Game Preview: Make sure your elderly neighbor can find his Leafs sweater

When I was a kid, there were essentially fans of three teams in Winnipeg: the Jets, the Habs and the Leafs. (You'd get knifed for wearing an Oilers or Flames jersey; the Canucks were laughable on the ice, both with their play and with the awful "V" uniforms, so nobody would have bothered.) Jets fans made up, I don't know, 85% of the total. The Habs had a following, which wasn't surprising - they'd won 8 of 12 cups between the 1967 expansion and the dissolution of the WHA, and they'd been in the Stanley Cup finals more than two-thirds of the time since WWII ended. The Leafs also had a following with an average age of about 92 who'd talk your ear off about Connie Smythe or Dick Irvin or Hap Day or Punch Imlach. Or something like that - the Jets sold out the Winnipeg Arena every time the Leafs were in town, but I never met one person who'd admit to being a Leafs fan.
That wasn't too surprising, given that the Leafs didn't have a winning season in the 1980s (the only team in the league to do so.) The modern Leafs decided to challenge this record of futility by posting losing records for the first six seasons after the lockout, joining only the New York Islanders in that quest. Even the Atlanta Thrashers had a winning record in one season during that period. But miracle of miracles, as of last week, the Leafs are above .500, while the Jets decided that their New Year's resolution would be to stop putting the puck in the net, which has led to a Minnesota Wild-esque 16-game streak where they've been out-scored 42-22 in regulation.
Still, the bookies have the Jets favored ever-so-slightly at home tonight. All the Jets need to do to win is get a handful of power-plays: the Leafs' penalty-killing has been comically, epically bad for the last seven years despite ever-changing personnel both on the ice and in the front office. The Jets, despite their recent scoring woes, are also doing better than the Leafs in the possession department, though neither team has the kinds of numbers that would get them out of the first round of the playoffs.
Anyways, here's tonight's lineup:
Forwards
Andrew Ladd -- Bryan Little -- Blake Wheeler
Kyle Wellwood -- Nik Antropov -- Evander Kane
Alexander Burmistrov -- Aaron Gagnon -- Antti Miettinen
Tanner Glass -- Jim Slater -- Chris Thorburn
Defencemen
Tobias Enstrom -- Dustin Byfuglien
Goaltender
And for the visitors:
Some guys. Maybe Wendel Clark and Darryl Sittler. With Mike Palmateer in goal. Or one of the many other non-prospects who was destined to save the Leafs over the last 40 years. Does anyone really even care who plays for the Leafs? Maybe the announcers will tell us why Phil Kessel's biorhythms lead sports stenographers to write things like this every few weeks:
Depression: "We have always resisted the temptation to join the group that considers the Leafs’ acquisition of Phil Kessel from Boston (for what now looks like back-to-back top five draft picks) a colossal blunder. But that temptation grows stronger by the day. Kessel’s scoring struggles, along with the Maple Leafs’ woes, also grow. Kessel has scored just once in his past 10 games and has gone without a goal in seven."
Manic: "It has at times been as if all conventional wisdom has been turned on its ear. The disastrous Phil Kessel trade – Toronto giving up two first-round draft picks and a second-round pick to Boston, which went on to win the Stanley Cup without him – now has to weigh the fact that Kessel is leading the league in scoring with 21 points in only 13 games."
Regardless, Ron Wilson will be there, looking like the least-fun father-in-law ever, yelling at Luke Schenn. Brian Burke will be in his box smashing things. Final score: Jets 3, Leafs 2...(Because the Jets aren't going to score four goals, we know that much...)

Fun fact: the Leafs are tied for second in powerplay goals against, despite not giving up a single powerplay goal since December.
I've been looking at the sky
64% December PK will do that to you. I think the Leafs would need to kill about 30 more in a row before even hitting 80%. It’s sad.

You got to play the long game, my friend. It is not about points in October or PK streaks in February.

Oh cmon Hawerchuk thats a weak argument for you. Boston’s cup / Kessel trade are unrelated, unless you think Kessel was holding Thomas back from his true potential.
Obviously, the MVPs for the cup run should have been Seguin and Kaberle!

You are not taking me literally enough: people in Boston are literally deafened due to wearing the Stanley Cup over their heads. They certainly drive like something’s covering their eyes.
Exactly. So, to the point made by “truck” up above, looks like neither Torontanian or Bostonians care about the trade anymore. Only Jets fans who can’t think of better snide remarks or trolling comments.

Sorry to chime in here late but are you guys saying you would rather take player A who’s stats are: 20G 24A and is 20yrs old over player B: 29G 28A and is 24? I know there is more to them than just these basic stats but seriously, really?

