Lebda4Norris Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 As we all know, the Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a great year. So I thought it would be interesting to predict their placing as well as individual statistics. Let's start off with what we have so far. OPF = on pace for. Reimer OPF 41 ShutoutsKessel OPF 205 pointsPhaneuf OPF Plus -162Komisarek OPF 492 hitsLiles OPF 574 blocked shotsLeafs OPF 82-0Okay, we all know these won't happen. The question is how much will they drop off. Though it would be unreasonable to put Reimer at 42 SOs, it would also be unreasonable to put him below 16, due to his exceptional yet improving play. Phil Kessel won't be approaching Gretzky's best point totals, but he will be most likely finish in the 100-120 range for points. I think it's safe to say Phaneuf will be plus -20, and that Komisarek will be near the top with 200-250 hits, depending on his ice time. Liles is a good bet for around 200 blocked shots, IMO. I think the Toronto Maple Leafs will finish 55-27, and maybe drop down to about 45 wins if injuries happen to hurt them badly. Regardless, it has appeared that Toronto has emerged as a Stanley Cup contender, and this season will be exciting. Feel free to put you own predictions or comment on mine.

ninersdd Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Regardless, it has appeared that Toronto has emerged as a Stanley Cup contender, and this season will be exciting. Seriously? At very best, you guys get the 8th slot, and that is if you guys get very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aci Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm trying to figure out whether your second set of predictions was actually serious, or akin to your first set. I'm leaning towards the latter, judging by the 16 shutouts Reimer is supposedly going to put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Something to keep in mind is that Lebda4Norris is just the Leafs centric willmorris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Do Leafs fans equal Cubs fans? They think there is hope when in all reality, the sports gods have deemed them to never win again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Okay, to get back on track here...My generous prediction for the Leafs is a place.I can logically see them between 8th and 10th. It all depends on how Reimer holds up, if the MacArthur/Kulemin/Grabovski line can continue to produce, and if the special teams can step it up over last year.

thespleenenator Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 There's a thread for this? Really?Well, I might as well play along. My prediction: 98% of the U.S will still not care about the Leafs. I know it's a bit bold, but I'm feelin' lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
