Post-Game Talk: Babcock and "Gud Pros" let Leafs down AGAIN!

[SportsJunkie]

Horrible display of hockey. Our d is being exposed undressed and laughed at.

AGAIN NO FIGHT OR EMOTION at the end. Heck Boston seemed to have more anger while up 7-3...bunch of p***yes we have

 

[frog]

The one player we should all be proud of is hyman. Highlight real goal, and amazing assist today, hustle, work ethic, hits and defense. This guy is a keeper. Playoffs is when we find out guys true colours and this guy is huge steal for toronto.

 

[The CyNick]

Then how do you explain Washington last year?

Save for the 1st period of game 4, they never look out of place or overwhelmed

Washington is built more like us. Hockey is a matchup game. Could be just Boston is a bad match for us.

 

[Daisy Jane]

We should send it to them along with a letter stating how utterly completely disgusted we are.

I really don't know how much more I can handle Daisy.

i can't quit them.
but seriously. something has got to change. a lot of somethings has got to change.

 

[Kiwi]

yeah it would likely turn into a perpetual cycle of mental doom.

booze might be the safer bet

I don't need a raging alcohol problem either though

 

[Galchenioretty]

Maybe because Matthews has been a non factor?

Not a non-factor but he certainly has another gear and you'd like to see it in the playoffs. He'll be better in Toronto but man, Boston is a tough draw for a young C.

 

[Mugzy97]

Guarantee it wouldn't be worse than first 2 games

Pretty good chance it wouldn’t be better either

 

[PromisedLand]

Lou must be thinking why didn't I give these guys an upgrade on defense?

Defense has nothing to do with it. IMO babcock's system has been figured out by Cassidy; and he has been out coached for 60 straight mins. if bruins didn't sit on their lead for a bit in the 2nd and early part of the third period - this game would have been the ugliest game in recent memomry

 

[Dragao6]

Do the Babcock bashers realize he changed up the lines for 40 mins of hockey?

You know why the boston top line is dominating and have for some time now? 3 skilled guys that have been playing together all season...good chemistry!

I was huge nabcock fan at first, ive been highly dissapointed for awhile now.

And Lou....im a big believer but zaitsev proving contract might have been a bad evaluation.
This series showing that well only be a serious contender when hyman brown are 100% on third line and i love both players but in their proper roles

And how we didnt trade ufas for picks still blows my mind

 

[Throw More Waffles]

He had a good regular season but he's a complementary player with nothing to complement right now.

He's far too expensive to be a no show in the playoffs.

 

[Ratboy]

I don't need a raging alcohol problem either though

then buddy did you pick the wrong team hahaha

 

[Mugzy97]

If bruins are so good then why even play; just bend over and hand them the series; its not like the leafs held on to "self rentals" and then offered 2nd round pick and signed two 30 yrs+ old guys in Marleau and Hainsey.....

Babcock for the win. Babcock is the SUPERSTAR! All other coaches and teams are beneath him. It is never Babcock's fault it is always someone else.... woooooooooooooooo

Babcock the Great!

He gets more in one pay check than you do all year. Must be doing something right.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Kessel has 2 Stanley Cups including a Conn Smythe caliber run and is just coming off a 92 point season. Almost like Kessel was a by-product of a terribly flawed team....

While Kessel went on to big things partners in crime JVR and Boak are being clowned by Boston once again....

JVR and Bozak never had an issue with Boston in 2013.
JVR if i recall had a PPG in that series (or close to it) and Bozak was doing well until he tore his tricep.

 

[Nithoniniel]

I don't honestly think anyone was good tonight. Matthews created a lot, but he was as lethargic defensively as anyone else. Marner was pretty decent, but good? I dunno.

I think it was interesting to see who responded with pride, and who checked out. Matthews had pride. So did Gardiner and Johnsson. A whole lot of other players checked out.

How about Marleau? This is year ONE of his outrageous contract.

I actually just thought that Marleau has to be on that list as well.

 

[Elimanator]

I feel like we wasted potential assets by not trading JVR, Bozak, and Komarov. I think we would have made the playoffs anyways because of our stellar depth. Not only that, it wouldn't have mattered as much if we sh*t the bed in the playoffs because we had assets to show for it. Now it just feels bad and that Plekanec deal feels horrible. It never really sat well with me.

But hopefully we turn it on at home and make it a series.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

Anyone have gifs of Shanahan and Lou during the game?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Pointing fingers and blaming one player is ludicrous the team folded like a cheap tent.They scored four goals with no D in sight.

25% does not cut it

 

[Nineteen67]

That's our style. Led us to 105 points and best ever Leafs regular season finish.

Star players forgot to show up in the playoffs. Someone should ask them what's going on, not Babcock.

Maybe also ask the league why non white players get longer suspensions for less violent infractions than white players for more violent attacks.

They easily defend and obviously were ready for it.

Hainsey threw that puck up the middle when he had a perfect passing lane up the boards.

 

[LeafsBoyo]

It took Babcock how many games to get Komorov off of Marleau and Kadri's line? You're only going to be dissapointed if you're expecting logical roster decisions at this point in the season. Terrible D zone breakouts, stretch passes, dump and chase, no puck support. None of these problems are new and they aren't gonna go away now.

 

[Al14]

Leafs in 6.

I'd say yes to that if we had won tonight!

There is no way we win 4 games in a row! NONE!

 

[Nithoniniel]

How about we agreed both the players and coaches are getting curb stomped?

Yeah.

 

[ECanuck]

7 goals on 21 shots.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

3 goals on 4 shots had something to do with that... don't ya think?

Yeup they all add up. You rarely lose games because of one thing.

Terrible defense, terrible starting line combos, and suspect goaltending. When it all adds up you get what we saw tonight.

 

[Superstar]

If bruins are so good then why even play; just bend over and hand them the series; its not like the leafs held on to "self rentals" and then offered 2nd round pick and signed two 30 yrs+ old guys in Marleau and Hainsey.....

Babcock for the win. Babcock is the SUPERSTAR! All other coaches and teams are beneath him. It is never Babcock's fault it is always someone else.... woooooooooooooooo

Babcock the Great!

Obviously you're so awesome you could coach this team of young players to the promiseland...

Freakin' hilarious that 3 years into his tenure with a young team on the rise that somehow folks think he's at the end of his shelf life.

 

[liljegren beast]

Can someone please explain why they ran Hainsey into the ground this season? The guy is gassed out there. Completely befuddling.

Because our defense is attrocious
