Post-Game Talk: 2016-01-15: Hawks versus Leafs

[zac]

"Panarin passes to Kane.....SCORES" x 3

Lmao.

 

[garce]

May our scouting rival Chicagos

the end.

Most importantly being able to part with very, very good second tier players when the time comes the way the Hawks have.

Grabner continues to be absolute ****. Makes everyone he plays with look worse. Can't wait for him to be traded or moved off the Kadri-Komarov line.

The play tends to die on his stick

Did the Leafs sign an agreement with Staples?

And then replace them with more very good supplementary players.

well that's what i mean

like not all of it is amature scouting. a lot has to do with pro scouting and being able to see what they have + who they have to give up and fill it up with college/unsigned/UFA..

we've got the cap guy
we've got analytics.
i trust hunter for the am

i don't know if he's also in charge of pro scouting too. I know what's his face the one we hated before umm. geeze I can't remember for the life of him.

honestly... Chicago makes me so jealous.

That's the model, they have moved out a all star team, now that Kane and Toews deals have kicked in we will see how sustainable it is.

MLSE is in great hands now. Come on. Outstanding hands. Poor Babcock has to coach these guys till we are great... I guess he wanted out of Detroit to get his hands on this team, and JVR going down gave tank nation extreme hope.

Starts with a sound no-nonsense organizational structure, give Chicago credit, they built the old fashioned way with a few gold picks yes, very good old-school scouting, add the Bowman touch (do not under-estimate this, Scotty's respect is legendary, ripples deep)

For the first time in 15 years (been a fan for over 40, have the babypics with a Leafs jersey to prove it lol), I am confident we are on the right track with a VERY competent Management team top to bottom, VERY real high end talent in the pipeline, and a Top-to-bottom hunger to get better.

This singular game on Jan 15, 2016 means little.

I am more hopeful than I've been in years. Respect is slowly earned. I am ok waiting another few years as long as everyone earns their spot the old fashioned way. So far so good.

holy heck.
that was not what i read at first.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Wait, we're tanking again???

This and this... We should shut down every threat after this post, but hey, we have to keystrokeate...

*gasp*

Daisy.......

I expect that from the boys

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock addresses the media following Toronto's 4-1 loss against Chicago on Friday night.

 

[Cor]

We may never score more than 2 goals until JVR is back

 

[Pholus]

That's the thing. The way this team is constructed, if we outwork a team that's better than us, we can still win. Honestly, Chicago brought it tonight and we still kept it close. If we didn't have that penalty trouble, and if Darling doesn't rob Boyes after Leivo passes it to him on the PP, it's not completely unreasonable to think we could have taken this to OT

Darling robbed a few Leafs tonight, the score could have been much closer. Although Reimer made some A+ saves too, so...

 

[Pholus]

Dave Morrison? He is in charge of pro scouting.

 

[Banic]

The worst contract on the team by a mile, IMO.

2 years left, while Phaneuf's is 5.. Lupul's salary means nothing to us atm. Phaneuf's in 3-4 years however.. No where close to worst contact by a mile - imo.

 

[teeder333*]

Babcock appears two years older already... Its a very tough job answering the medai in Toronto, and BABS failed miserably tonight. The vultures. finally got to him a bit.

First time.

 

[teeder333*]

Just say we have no talent Babs.................

I am failing to find anything wrong with that presser.

Seamed run of the mill to me no? Babs was honest, but didn't seam upset at any one question..

didn't see it at all. Maybe you can provide a timestamp within that video where you think it's clear that Babcock is becoming flustered?

The Panarin signing was incredibly key for them. If they had a guy like Bickell or Shaw on Kane's LW instead, I don't think he (and therefore the team) has nearly the level of success that they're seeing now.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

4 losses in a row

i said yest 5 after boston... then ...............
