The problem last year was that the season was 30 games too long. That won't be a problem this year.24 points in 20 games ... I read that is the exact same amount as last year at the same point ...
I think the reason it may not happen again will be the coach also the fact that if you play bad your in the press box .. Also the pickering with GM/coach with media doesn't exist also the pickering between coach and goalie coach doesn't exist . It seems like a different atmosphere this yearThe problem last year was that the season was 30 games too long. That won't be a problem this year.
I always thought that the hockey season was too long for any team to go undefeated (like in football) but the Blackhawks would have an undefeated season if it is only 19 games.
I like the fact that teams are only playing within the conference .. Every night it seems a game is being played which effects the Leafs ie the teams under the Leafs or ahead of the Leafs and so it makes every game important seven nights of the week .I actually like the shorter NHL season. Every game is meaningful and the players look less worn out. Also, there is still baseball and football during October to January so still enough sports on TV or live.
Why don't Leafs give him a AHL stint (one or two games ) before he gets into Leafs net .Reimer will likely be in the nets against the Islanders.
I loved Bruce Gamble.now in goal for 'trawna' wearing # 30, bruce gamble.
Maybe we should have only a 20 game season. Just kidding!they are starting to follow the same pattern again... they start out good... ok... then they just fall apart close to the end.
He makes a lot of fundamental, positional mistakes.Phaneuf looked bad out there, but he wasn't alone in this respect. Just one bad game, let's hope.
