Leafs 2016/2017 Schedule in 10 game chunks

[Zee]

Red makes me sad.

I'm starting to have flashbacks of the 18 wheeler.  This is the first time all season the Leafs have dropped 3 in a row in regulation.

I think this team has a much better makeup than the '18 Wheeler' squad. This is just a normal bump in the road during a long ride that is an NHL season.

Lots of teams have lost 3 in a row in the past, many good teams.

I sincerely hope you guys are right.  The way they've lost the last 2 games has been ugly.  If they don't bounce back on Saturday night against the Bruins, full panic mode will start to set in.

Not panicking yet.  Not even fretting yet about that possibility.  I have every confidence that they'll turn the tide and have themselves a strong game.

Besides, Babcock is too smart a coach to let his team meander under a slump for too long.  Even should the Leafs lose again, it'll be with a much better effort.

They've got the next chunk of games to start afresh.

Just wanted to add, since most of their next games are on home ice, that alone will be a boost for them.

Well, 5-4-1 for the chunk, exactly the same as the second chunk of the season.  Not the greatest 10 games but still at around .500.  Hopefully Leafs can get at least 6 wins in the next 10.

Hoping I get to write Andersen's name in the MoTM or HM columns after this game.  Will mean the Leafs crease is under control again.

Well, orange is better than red.

Totally would have gone with "Orange you glad it's not red?"

 

[hockeyfan1]

I see this chunk as being winnable (better than. 500).  An abundant of home games, should give them the impetus to beat teams they may not have done well against traditionally.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Damn, that is good.  I'm not that puny of a guy.

This thread has gone off the rails.

Ca-ca poo-poo.

Babcock should have changed the slogan 5 games ago.

Also get rid of Polak and Hunwick, that should be a slogan too.

It's already been taken by herman as a mission statement.
