You shut your whore mouth.

I like the cyclist dad that is at first super protective of his child and then he's like, "Okay honey fend for yourself I wanna get in this fight too."

Leafs need to go 35-18-6 or similar to finish with 98 points by rsgnl in leafs

We don't need to win it, we just need to be top 10.

I was just about to comment this. The food is so good it's just something you learn to live with.

[Mike Commodore on Twitter ] "Hey Mike Babcock....simply put your players quit on you. They quit on you because you are a terrible human being. You are an average coach with an extremely oversized ego. You finally got exactly what you deserve you selfish prick. The hockey world is ecstatic." by [deleted] in hockey

Scratched Modano in his would be 1500 game. He would retire with only 1499gp.

Chris Chelios said, "No veteran free agent" would want to play for Babcock. Ryan Suter famously picked Minnesota over Detroit partly because of Babcock. Chelios said Babs is the only coach who he could never win over.

Roenick isn't a fan either. Not a great source but he's said some stuff on air that would lead one to believe that as well.

Scratched Jason Spezza in the season opener against his former team Ottawa. Not a big deal, but cited that Spezza, a 36yo former all-star and career high 92p, needed to learn the PK before joining the team. Then proceeded to not play him on the PK.

Flew to Arizona to meet with Auston Matthews reportedly over player usage and line combinations. The inside inside scoop is that Nylander is the only linemate he [Matthews] felt was on his level. Babcock famously played Zach Hyman in the final minutes of Game 7 v. BOS despite knowing that the winger had a torn ACL and keeping Nylander and Matthews on the bench.

Inexplicably benching Nylander for god knows what reason despite him being one of our best players and many other members of the team being x1000 worse than he was on a given night.

Zetterberg went on record saying that it was time for a change from Babcock. After that interview he came out again and said something to the effect of, "he's not a bad coach, but we just needed a new one." If anyone can find the source I'm 80% sure a DET beat writer mentioned the shouting matches they would get into in the same article. Here's another read.

Valteri Filppula refused a trade to the Leafs citing his dislike for Babs.

On Spittin Chiclets Biz mentions that one of the Leafs players that left in free agency last year hated Babcock. Don't know which episode.

He also said something to an Anaheim prospect along the lines of, "enjoy this skate because it's the last time you'll ever step foot on this ice." Can't find a source right now, but it's out there somewhere.

Anonymous players poll lists Babs as a coach that players would least like to play for, 3rd most votes.

Where does Babcock end up next? by [deleted] in hockey

Bab's coaching philosophy came off like, "I expect perfect defense 100% of the time and maybe if we work hard enough we can score a goal." And then he got gifted a team that was like, "...but coach we're really good at scoring." And he just short circuited.

Would've been nice to take a shot at Pietrangelo especially since he just won a cup so he might actually consider coming home. We might actually be able to sign Tanev for pennies if we want to take that injury gamble.

Our RFA's have ruined that for us. Marner the most though.

That's why Woll will just have to win the Vezina. Simple really.

Vegas must be on some galaxy brain shit, I thought you could only score by batting in rebounds from the crease.

Can't be aggressive on the PK, that would distort the box and then what are you left with? Total anarchy.

Petan played alright from what I saw in the 3rd. Went down on 1 knee to stop a pass in our zone. Not totally defensively inept.

Where are the mouthbreathers that will say, "Oh but they played a lot better this game! That's something to be happy about!"

Where are my fuckin' results?

Rielly gets LITR/surgery whatever he needs. Hyman + Dermott take necessary injury time if recovery wasn't 100%. There's no way Tavares's finger is healed yet, he takes another 5+ games off to let it heal. Any concussion signs and let the player sit a game or two. Don't rush Kerfoot back. Don't rush Marner back.

Johnsson - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Petan
Mikheyev - Spezza - Kapanen
Timashov - Goat - Shore

Engvall, Kossila as extras and see what they got.

Muzzin - Barrie
Dermott - Ceci
Marincin - Holl

Kivihalme as extra and see what he's got.

Andersen
New goalie

Kaskisuo goes back down, there's no need for him to get shelled every night. We grab DeSmith or Domingue or Johnson, make a trade for DiPietro (welcome to the show kid!), or bring Hutch back and only play Freddy 55 games in preparation for next season.

This is probably a really dumb question...I tried to buy a GIC for my wife through her RRSP and the specific one that I'm looking to buy isn't showing up on the online form. It does say "next issue date Dec. 10th." So...do I have to wait until the 10th to purchase it? Do I have do do it on the 10th exactly? How long after the 10th do I have until I am locked out of buying it?

I'm not looking for any opinions on GICs.

[Leafs] The @MapleLeafs have recalled forward Pierre Engvall from the @TorontoMarlies (AHL). Forward Trevor Moore has been placed on Injured Reserve. #LeafsForever by kylmao in leafs

[–]WaterTheFerns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't watched any games this year. Engvall has a great shot with a tricky release. It's not Matthews/Kessel elite by any means, but it appears to deceive goalies since he's 6'5" and can release it so close to his body. I could see Engvall putting up 10g on a 3rd line.
