I saw our saviour outside of the ACC today with a couple other people. Pretty sure one of them was Mark Hunter. Didn't recognize the other.

So far he has been a big disappointment. It has been over a week and he has done nothing of significance.

I kid of course.... stay the course team... trade the core, draft, develop, etc.

****, in that video when Babcock is walking and stops to look at the 1967 Cup picture literally gave me ****ing chills

i know, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if he asks Tannenbaum for it, and he'll put it on his condo wall going. "I am gonna use you as motivation each and every morning." (but he'll say it all Babcockian so it will be even cooler)

Bunch of ****ing ********** at sportsnet.

I saw the first link was by Feschuk so I knew it'd be bad right off the bat. What a poor attempt at humour.

**** this quote from Brunt as well.

As much as the fans and ownership might endorse it in theory, what they’d really prefer is a relatively quick fix and return to the playoffs—the kind of thing Burke tried to pull off when he dealt for Kessel and Dion Phaneuf.

Please, don't speak for us. I'm sure the majority of people want it just done right this time, regardless of how long it takes.

Sportsnet is becoming a worse version of the Toronto Sun.

Been following this team since 1969. I will stick with cautious optimism. I have experienced too many disappointments to feel otherwise.

I saw him going for a run yesterday at Bay and Harbour St.

Mike Babcock appears to have his eyes on an old assistant coach.

The freshly-minted head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs has reached out to Tony Granato, who served as Babcock's assistant last season with the Detroit Red Wings, according to Damien Cox of Sportsnet.

The Red Wings, however, are reportedly interested in retaining Granato's services.

that's interesting with assistant coaches. I wonder how if Granto wants to go what happens there.

 

[hockeywiz542]

Mike Babcock is the most marketable coach in the country's biggest market and corporate Canada is already lining up. That's Hockey discusses what the Maple Leafs new coach has been up to since signing with Toronto.

I'd happily give up a 7th round pick to give Babs his staff.

I really hope that scenario doesn't require another pick compensation

It doesn't. Only management that's taking a GM or Head Coach job.

Did he look like Futa?

Seems to be some stuff going on down there. Ahh, maybe just some draft pre-planning.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

Lupul scores!

NOT ONE SINGLE goal FROM HIM IN 2015? iS THIS TRUE?

 

[shelf]

He scored 1 near the end of the season, but Eric Brewer had more points with the Leafs in 2015 than Lupul did.

I wouldn't with how our 7th rounders have been turning out lately, lol.
