Monday Afternoon Toronto Maple Leafs: Robertson + News + Standings + Trades

Lyubushkin

Making a bad trade for a player you could get on waivers any day of the week and only getting two periods out of him is classic Leafs.

I'm sorry he was injured (on a play that demands a suspension) but like Nick Foligno and Ryan O'Reilly before him, all you can do is laugh.

What are the odds that every single player the Leafs trade for immidietely gets injured? Something like the odds of losing 11 straight elimination games?

Standings and Stats

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on fire (winning I think 10 of 12 and 9 of 10) but their stats still leave a lot to be desired.

The Leafs are 17th in puck-possession (owing to a blue-line that is bad at moving the puck) and 14th in expected-goals (all stats 5v5 unless otherwise mentioned).

However, if we go back and look at only games from February 1st on the Leafs, while still not a great possession team, are just outside the top-five in Xgoals.
