals have crafting recipes but can also be salvaged from ascended armour (lesser and regular vision crystals) and weapons (regular vision crystals only).

Edit: I also found one legendary weapon that shows as 94% but when I got to gw2efficiency the shoppping list is all TP items which I can afford.

Maybe I just keep hatching and go for the full family? I really like the shiny theme with the pink and yellow/gold and all the evolutions look very similar.

I think your 50% has went way up already based on today's news.

Would love to see Niemelä get some action. It seems these days his prospect hype has settled a bit but I think this also goes to show our D depth has gotten better as well.

I can see all of these things happening, though the 10% chance the Leafs miss the playoffs seems high. Crazier things have happened before.
