Quoting: DefenseFirst
So just to be clear, you see six consecutive first round exits, no improvements (probable downgrade in net), and your take away is - they’re fun, just bad luck in the past?
no, i see 6 first round exits that all happened for various reasons and dont load up the current team with the burden of something that happened years before simply because someone online likes to use the X years lol leafs chirp.
The entire point of my argument here was real simple, that your insinuation that the goaltending this year is unquestionably worse than last years by default, is incorrect and ive proven that. Then you started talking about other first rounds and whatever.
So, if you want my opinion on the leafs chances this year as a whole, just ask for it it dont try to package this with the point you got corrected on so you can try and eek out a win or whatever.
SO, here it is, do the leafs, a 115 point team that didnt really get better or worse have a better shot at making it out of the 1st round this year? Yeah, they do because everyone else in the conversation got worse too, their offence is still lethal as anyones and their defence is still quite good. Goaltending could let them down but they battled through that pretty good last year and if Murray is healthy it gives them as good a shot as anything that was available to them on the market does
