Matthews already better than Eichel

[coastal]

4 goals in his first game in the NHL.

Eichel goes down with a high ankle sprain.

tank karma.

[coastal]

Silence is telling

[Skooby]

The Leafs lost the game, so you are babbling.

[coastal]

In one game, Matthews scored 17% of the goals that Jack scored all of last year.

[YardRat]

I've been waiting for the next instigating troll thread to pop up, this time it's going to be focused on hockey? You think it will get as much play as the Mario one?

[Ginger Vitis]

I'm a Leafs fan as well so I get Coastals excitement but this is a dumb thread... Tank karma? The Leafs tanked just as hard as the Sabres did

[OpIv37]

Guys, come on. He's on pace for a 328 goal season. That would shatter my 301 goal season with Wayne Gretsky in NHL 95 on Sega Genesis.

And how do we know he wasn't having an off night? Could have been a triple hat trick, with maple gizzom on the goalies face.

[ticatfan]

The leaf fans around here are already planning the parade.

Matthews > Eichel
Reilly = Risto
Kadri < ROR
JVR > Kane
Nylander > Nylander
Marner < Reinhart
Goalie suck = Goalie suck
Babcock = Blysma
Lamoriello> GMTM
Shanahan > Brandon/Black


winner: Toronto

[mightysimi]

After one game lol. He very well may be better than Eichel in the long run but come on.

[OpIv37]

He's still a nobody til he bests Drew Stafford's 3 hat tricks in a season. Now that is the gold standard.

[Shady25]

this is a beautiful troll job.

You: **** your pants on E Utica at Main in front of the pharmacy.

My mom taught at Follow through on Masten and East Utica.

I don't fear the East Side.

The hard reality is outside of Rasmus, the Leafs have a leg up in almost every single key area on the Sabres. The most important of those being the front office and coaching.

Expect the Sabres to be the Leafs' proverbial *****es for the next decade plus.

[Ginger Vitis]

The Matthews/Marner/Nylander troika has surpassed my expectations.. The Islanders and Canucks look like fools for passing up on Nylander in the 2014 draft.. And will the Coyotes regret taking Strome instead of Marner... Reinhart I think has a point in his last 6 games so he has maybe turned the corner a bit...

You completely lost me at ROR = Kadri

Look at this year's basic stats.

if you have some more advanced metrics to refute it... by all means.

[coastal]

And the Leafs are in the playoffs as of today.

[ckg927]

And the Leafs are in the playoffs as of today.
Yes, but we play 82 games. Not HALF that.

And if you DO make the playoffs....you're not going ANYWHERE. Good luck taking out Pittsburgh, Washington, the Rangers or even Columbus.

Wtf kind of logic is this?

[ckg927]

Did you or did you not say "The Leafs are in the playoffs as of today?"

My reply was simple: Even if you MAKE the playoffs...which isn't a given...you're not even close to the Eastern Conference's elite. And right now, that consists of Washington, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Montreal and the Rangers. Good luck getting by ANY of them(even with it being the playoffs).

Consider me the bucket of cold water you desperately need to snap you back to reality.

This thread is a comparison between where the sabres and Leafs are with respect to their respective rebuilds.

I'd swap rebuilds at this point.

Yayyyy!!! It's SPRING!!! Who are they matching up against in the first round?

Not Buffalo.

Good answer.

News flash: It took Chicago and Los Angeles quite a while to rebuild THEIR teams after they went into the toilet.

Buffalo's likely going to be in the same boat. And...so is Toronto.

[coastal]

Leafs still in playoffs position.

Sabres in draft lotto position.

[CommissarSpartacus]

Leafs won again last night.

BTW, Khadri the skating Muslim is having a terrific year.

Stamkos made a big mistake staying with Tampa.

[Historian]

That one stings because the Sabres were ahead 2-0.

ROR and Sammy seem to have regressed, and Okposo an all star? Please.

After the goaltender incident last night, I'm now convinced Lehner is not a starter. I would focus on Nilsson the rest of the way.
