This is NHL not the CFL I don’t even know why there was American team in CFL to begin with well it won’t ever happen again Toronto was team that won recently and that’s all that matters.
Let hit you with math. In a vacuum, there was a 38.4% chance for a US city to win the Grey Cup in 1995. There is only a 22% to 23% chance in a vacuum for a Canadian NHL team to win a Stanley Cup today since expansion in the 90s. More so, because of how the divisions were set in the CFL with the American expansion, 3 US cities would automatically make the playoffs, where in the NHL, all Canadian teams can miss in a given year. One cannot compare the two.
Right on Jessie! That is how I look at games the Jets lose. They drop a game to a bottom feeder and I console myself by thinking "Yeah but in a seven game series we take four for sure"
as a Panthers fan, not having a goal in two games wasn't fun, but, it got a lot more palatable last night, but, right- no one can win 82 games and some of those L's are gonna be games you "should have won" on paper.
I dont see why you would worry now. Just save it for the playoffs. Where i expect to here Kernkraft 400 about 30 times then pack there bags go home and maybe for the 6th time do something about it or in my most expected outcome not do anything about it.
At this point I don't know why Leafs fans are so hung up on poor regular reason efforts. You guys go on great stretches in the season and then decide to not play in the playoffs. Would you rather win 1st in the standings and get ousted in the first round yet again, or would you rather squeak in to the playoffs and go on a deep run? Point is, as long as you make the playoffs at all at this point, it shouldn't matter where in the standings.
I am more worried that Toronto has the same team as the last 7 years more or less and yet people actually expect a different outcome in the playoffs! Anyone here honestly believe there is a single team in the NHL that Toronto could beat in a 7 game series?
If our Defense and goaltending stay this good then yes. They’ve also been absolutely miserable to play against for most of the games which is a massive help in a 7 game series. In the previous years the leafs have been easy to play against.
The Leafs, taking into account games that ended by Tuesday morning Eastern Time, found themselves this regular season with 40 points over 31 games, six ahead of the Bolts for a top-three Atlantic Division spot. Yes the Leafs have a rather impressive 19-10-2-0 win-regulation loss-OT loss-shootout loss record but scratch below the surface, and they have not-so-good records: - away from Scotiabank Arena: 5-6-2-0 (28 such games left to play before the 2025 postseason) - in games: - scheduled on consecutive calendar days Eastern Time (14 games): 6-7-1-0 (9 sets of such games left to play including 2 such sets scheduled for later this month) - during which they have: -- scored at most two goals (12 games): 1-10-1-0 -- allowed at least: -- 3 goals (15 games): 5-9-1-0 -- 4 goals (9 games): 1-7-1-0 Kyle Dubas when Leaf GM gave out monster contracts to each of AM34, Mitch Marner, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly even though that executive should’ve kept, for each of those members of that quintet, the per-season cap hit at US$4 million. The PSCH on William Nylander’s last contract was almost US$7 million. Fast forward to this season, and the Leafs have a roster cap hit of almost US$90.85 million. Yes, some players are on long-term injured reserve, which is why the Leafs are cap-compliant. That said, the contracts of those members of the quintet take up over half the cap hit of that roster and have been sufficient anchors that the leafs have brought in quite a few depth forwards with sub-US$1-million PSCHs, not all of them have worked out for more than a season or two at a time. I see this season as the last one during which the AM34-Marner-Nylander-Rielly-Tavares quintet should just be kept together unless the leafs make it to a conference final. Anything short, and I want Treliving to let Tavares and Marner walk into unrestricted free agency if for nothing else freeing up cap space to add depth. Playoff success matters, and these Leafs didn’t have very much of it from the 2005-06 season to last season. It's time to stop promoting the Leafs as a moneymaking machine, playoff success be damned, because so many fans have become fed up with too much of the same old narrative.
@@zaneplatt3533yeah OP here with the standard Leafs fan response. They’re a team built to do well in the regular season points wise, especially with the Habs Sabres and Red Wings in their division, but the poor play that the Leafs are prone to is what kills them in the playoffs where there are no longer any really bad teams.
Realistically we are out in the 1st round again, I dont see anything from both Mathiews nor Marner that makes me think otherwise. Marner always does good in seasons, so what? Show me the money come playoffs, they already did and they are losers, they hate to work hard like the teams with less talent. They wont win.
Anything is possible in the playoffs but It probably be American team like always…but there will be Canadian players on those teams so that’s the closest to a Canadian team winning it.
Any other team this would great. Its leafs heading to playoff failure yet again with the same problems yet again and nothing will be done yet again. Leafs owners are the problem for 56 years all while printing money and raising😢 ticket prices yet again.

