The second point in the Columbus notes? Wasn't seeing it on my end but I broke that point into two if that helps.

After seeing Babcock use him to finish the game the other day it pretty much convinced me that he's the preferred 6D. Carrick might come into the line-up here and there to stay fresh but once playoffs rolls around Polak will be the go-to option (unless a trade brings someone else in).

That's my hope.  If he doesn't want to use Carrick, I hope the Leafs can acquire someone who is a Polak upgrade that  Babcock actually likes.

It was in solidarity with Dubinsky and Bobrovsky but fine whatever.

Remember the audacity of Rick Nash resigning in CLB? He was to supposed to come to TOR as UFA. I am still mad at him and CLB...

I don't know how audacious it was considering how bad the Leafs were at the time, they were in the midst of missing the playoffs for a million years in a row.

The Leafs are entitled to first dibs on every upcoming UFA didn't you know that?

Oh I know, and if Tavares doesn't sign here I'm gonna blame some of the people on this forum.

I heard he's already signed, they just can't announce it until July.

It's too bad that Babcock can't wrap his mind around the fact that Carrick is already a significant upgrade over Polak by pretty much any metric.

Jinxes?  Ha.

When was the last time the Leafs swept a 5-game home stand?
