Leafs 2013/2014 Schedule in 10 game chunks

[Zee]

No need to vote on man of the match from last night, I got it covered

Our upcoming schedule is deadly.

I gotta say, I won't miss Randy one bit.

 

[bustaheims]

Our upcoming schedule is deadly.

If they can't pull off a few wins in that stretch and Carolina, Ottawa and/or New Jersey do, the Leafs will find themselves on the outside looking in before the first episode of 24/7 hits the air.

If Reimer and Bernier had been average for most of the season, Leafs would be near the bottom of the conference already.

 

[Zee]

I'm no professor, but more red than green is never good in a 10 game chunk.

Idea/suggestion Zee:  OT/SO losses could be marked in orange since we get a point from it?

I'll buy that for a dollar.  Thanks, does make it more apparent.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

I don't expect us to beat the Sharks but the other 4 are definitely winnable if the team shows up to play.

Cool, thanks Zee!

mirtle: Leafs have two regulation wins in their last 12 games, one over Buffalo, the other over the Islanders. This has been one ugly month.

Haven't won a game on the road since October!

I know there's no particular justification for this, but an optimist might say we've managed to keep afloat through an entire month of really poor play, and that all we need to do is to ... play like we haven't really played so far this year.

They haven't really managed to stay afloat, though. They're just sinking slowly, for now. At the beginning of the month, they were 1st in the conference. Now, they're clinging to the 2nd wild card.

With a very, very difficult December ahead of us.

Yup. I thought the schedule looked pretty easy through the first month. Only contenders in the bunch were Chicago, Boston, and Pittsburgh x 2, and the team has historically done pretty well against the Penguins. December looks tougher:

SJS
DAL
@OTT
BOS
LAK
@STL
CHI
@PIT
FLA
PHX
DET
@NYR
BUF
CAR

I don't think they will, but they could easily lose those first 8 games.

 

[bustaheims]

The Ottawa game is a coin flip, with the way the Sens are playing. The other 7 though, yeah, with what we've seen from the Leafs of late, they'd be the underdogs.

 

[Beowulf]

I suppose the only positive of that December schedule is 10 of 14 of the games are at home and only two back to backs, but otherwise yikes - some really tough teams there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

We play 7 of the top 10 teams based on points right now in December. And 5 of them in a row.

I expect very little, if November was bad month, December can be a real disaster. At this stage and with the way Leafs play, any point would be great.