Just remember. A team from the U.S.A. has won the Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian Team has won the Stanley Cup.

@@noahsmith4115I know who it was it didn’t ask who lol.
Yea being 6th overall and 1st in your division is rough...this is whats wrong with media, they just cant accept that you cant win always
What mean they can’t win?
Does Jesse watch this team? They're winning games, but making huge mistakes, that's a problem and it's happened for 15% of the season... in a row
What mistakes?
Chicago, Nashville, Anaheim, Detroit, Buffalo. Merry Christmas from the schedule maker.
As an absolute non-Leaf fan, they're playing a lot better without AM than with him. That's something Leaf fans should be concerned with.
Right on Jessie! That is how I look at games the Jets lose. They drop a game to a bottom feeder and I console myself by thinking "Yeah but in a seven game series we take four for sure"
Went from on fire to struggling... I wouldn't worry too much. Ebbs and flows.
Wouldn’t say they are struggling.
as a Panthers fan, not having a goal in two games wasn't fun, but, it got a lot more palatable last night, but, right- no one can win 82 games and some of those L's are gonna be games you "should have won" on paper.
That goes for any team.
I've been saying that I prefer the Leafs to have a bad stretch in December and January, then April-May.
As a Red Wings fan... struggles? Oh you canucks are so cute
Red wings always struggle.
@red3here @cpeterso Struggles ?????? Sabres don't want to hear it lol.
@@C-G585lol yea you guys should of beat Toronto watch you beat Montreal tonight.
@@red3here For the past 10 years or so, absolutely. Leafs having one bad game does not a struggle make
@@cpetersoexactly.

It does matter tho.
Why do you do this? The Leafs at approx 0.700 are fine.
Facts.
the question is why are we worse with AM in the lineup? we pay him 13.5.
They aren’t.
I am more worried that Toronto has the same team as the last 7 years more or less and yet people actually expect a different outcome in the playoffs!

They haven’t been same team in last 7 years this team is much different than last year why not it’s playoffs anything can happen of course they can.

Why?
@red3here Don't fans want to see deep playoff runs? I doubt I'm alone on that count.
Tampa has two games in hand if they win those they tie the Leafs. I cannot wait for the next leafs bolts game.
Toronto is 4 pts up on Tampa they ain’t catching them lol.
@ enjoy the regular season lol

@ you’re having such a good regular season you should enjoy it

they're in 1st place and these guys are still complaining.
am i worried?
i've been a fan since 1980, this is standard leaf junk.
You shouldn’t be.
@@red3here cup coming for you EH? lmfao
They were better with matthews gone
Naw.
You guys know the leafs are winning right even with a green goalie? What is the struggle? Lol
Green goalie?
@red3here Helenby 3 nhl games or Murray hasn't played in 2 years take your pick
Leafs are not winning the cppp. Hate t o tell ya lol
Anything is possible in the playoffs but It probably be American team like always…but there will be Canadian players on those teams so that’s the closest to a Canadian team winning it.
Trade Matthews they were better without him
Wrong.
Any other team this would great. Its leafs heading to playoff failure yet again with the same problems yet again and nothing will be done yet again. Leafs owners are the problem for 56 years all while printing money and raising😢 ticket prices yet again.
You are wrong.
