mjd1001 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Looks like another loss tonight. Since the start of 2015: -31 losses, only 5 wins -shut out 6 times (7 if they don't score soon tonight) -another 14 games where they only scored 1 goal -making that 21 out of 31 games with 1 goal or a shutout -15 out of a possible 62 points, which would be a pace for about 39.5 points for a whole season -an 11 game losing streak, and a 7 game (and counting) losing streak. -From Janualy 12 to Feb 6, they played 11 games and scored a total of 11 goals. I think you almost have to look at the Sabres game next week vs the leafs as a likely win..and 2 points for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagBoy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again - the Leafs are cursed by the ghost of Harold Ballard. The Chicago Cubs have a better chance to win the World Series than the Leafs have to win a cup. Heck, for that matter the Cubs have a better chance to win a cup than the Leafs do! CURSED!!!

Fortunately they waited until there was only 30 or so games left to blow it up. As Red Forman would say: dumbasses. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested to see their offseason moves, as well as their success next season. Obviously that entirely hinges on the lottery, but if they don't win it, the Leafs could have the most change coming during this summer. Hopefully the Sabres are in that category of change this summer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Burke obviously got out of there at the right time but a good portion of this mess is on him while he basks in the glow of Calgary's success. Funny that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 We all know how bad it's gotten in Buffalo, both for the players and the fans, but I don't envy Toronto one bit. Their rebuild looks much, much longer. Much more painful because of the Toronto media, and it may not be as successful. Of course, again, this all depends on the lottery results. I'm a Grassy Knoll kind guy, so if Toronto wins this, with their 100th anniversary coming up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calti Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Harold Ballard once called basketball a 'ham and egg' sport. I still have no idea what he meant. I still think the fix is in and Toronto wins the lottery. :censored: chances are none of the bottom 3 gets McDavid. So its likely that a low % chance team is gonna end up with him.

And it will be glorious.If we 'lose' the lottery and get 'stuck' w/ Eichel and end up w/ Tippett or McLellan, our team's fortunes have still turned the corner. McDavid & Babcock are the holy grail; but we don't NEED them to right this ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid & Babcock are the holy grail; but we don't NEED them to right this ship. For sure. I'd sign up for Eichel and McLellan with a huge smile on my face. I'm just thinking of the outcome that would force even the "because Buffalo" crowd to acknowledge things had changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
