Capitals @ Leafs - Nov. 25th. 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

People tonight seem to want to have Babcock on a skewer but it's not his fault that Nylander and Marner have both dried up like old prunes this season.  The classic sophomore slumps.

A couple of kids on pace for over 50 points are soft targets.

A coach making questionable lineup decisions almost every game is not.

The coach is always the softest target.  Even if he's 15-9-1, I guess (as it looks to be).

So the young players get the blame when things go poorly, but the coach gets the credit for a good record?

Cool story.

Says the guy who wants to blame the coach for everything.

Hot take.

There's a ray of hope.  Gardiner!

 

[Al14]

Gardiner scores!  3-1 Caps!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Woohoo Babcock!

 

[ZBBM]

Zaitsev redeems himself!!

 

[Al14]

Zaitsev scores!  3-2 Caps!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nice goal! I bet Zaitsev isn't a Putin-puppet!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

I guess beatings were administered during the intermission.

 

[ZBBM]

Nice goal! I bet Zaitsev isn't a Putin-puppet!

He Putin-talked the Caps bench after he scored -- HA.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.  Don't give them life.

Imagine the Leafs always played like this.

 

[rdowdall]

Imagine the Leafs always played like this.

What do you mean, they do always play this way.

Oh wait, you mean just the third period.

 

[ZBBM]

Even when he's not scoring Matthews is unreal.

Even when he's not scoring Matthews is unreal.

I was just about to write a post saying his skillset is amazing. I'm always shaking my head (in a good way, of course) when he has the puck.
