Leafs 2012/2013 Schedule in 10 game chunks

[leafplasma]

That is an insane first 10 games.  If we go at least 5-5 which will be all but impossible we may just make the playoffs.

Just a thought, but because it's a 48 game schedule, perhaps you should consider doing six 8-game chunks.

There will be 4 ten game chunks followed by an 8 game chunk. So let it be written...

Look, you people need to settle this out, because I need to know exactly when I'm supposed to panic during the season.

If I go and make 8 game chunks then people will expect nice divisible chunks every season. Next year I'd have to do 9 nine game chunks and then have 1 game left over and that just doesn't appeal to me. 10 is the magic chunk.

Speaking of chunks, was Kessel any faster in today's skate?

Zee... A fun thing to do this year might be to tally up from the MotM thread the winner of each of the 5 chunks?

You mean the leader in MotM voting after each 10 game span?  So for example games 1-10, Kessel on top in MotM, games 11-20 Lupul on top etc?

Yeah... Maybe if we can muster up a good chunk, it'll help tell us who's players key role in it.

I am pessimistic due to the roster the leafs will ice.

I disagree, this roster looks much better than it did 1 week ago.  If one of the goalies steps up, watch out.

Agreed 100%

Carey Price tweaked something in practice yesterday and isn't on the ice for the Habs today.  Hopefully he's out for the opener.

Leafs have already hit 2 wins, and I predicted only 2 in the first 10 games.  Hmmmm

Let's not get ahead ourselves nutman, remember we started 4-0-1 last season too.  I'll reserve judgement on this team until 15-20 games in.

Beating Carolina and Washington at home is a must. For the Leafs not to fall too far behind 2 more points are crutial - either win in Washinton (hard to believe as it is second of back to back games) or against Buffalo. Getting just 1 point in both these games would also work.
Boston game is giving me nightmares. Something tells me it is destined to be failure of biblical proportions with Rask and Seguin dominting. Glad we play them ONLY four times this year.

Washington is due to start playing better after a crap start. My 2 wins in first 10 game prediction is looking better already.

I think they'll get a few more before the first 10 are done. Reimer's starting to get into the groove now.

I think that we might be in for a bit of a rough ride until lupul comes back. The leafs are playing well sometimes but they are inconsistent right now. If they can start playing well consistently then they will do fine.

Next game in Buffalo, historically not a good place for the Leafs to play.  Washington slumping and due to bust out, the Leafs always seem to help teams in slumps...and then...Boston.  The only game this week I'll be able to watch.  Yay for me.  I fear an 0-3 week and a 5 game losing skid.  That'll pretty much do it for the season.
