Canadiens @ Leafs - Apr. 7th, 7:30pm - SN, Fan 590

Also, for all the handwringing about how flat the Leafs were in the 2nd period, Montreal has all of 1 high danger chance in the period. They had the puck more, but the Leafs did a great job of preventing the Habs from getting shots in close or from the slot - not just in the 2nd, but all night.

As much as I'm not a fan of someone losing their position due to injury, I just don't see how you take Campbell out of the net right now. I think we're probably looking at some sort of platoon situation when (if?) Andersen gets back.

Freddy's save percentage by month

October .901 (10 games)
November .938 (11 games)
December .904 (11 games)
January .893 (9 games)
February .884 (9 games)
March .984 (2 games)
January .892 (8 games)
February .918 (8 games)
March .876 (7 games)

That's a 2.87 GAA and .906 SV% over the last two partial seasons.

His two best months (the second month of play) were November and February of the last two years.  2.14 GAA .930 SV%

The rest of his time with the team over that stretch is 3.13 GAA .896 SV%

So his stats over the last year are balanced by two really good months and 6 really bad ones.

I don't think it's just a guy losing his job to injury.

Yeah I did feel that way about the second.  Lots of low danger chances and kept to the outside for the most part.  They struggled with possession but it wasn't like their game completely fell apart and they were getting run over around the ice.

I feel this way about Montreal's play all the time. Even with Gallagher and Perry and Anderson as their net front pretty-ok finishers, they spend a lot of time firing point shots instead of working into the slot more directly/regularly.

I think the Leafs did a great job given the circumstances, 3 games in 4 days and travel against a rested team.  We just have to face the facts that the Habs are garbage.

And losers who suck on the way to losing like garbage.

Bergevin and Treliving have really had a lot of coaches for the lifespan of a GM that has no results (4 and 5 respectively). The raw number is mildly inflated by interims and accidentally on purpose hiring a racist and abusive person. Lou Lamoriello with the Devils probably holds the record for most coaches in a single GM tenure (12, not counting the interims and the times he stepped behind the bench himself), but he has had results way back when.

I think it's related to injuries more then anything else. He has a history of groin issues and he's played through some of them because the Leafs had no back up..
Same with this season. He played 10 in a row because Keefe didn't want to use Hutch when Jack was hurt.
Bottom line though, only the Leafs know what's really going on with his injuries so I'd have to believe if they were at all concerned about Freddie losing it, they would have done something last off season or during this one. If history repeats itself he will play very good when he heals up like he did in the play ins.
I just hope he and Jack can be healthy as can be come playoff time.

Lou was also GM/President in New Jersey for almost 30 years!

There are no numbers that can accurately depict what Campbell means to the Leafs right now. Absolutely right. Yes. None.

Oh I think I get it:

Lou was also GM/President in New Jersey for almost 30 years!

That's a rate of nearly one new coach every two-ish years, right?
Dave Poile has been at the helm of the Nashville Predators for their entire franchise life (approximately the same duration +/- 2 years) and he's had 3 coaches, no Cups.

Treliving has 5 coaches in 7 years (4 of which he hired). Dorion has had 4 since 2016 (basically 1 per season).

I don't really have a point, it's just funny.

 

[Joe S.]

60 dominant minutes every night and 4 PPG+ scorers on the same team.

These are completely realistic expectations.

Colorado lost 8-3 last night. They better sell at the deadline.

Didn?t Tampa lose to Detroit as well recently?

You know on that note have the leafs been blown out at all this year? I think there was a 5-1 loss maybe but that?s it.

The Ottawa loss after leading 5-1 is probably the only other real pooper.

This is funny because by all accounts Hutchinson is a really nice guy and teammates love him. But he?s not a good NHL goalie. So then numbers kinda do matter.

Their biggest loss looks like a 5-2 one against the Jets last month (edit: although as herman notes that Ottawa loss would probably rank as the most embarrassing one but they did at least get a point out of it). The only other time they've lost by 3 goals was a 3-0 shutout loss against the Flames in February. Every other loss was by 1 or 2 goals. In comparison Tampa and Colorado have both lost 5 games by 3 or more goals this season.

As another random comparison, last season the Leafs lost 10 games by 3 or more goals.
