I like advanced stats and think they have considerable merit, but I don't think anybody can come away with the conclusion that the Leafs dominated last night. In summary, expected goals <<< actual goals :D

There needs to be advanced stats for the coaches - there is no universe the Leafs bench would come out looking good in if those existed.

It's people like that that make people like me not put a lot of stock into advanced stats. When you try to use them to say that a player is obviously bad actually isn't or a team that gets curb stomped actually didn't.

Expected goals - lol. I expect my goalie to give up 15, so when he only gives up 6 HE'S AWESOME

After getting stomped, Toronto decides to piss off the Bruins even more.


It's a bold strategy Cotton...

Can go back to last summer, I have no idea why Tre bothered keeping Keefe. He’s been out coached in literally every playoff series he’s been in.

I don’t know whether this is the case or not but if it is it backfired terribly. The rest of the team didn’t respond and they played their first playoff game without their most consistent playoff performer.
