Old Ironmaker Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 227 pages and the league just started last week. Who is the front runner early season to take that cup of Stan's?
AKRISONER Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Just saw a stat leafs are a .500 hockey team since December 1st 2018...I’ve always stood up for babcock but it may be time for a change
chris.brock Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 I'm pissed off. When it's 7-3 in the 3rd, I want my bruisers out there running guys causing chaos. We have no such bruisers.
misfish Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 I know it,s way to early BUT, We have the guys, something is wrong?????????????????????? Players still pissed about what salary's were given ?

He sure isn't playing like a number one goalie! HH
jimmer Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Not giving us much to cheer about when they put out a stinker like that. I have been hearing the Babcock theory quite a bit lately from a friend. He gets pretty worked up about that coach.
mikeh Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Leafs need someone to stand infront of the goalie to block his vision, Hyman can do it , johnsson has been trying but i think he is too small, they need another player willing to do it. Muzzin almost took someone out with his shot from the point, about head level can end a players career, i hope they address it with him
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Posted October 11, 2019 Pretty sad effort last night, especially after the excellent game against the Blues.

HH I did a double take when he said it, and then he said it again when Ron questioned him on the comment. This was right after he said the Leafs wouldn't get past the second round because they weren't tough enough.

Oggie Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 Watch the body language on the bench when Babcock is talking. I like him as a coach and a person but his time is over in Toronto. He's used all the one liners, jokes, motivational speeches ...etc. If they aren't in first place by Dec 1st I''ll predict we'll be watching Sheldon Keefe before Christmas. 1
mikeh Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 There is a new guy handling the defense this year, it takes time to gel. After 20 games lets see how they are doing. I read somewhere a few teams were scounting Buffalo for Ristolinen, just what the Leafs need, a big tough defenseman

Old Ironmaker Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 The last fight in the video above was a not too bad of a Hockey fight like I remember. The 1st few not so much a fight as a poor attempt at Jiu Jitsu.
mikeh Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I don't think many players out work Kerfoot on the Leafs except for Moore, those two guys hustle all the time. also noticed a couple of nice slapshots from the point, one from Reilly and the other from Barrie 👍 Edited October 13, 2019 by mikeh Wrong word
glen Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Leafs Looked good today. Seems they have cut back on the bad penalties. And defensive goof ups. Nice to watch
Oggie Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 I liked the way the Wings hit the first two lines. The high priced players need to get hit a little. They don't finish a check EVER so it's nice to see them receive a little physicality. I keep hoping they'll learn something or at least start to play with a little edge. Can't imagine Babcock enjoys the noncontact hockey out of the first two lines given the style he coached in Detroit.

Take a lump or 2,but at least show their not going to get man handled. They all need to play with a chip on their shoulders IMO. Edited October 13, 2019 by misfish
grimsbylander Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 It seems some of you are slowly coming over to the Chris and Grimsby camp!!! Lol We only need grit when we play gritty teams and they just happen to be the best teams.

Recognize him from Horton's commercials. Gotta go, NFL is on.