I don't think I said that...
Personally, I am not sure I would trade Tyler Seguin, Dougie Hamilton and Jared Knight for Kessel unless Kessel was gonna make me a cup contender or at least get me into the playoffs.
Long term, we don’t know how it will turn out.
But the Leafs didnt trade Seguin, Hamilton and Knight for Kessel….

yeah if the Leafs didn’t make the trade the picks could have ended up in a different spot and Burke could have picked different players.

But isn’t the argument against the Kessel trade is that the Leafs lost that trade because of the picks and where those picks ended up? Wasn’t the way trades won or loss can easily be decided based on basically who got the best player wins the trade or is that not applicable because its the Leafs and its easier to slam them then praise them?
I am aware that time is still needed but right now the Leafs have a 90% chance of being finally invited to the dance, can you say that if we kept those picks? I don’t, not only that but that Kessel trade was also a catalysis for other moves and free agent signings. If we really want to look at the whole picture both short and long term, I find it hard to buy any argument that claims the Kessel trade a failure.

Unclear. October would have involved recriminations and perhaps an execution here or there. If Kessel was still alive in January, then there would have been elementary schoolgirl giddiness all around, and he would be pronounced “King of Kensington.”
How about comparing him to…. Winnipeg’s January.
20 goals? In 13 games?

Hmmm so this team is ahead by 8 points in the standings, is on a hot streak, and the last time the two teams met the Leafs won 4-0….better go with the Jets.
Basically the only thing Winnipeg has going for it tonight is their own barn. I guess thats influential enough.
Being a Leafs fan makes me bipolar.
to be fair, Kessel has only scored 6 points in his last 2 games, and our backup goalie has been putting up .926 SV% for the past month.
not to mention the Leafs haven’t given up a PP goal 15 games or something.
clearly this is a team ripe for the picking.

Things that don’t amount to a hill of beans in assessing matchups:

2. Head-to-head record in one game
3. “Hot” and “Cold”

Talks about growing up with Leafs mediocrity in the 80s.

I said when we started this blog that I would not bother being a fan of this team until 2014 because the front office needed that time to actually build the team.
Gosh, if only teams that were “winners” got fans, there’d be about a dozen current NHL teams who wouldn’t have a single fan (that’s only one less than Ottawa currently has).

15 straight games without a PP goal against. 22 PKs killed in a row. Average of only 1.47 times shorthanded a game. 4 games out of 15 without a single time shorthanded. Good luck with that.

I’m not much of an advanced stats guy, there are other leaf fans who can educate you in that regard. What I do know however is that Kessel is easily in the top offensive talents in the league right now. For a soon to be 4-time 30 goal scorer, 5.4M is well worth it. Boston got a very good player out of the deal and potentially two more…..but there is no denying that Kessel has produced in his tenure as a Maple Leaf

But he hasn’t produced a significant number of wins and/or playoff appearances yet. So… If you aren’t going to make the playoffs or go on a significant run anyways, was expediting the team’s growth worth it?
If you aren’t going to make the playoffs anyways, was he worth what could turn out to be 2 or 3 very good players? It isn’t like the deal was all win for the Leafs.
true story, most players that are not Lemieux or Gretzky can produce wins for their team on their own on a regular basis

I don’t think any reasonable fan expects a single player (who is not a goaltender) to magically make his club a contender. The Leafs’ Management took a calculated risk in trading for a 21 year old player who they believed would be a building block moving forward. That isn’t mortgaging the future IMO.

Maybe not a complete mortgage, but 2 1s could net more than 1 player.
Fun fact:
Kessel scores 2.98 points per 60 minutes of ice time.
Seguin scores 2.88 points per 60 minutes of ice time.
If Hamilton turns into the perennial All Star that many expect he will. The trade may not look so even.
A team that is rebuilding and devoid of game breakers should be collecting those picks IMO. I don’t understand making a trade for multiple 1s while you are in a rebuild.
Also, I hate Boston
You’re just going to have to trust me when I say that I’ve heard every single argument about the Kessel trade.

Any player who’s paid what he’s worth shall cost less than multiple first round picks. GMs can be idiots about these things or they can refuse to pay a premium for a guy who doesn’t have surplus value.
right, and if Kessel had a contract at the time of the trade, his value would probably have gone down, the fact that he was an RFA actually increased his value

what the fuck are you talking about, that’s what you wrote about in your preview up there. A losing season, as you say, is a season in which you lose more games than you win. Then you change your story to no playoffs. Pick an argument man.

Many apologies for my description of a 41-win season vs a 40-win season. The Leafs have not had a winning season. This you cannot dispute.

if a “winning” season is playoffs, you can hold that opinion, I don’t agree with it. My case is that a winning season is on in which you won more games than you lost (which is valid) or one in which you win the Cup.

My definition of a winning season is one in which you attain at least 50% of the points available.

OK, well then win is NOT defined as scoring more goals than the other team.

none, but in the post-lockout NHL this holds less importance…………teams have made the playoffs with less than 42 wins thanks to the extra point which I think is more important.
