Tank Nation: Matthews Edition

[LuncheonMeat]

I had to go to page 5 for this one, but for good reason. With a Columbus victory tonight the Leafs will have sole possession of last place. And still have a ROW of 7. Hello Auston Matthews!

Speaking of Columbus, Clarkson is only outscoring Nathan Horton by 1 point since the trade.

I'm surprised, I thought Horton was better than that.

In fairness to Horton, Clarkson has played 13 more games. ;D

 

[Kaberle15]

Leafs have 4 games in hand over Columbos  :'(

Hopefully the Pens make the Playoffs and get eliminated in the 1st round. Also would be nice to have another pick in the top 10, so they could take a run on Alex Nylander.

With Bernier back, It is a sure loss.

I couldn't really figure out a thread to put this in ( I dunno, like a general Leaf page or something ) but had to crow, my sister is the best, platinum tickets behind home net against the Rags Feb 18 for Christmas, yeah.

So this can't be part of the tank, sorry.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

That's awesome Tigger, I hope they smack Lundqvist around for you.

Buffalo and Edmonton are making a push to get out of the basement tonight! With the injury to JVR, the looming trade deadline, and the imminent return of The Chosen One 2.0, I really starting to get a feeling the season finishes:

29. Leafs
30. David Clarkson

 

[Jolly good show chaps]

Get well soon Sergei Bobrovsky.

Points since Dec. 2nd (via @AndrewBerkshire)

1) LOL Montreal
2) Leafs are still keeping pace with Buffalo and Columbus, while Edmonton's picking up points before McDavid's return

I knew they weren't playing well but holy shit that's bad! Also, come on Pens!! We need our pick! And surprising to see the Rags so low.

Pittsburgh is 6-2-4 in their last 12, so they're heating up. And good-Crosby is back, he has 17 points in his last 13 games. I'm confident they'll get in.

 

[Highlander]

Good news on Pittsburg, lets hope they can keep it going.

I sure hope the Habs don't get into the lottery mix.  Don't want them to magically get Matthews.

It's astounding to me that they haven't fired Therien.  There are still a lot of talented players on that team and they are playing so tentative now.  It's not a good team without Price but he's the kind of goalie that can carry an 8th seed.  Get rid of the coach before it's too late.

Nooooooo Habs don't do that!

They're 14-19-4 since going 9-0.  That 9-0 start was difficult to endure, though it has made their present circumstances all the more enjoyable.

They're not a good team with Price, either. But, he's good enough to keep them in a playoff spot, and out of the lottery - which is all I care about. I don't think there's enough support for him to win more than a round or two, depending on who they get matched up with.

 

[Highlander]

When will the Price be (all) right?  We need him back

I hear Ron Wilson is looking for a job. I would love to see him deal with the Montreal press.
