Leafs 2024-2025 Season Thread

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.

Tanev doesn't hit. Yet he's very effective. Rielly actually has close to twice as many hits as Tanev.
The thing with Rielly is he is heavy. He doesn't need to hit but he should also not make weak plays for someone with his size. Especially along the boards.

I think, though, that he plays heavy and uses his size to impose his will. Rielly does not play heavy.

So I'm a big baseball and soccer fan and I dont watch much hockey, but could someone please explain whats the use in playing a regular season when half the teams make the playoffs (16 out of 32). It just seems like a gigantic waste of time, and it makes the season go on way too long.

I know I'll be attacked for this post, so bring it on

What's your problem? You clearly didn't notice that the NHL has been scaling back on letting teams into the playoffs. It used to be 66.6667%
