BillM Posted October 22, 2019 Report Posted October 22, 2019 What was the call on Marner? A slash? in OT? That ref should be sent down to ref minor hockey.

mikeh Posted October 24, 2019 Report Posted October 24, 2019 I wish Babcock would get Frédérick Gauthier to watch some highlights of Lindros and his physical play, i heard Gauthier was called 'the gentile giant'. It would be nice if babcock could send him out after someone hits one of his 11 million dollar players and delivers a big bodycheck.

Everytime the Goat is on the ice I'm praying he uses that 6'5 frame and obliterates a D man into the boards while in the offensive zone.
chris.brock Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 I'm still not a fan of him at all, and I don't know how he kept his job after last season, but the goat has looked better this season can't they medicate him with angry pills or something
mikeh Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 Big game for the Leafs tonight , another back to back game, i hope as soon as Gallagher runs the goalie or falls into him the Leafs do the same.go leafs go

Hell I'd settle for 50%.
scuro2 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 Big guys have an advantage in reach and in scrums. I've seen him being testy.

Lol He said he was the most polite kid ever...until he stepped on the ice. Lets get the big man a couple thumb tacks!!!
grimsbylander Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Since when is dropping your gloves and throwing a punch not a penalty?
chris.brock Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 thank Christ Hughson or bob cole isn't commentating tonight, but these clowns are no better, gallie and yes man guy I'm watching on SN1hd, know our audience, this is disgusting, I don't want to hear all this pro habs, habs are so great crap
chris.brock Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 I think they know better, but if 1 scab fan says anything at work Monday morning, I'm darn ready to throw fists, I'm darn pissed I think babs has got to go sooner than later, like akri said we need a new face, a young guy who relates to the young players and a guy that respects toughness and wants some hammerheads on the team to have the backs of the skilled creampuff guys

misfish Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Hutch had a great 2nd period. 13 hours ago, chris.brock said: I think babs has got to go sooner than later, like akri said I have to agree Chris. There is something rotten in that room. Just look at the players faces on the bench. They are not happy. No talking on the bench. Babs just looks down and mudders to himself. Did you catch when he had something to say to the assistant coach. The coach just looked forward like ,screw off. If this is THE TEAM, to get to the cup, they better do something. NOW

Right away Tkachuk goes over and has a little chat. Later Brady made sure he finished good and hard on a Karlsson hit. Message sent. As a Sens fan and an old time hockey guy I'm loving the fact that our top line winger is tough as nails just like the rest of his family and has no problem backing it up. He's getting real good on face offs too, they're not shy to use him on his strong side. In fact he set the family record tonight for fewest games to 25 goals, beating out his old man by 5 games. That is huge bragging rights in that household... Cheers 1

He is a die hard leaf fan. I am so sick of him propping up the leafs with more powerful adjectives than what he says about the opposing team. The guy is a clown.

That is huge bragging rights in that household... Cheers I watched the games as well and THAT was a great game. Gritty and super competitive. The Leafs have built the perfect replica to the 2010 era Oilers....young, highly skilled, and zero toughness. We all know how that played out. I'm not convinced this is a Babcock issue quite yet. He plays the cards he gets dealt by Dubas/Shanahan and they are open about skill over toughness. The Red Wings teams under Babcock were not exactly powderpuffs. It's all about balance.
smitty55 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 So one of the guys on TSN1200 was in Toronto for the weekend. Went out to a restaurant Saturday night. One big tv on the wall and it's the Raptors game on, no volume, not the leafs game. Later he goes to a bar with some big screens and small. All the big screens were carrying the Raptors game volume up and the small screens had the leafs game with no sound. It wasn't that long ago a bar in TO wouldn't dream of playing basketball over hockey. Goes to show what a championship season will do to a city's fan base. Cheers 1

Cheers You have to remember it was in the urban metroculture of Toronto , probably soccer would be bigger than hockey there as well.

I guess we're just both biased, delusional fans, lol I know he lives in Vancouver. I'd swear he hates the Leafs. The BOS/ TOR games are the worst IMO, I'd swear he has romantic feelings for Bergeron. Seems like a nice, polite, decent, family guy, but damn, I wish Bowen was back on TV

I don't know if that's correct Grim. I think Babcock has more input into all aspects of team management than most coaches. His team in Detroit went against the grain and was the 1st team not to have an enforcer, the wings also had very low PIMs compared to the league average when he was coach
BillM Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 It's not even November yet, people really need to slow down and relax. You wanna know where the Bruins or the Blues were this time last year in the standings? A few key guys are on their way back, let's slow down on the fire sale for a bit.
