Those that get bent out of shape over Hughson & Romanuk?
They're both not good, but not nearly as bad as people on this board make them out to be. This place is special.

This is a classic Leafs letdown game- mid week, coming off a huge victory, against a team we SHOULD beat...let's see if the boys can break the trend
Hanta Yo! Now that Dion's out of our division, the boys will be breathing a sigh of relief. They should feel ten feet tall!

right. however should we not win, i'd like a point. should we lose gaining the point will also help gain ground. in a game vs. CBJ, i'd like at least one point, and no injuries.
Romanuk is awful.
Hughson is good at what he does with the exception of being upset when things are going well for the Leafs.

I just want a good game. Pond hockey. 5 points for each of Matthews, Nylander and Marner. Jake with 6 assists. A 7 to 6 game. Hell, I'll be watching HGTV with the wife for Valentines day anyways....

I agree with Gary here, the expectation should be 2 points as this game is very winnable. It doesn't hurt that the team's confidence is high right now.

that's okay.
i'm just being consistent.
division games, i always want 2 regulation points.
interconference ideally the 2, but get one and worry about the other one however. (and vs. CBJ, do not get hurt).
outer conference, just get the point.

I'm setting the bar high. The goal is to win every night, period. We won't win every night of course, but that should be the goal. Whatever though, it's not as if what we think matters anyway.
I don't think they are great announcers but what bothers me is that even when it's a regional Leafs game they don't seem to cheer for the Leafs. I don't need a huge homer but they need to at least feign enthusiasm for the Leafs.

of course Polak is back. Columbus has the worst PP in the league so I wonder what the reasoning is this time

It's not always like that. Only Wednsday, Saturday, Sunday are guaranteed SN. The other days they can mix and match. We've see a few games on TSN on Thursdays because of the NFL season. We've seen Mondays and Tuesdays on SN as well. They mix and match.

yes, and now he's back in the lineup rather than rotating with Carrick like he should be
They can still be rotating but it doesn't have to be every single game...

well if Polak is in for his PK ability (which makes no sense) and he just got dominated at ES against weak competition, what better game to take him out than this one?
*Babcock after win with Carrick* "Ah you know, gotta keep the rotation, keep them both hungry"
*Babcock after win with Polak* "Ah you know, the team is winning, so don't try to fix what is working"

Should be?
Haven't seen the lineup but it wouldn't be a surprise if it's the same one as against Tampa, no reason to change.

well one reason could be that Dermott-Polak was by far our weakest pair at 5v5. Another reason could be we don't need Polak for his PKing against the league's worst PP, like I said

The BJ's are an aggressive and somewhat dirty team, beat them with our speed and get in their faces to draw them into stupid penalties.

Hughson is a good commentator it's just so obvious and apparent at times that he doesn't like the Leafs, he doesn't even try to hide it. The guy is from BC and was the Vancouver Canucks regional play by play on both the radio and TV for yearssssss so I think it's obvious where his loyalties lie. His calls get less enthusiastic and lackluster when the Leafs are winning games, especially his call on our overtime win in Game 2 vs the Caps it was one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. "Fewer things are better than a Saturday night victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs" after we lost to the Canucks back in December is also another gem from him. Douchebag.

Well he's in so perhaps your reasons aren't as important as you think they are..
