Canucks @ Leafs - Nov. 14th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Don't look now, but if they steal one in the Garden tomorrow night it will be 4 straight against legit teams.

Vancouver has 7 wins in 17 games coming into tonight. I'm not sure they're a "legit" team. They're a "we've gotten to OT in half our losses" team.

And Reimer's GAA/SV% improves thanks to an overturned goal on the offside.  Maybe the Leafs should actually play defense and not let Vrabata get a shot like that.

Leafs won three challenges tonight.

Ahhh, they're legit I think.  Parse it as you will, it would still be impressive.

Game was ok.

Reimer proves again he is #1

We rule BTW...

Maybe Vancouver should stay onside.

Had to say it.

I guess that depends on your definition of legit.. Vancouver has 19 points in 18 games and sit 6th in the conference...

I'm not sure this is pro or negative Vancouver. 19 points in 18 games gives him a .528 winning percentage. That would give them 87 points at the end of the year. That's not legit, right?

I'd say a "legit" team should have won at least half their games. Vancouver is a bubble team. The way thing sit right now, a San Jose OT loss would push them out of the playoffs. Legit teams don't get pushed out of the playoffs by other teams losing.

 

[ZBBM]

I think what we have here is a disagreement about what level of bubbliness constitutes legitimacy equivalence. Is it a legitimate disagreement?  Or just bad tempers bubbling over?  That, I cannot say.

A "legit" team should at least be one on pace to make the playoffs. But I mean, sure. They're a "legit" team in the sense that they exist.
