Leafs 2014/2015 Schedule in 10 game chunks

[Zee]

Second 10 fast approaching...

 

[Stickytape]

Nice work adjusting to the rescheduled game; the chunks look nice. ^__^

That second chunk has some tough competition, too.

Yeah, that rescheduled game makes it a tough weekend of back to back and 3 games in 4 nights.

5 back-to-backs in the first 20 games seems like a lot.

And 10 games in 20 nights to start the month... pretty tough sledding.

My prediction for the first ten wasnt off by much.

5-3-2

for the next 10

 

[Highlander]

I was at 6-4 spotty on.

 

[Zee]

Don't look now but there's a 3 game win streak

[Highlander]

I will go with 6-4 again.

Next 2 games are tough

 

[Kessel Run]

Leafs are downright awful vs the Bruins. Despite the wins, they're going to have to lock down their defensive game for the next couple.

 

[Highlander]

Oh No the killer B'ss

4 of the next 5 are very difficult games. Boston obviously is always a tough opponent for the Leafs, and Pittsburgh's offence can really make the Leaf's defence look bad. Tampa is leading the league in total goals for as of today (2nd in G/g) and have the 2nd best point % in the league (trailing only Pittsburgh), while Nashville is leading their division with the 2nd best record in the West (in terms of P%), and have been a very stingy, defensive team (tied for 3rd best GA/g).

3 of the next 5 games are against teams in the top 4 in P%. It could be some real tough sledding for the Leafs here.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Hopefully Pittsburgh's ridiculous SH% starts dropping.

The schedule is so odd.  Last night's game obviously wasn't originally scheduled, so the Leafs would've played Saturday, not played again until Wednesday and then have another back-to-back Friday/Saturday.  As it ended up they added another back-to-back.

I just want them to come out and play the Bruins. I hate them with such a passion. I want destruction.

I don't expect a whitewash from Boston or Pittsburgh.  One of these two games, the Leafs will play tight.  Our goaltenders will need to be at their best to guard the net.
Basically, the rest of the schedule is against teams that are physical (Nashville) and Tampa Bay (speedy).  Both have good netminding which won't be easy to crack, so to speak.  With the type of offence the Leafs are capable of generating, expect a workout for some of these goalkeepers.

Only Buffalo is the weak team and the Leafs have beaten the Sabres on their home ice this year.

Solid netminding, speedy offence, physical hockey, tough defence, that's what the Leafs will be up against in these next four to five games.  Not that they haven't seen this before.
