Leafs 2024-2025 Season Thread

- Start date
Earlier in the season they were winning most of the 1 goal games (plus empty netters).
Now they're losing those. They have a goal differential of +8 with a won/loss differential of +9.
This is the way the playoffs will look for them. Can't score much and look to win more 1 goal games than they lose.

That Morgan Rielly contract extension has turned out to be a noose around the Leafs neck. FFS I said from the get go that was horrible. The dude cannot play defense. And this season he seems like he can't play offense either. 22 points in 50 games. A minus 18. And 19 total hits so far. They would be smart to buy him out because he's pretty much untradeable at this point.
OEL was injured in the first period. They played most of the game with 5 D. They had to play Rielly on the PK when Benoit took a penalty. They also had the lead for most of the game so Edmonton was chasing. McD and Draisaitl played lots because they were chasing. McCabe played over 30 minutes and Tanev over 26. Under the circumstances they were great.
Give the Leafs credit they scored some goals. All 3 in the first were because of net front from Max P and Knies. Something they didn't have in their 3 game losing streak. Of course Leafs can't win without good goaltending. That's a given. Nylander topped all Leafs forwards in ice time!!!

Alternate captain for Team Sweden is none other than your Willy Nylander !!!
His hat trick bumps him up to 2nd in goals behind only Draisaitl.
Morgan Rielly is 225 lbs. For comparison Reaves is also 225 lbs. Knies is 227 lbs.
Luke Schenn his D partner last playoffs is also 225 lbs.

That's the Leafs for you. handing out a top D contract for a guy who is at best a number 4, but more like 5/6 in the depth chart. The contract never makes a guy a top player.
Are you saying that that's the preferred playing weight for defencemen and power forwards?
I'm saying never knew Rielly was that big.Are you saying that that's the preferred playing weight for defencemen and power forwards?
I always thought Schenn was the big guy when they played together.
Rielly is the biggest defenseman on the current Leafs roster.
A guy with his size should be winning more board battles.

I was just giving you the gears.
He's never played "heavy" defense. It's always been his mobility and puck carrying. It may be unrealistic to expect him to play a different game now.
