Let's do dis!

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

wooo, so excited.

 

[rojac]

I can only assume that he'll be doing radio for FAN 590 as well.

My guess is that either Babcock or Shanahan or both will be on Hockey Central at Noon.

 

[Loosie]

Macko and Cauz are expecting many dumb questions....ha!

 

[diceman934]

For the people who are worry about Babcock and the Media.....his give a poop meter is very low on what people think of him...he simply marches to his own beat!

Babcock will be on TSN 1050 after the presser, can't remember the time, and Shanahan will be on at 4 with Dave Naylor

Watching Philly vs Toronto from a little ways back on the stream while I wait for the Babcock presser. Team has no structure. It's just rush and shoot, rush and shoot. Poor coverage defensively. Can't hold onto a lead. Rush and shoot, rush and shoot.

Thank God those days are coming to an end.

Rush, and shoot. Rush, and shoot.

 

[SprDaVE]

TSN guys are on full tilt haha

 

[Mystifo]

Well I know what I am doing today. ALL THE PRESSERS!!!!

I hope so, but even "marching to his own beat" won't save him from criticism and firing. I guarantee that the media will be all over him with more than a 2 game losing streak, face it the media in Toronto are irrational, there's too much history to deny it.

when I saw they won, I was like, hey what wizardry, voodoo and bull-poop is this?

I hope we can get Boucher/Maclean as the assistants.

Imagine - Babcock, Boucher, Maclean, Keefe (AHL)

 

[Loosie]

Something to keep in mind. in 20 season of coaching (Junior, AHL and NHL) Babcock missed the playoffs three times in total.

Criticism is one thing that nobody can prevent....Firing will not happen for at least 5 years! Shanny is another person who simply does not care as well....Babcock is here for the long haul.

Shanahan confirmed for Hockey Central at Noon. Would expect both to make an appearance on Prime Time Sports this evening

I really do not care who the Assistant coaches are.....Babcock runs the show period! As long as they can teach the game.

that's gonna take a hit for a bit.

A game that should have been won in regulation. However, when you have zero structure or defensive coverage you just end up coughing up leads all the time.

Hoo-boy, here's to a brighter future.

waiting....waiting....waiting


Edit....How far back in the gate area can they push Simmons?

Shorter then most think...I say he wins the Jack Adams within the next 3 years!

Hopefully far enough to push him into a waiting garbage truck to haul him off to the dump.

He runs the show but Assistant coaches do a lot more than you think. Trust me.
