Sujet: Leafs Have To Survive One Year Only
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Matthews has won the Hart &amp; Rocket, scored 60 goals and had pretty much led the league in actual and expected goals per min since he became a pro. He’s a big, skilled #1 centre and arguably 2nd best player in the world. Willy has scored 40 one time and never finished top 20 in points. Willy is a great player - I love him - but to publicly state he might ask and deserve Matthews money is reprehensible and deserves criticism. Sorry bud.</div></div>

So Willy is on pace for 57 goals and 72 assists for 129 pts. Will he get that? doubt it. I said if he continues on that pace, he would be asking for closer to what matthews is making, which is 11.6m. Saying he would ask for closer to 11.6 vs 10.5 if he puts up those numbers this year is not illogical at all. You can disagree but no need to be rude.

Sujet: Or is it today
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matty_top_2_not_2</b></div><div>no, we can't, because this is not the way you win playoff hockey games. the 6-5 and 5-4 OT wins are fun to watch in the regular season, but the play switches in the playoffs. any team we play, no matter how poor they are defensively, will NOT be giving up 5-6 goals a game.

idk about you, but for me personally, i'd rather watch the leafs win games in the playoffs rather than the regular season.</div></div>

Can't have a chance to win in the playoffs without winning in the regular season. But that's a fair point, I would rather they win in the playoffs as well. The playoffs, imo, has an underlying issue that the game changes significantly in the way it's officiated. It's such a weird concept to me how no other pro sports league has this same issue. So the type of play that gets you to the playoffs isn't necessarily the best way to win once there. Whether the D corps is good on advanced metrics or not the issue remains that none of our core talent players are willing to play the type of hockey that wins in the playoffs. So change the D all you want, it's not going to magically make Nylander and Marner hard to play against in the corners.
