For the record, I had them 18th myself. But largely it’s because of

A) 80% of the league is so close in the standings rn that their records don’t have that much of an impact on their rankings, and

B) Their chance generation is rated lower than most teams, so that dings them a bit in my model.

Oh for sure, I was mostly just playing off of your Exegol joke

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Hondo Ohnaka cameo yet

Yeah I think with the Leafs he had a bit more skill, and then somehow reverse developed it by not using it well

Kapanen is the epitome of “lots of skill, doesn’t know what to do with it a lot of the time”

I remember hearing the guitar solo in Do the Hippogriff and thinking how weird it sounded and it made perfect sense that it was Johnny

The guitarist is also Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead, which makes so much sense after learning that

Yeah he hasn’t even been good offensively either, I wonder if they ever consider splitting up McCabe and Tanev to give him a shutdown guy to play with

So beside himself he made a reactionary trade

And they also had worse goaltending in both of those seasons (although only by .2% between this year and 2022-23), so the defensive results were more driven by the team and not the goalie like this year
