Let's go Leafs!

On Monday Babcock was asked if he?ll consider taking a different approach to his game plan in Game 7.

?No. One hundred per cent the opposite of that piece of advice,? he said.

One of the stupiest quotes I have ever read.

This article infurates me.

And as for the penalty kill, according to NHL.com, going back to 1985-86 there?ve been 424 teams whose playoff runs lasted at least six games. Toronto?s 2019 penalty-kill percentage, an embarrassing 56 per cent, ranks 423rd out of 424. The Leafs? 2018 penalty kill ranks 421st. Their 2017 work ranks 407th. Those numbers are Babcock?s numbers.

THREE YEARS IN A ROW!!!! Jesus, adapt you idiot! If Hyman takes a defensive zone PK faceoff, Bab's should be fired mid-game. No one can dispute these facts if Babcock can't make an adjustment after 3 playoffs to the PK he has to go.

This is infuriating but not surprising. Least creative coaching currently in the NHL.

Just win.

 

[ZBBM]

Wow I thought Andersen didn't get over fast enough.

 

[herman]

If Gauthier scores, do the Bruins just fold the franchise?

Hyman with the 2 on 1 pass to the corner of the rink. 

 

[lc9]

Matthews unlucky.  Tukka in the right spot. 

 

[lc9]

Is there a reason Nylander always gives up on the play when he can retrieve the puck? 

 

[Al14]

One and done.  Which team will be done?

 

[disco]

Great pace! This has the makings of a Game 7 classic.

 

[azzurri63]

Hyman with the 2 on 1 pass to the corner of the rink.

Love his compete other than that yikes.

 

[ZBBM]

Things rolling OK so far.  Keep it up lads.

 

[ZBBM]

If Gauthier scores, do the Bruins just fold the franchise?

He needs to drive the net every time he happens to find the puck on his stick in the offensive zone.

I wonder if he'd be a fun left winger to play with John & Mitch next year.

 

[herman]

Marner making a couple of chances happening

Or even Nylander right now

 

[ZBBM]

All right Mitch, looking better.

 

[herman]

Nylander went to the net guys.

I would be perfectly content swapping the #4 wingers with the #3 wingers...think Willy would enjoy the spunk of Moore and Ennis. Just not sure how well they'd do if the Bruins countered with their top line.
