Z-Man, love the passion for your Leafs! Although you stated the Habs weaker record over the last 10 games, an important thing you left off, was that the Habs outshot their opponents consistently. Unfortunately Price played some of his weakest hockey in that stretch! That said, when it counted the last 2 crucial games the Habs won!!!
A very important thing you left off about the Leafs in the last 10 games is the matter that their defense has allowed well over a 100 shots more on them than they shot on their opponents!! That is the key and that is where I will commend Reimer as he has been the crucial part of the team over the last 15 or so games not Kessel and if there was a pleasant surprise for the Leafs this season it is Reimer, not Kessel!! Kessel is paid the most by the Leafs to score and lead the Leafs! He was not doing that in the early part of the year, but that is what you pay a sniper for! Reimer has been the unsung hero for the Leafs and probably the biggest reason you guys are in the playoffs as your defense is extremely weak and with Phaneuf as the defender that logs the most time on ice he is your weakest link! Look how many opposition goals are scored when he is on the ice! He is a -4 +/- while the one you mentioned, PK Subban, early in the season would effect the team because he had not signed yet, is +12 +/- and a Norris Trophy candidate, as well as points leaders for defensemen in the NHL and a good old Toronto boy!
If I am correct a game last week that the Leafs beat Ottawa 4-1, and Ottawa had 50 shots on net! Reimer has done an exceptional job, but that defensive flaw is what will be the teams downfall! Yes the Leafs can score and that is not the issue, it is those turnovers and shots on net that will have the Leafs gone in the first round, unless they can reduce their shots allowed! Look at that key turnover in last nights game by Kessel to cause the 3rd goal!
Now Z-Man, this in no way is an attack at you, and I know you will never take it as that, unlike others on this board who get their backs up when someone says BOO about the Leafs! I am just glad to see the Habs finish 2nd overall in the Eastern Conference considering they were in Last Place in the Eastern Conference a year ago! Says a lot for the Habs team and management and the Leafs for folding under the spotlight last night and helping the Habs move to 2nd!
