GDT: Leafs(8-6-0) vs Blues(10-3-1)

[MJ65]

well they are coming back

Too late I guess - why they have sleep for 2 and a half periods

 

[Walshy7]

Benched for god knows why.

For not playing great but by no means close to worst leaf tonight. I am convinced Babcock just doesn’t like him, marner never sat this long after his punishment

 

[LeafsMonster]

Willy and kap haven't played in a while...

 

[MarMarSab3]

Babcock is such a tool

 

[Cleetus]

Why are they trying to make excuses for Hyman? Oh he had 5 things on his mind. No he should have 1 thing on his mind. Get control of the puck and give it to someone who can finish.

Jim Hughson likes that Hyman is with Matthews so every team beats us, he is a tool, same with Simpson he is a joke Wendal was a million times the player he was!

 

[Budsfan]

Good news is that Bozak looks great.

Bad news is that we are playing so terribly it makes Bozak look great.

Or everyone else is not great.

 

[Pi]

Someone in the media better ask why Babcock didn't challenge that goal or why he didn't bother showing up tonight to coach.

 

[Walshy7]

Martin Nylander Marner

Make it so, Babspock

No because he has given up for tonight now we are close him playing Willy and marner more will make him look bad

 

[canadon]

It wouldn't be 5-4. Would have been a completely different sequence of events after the challenge. I agree Babcock should have challenged that goal though.

 

[Confucius]

Wonder what Babcock is thinking now...

 

[LondonKendrick]

Doubt Babcock thought it was a bad goal, the entire coaching staff failed this one.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Matthews on a 2 on 1

Looks over and it’s hyman

Has no choice but to pass it to him

Play dies

 

[thewave]

Was he hurt?

If his mom and dad are watching, probably.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Was he hurt?

No. Babcock thinks this is his fault.

 

[fahad203]

as Gallabi pointed out - because it could be argued as a followthrough/accidental contact the challenge may not have gone through as goalie interference.

He can always challenge it, maybe he'll get lucky. That was a follow through but a physical contact none the less, especially right to the head

 

[bobermay]

Enough complaining about the non-challenge guys... Babcock shouldn't have been put in that position, and the refs should have seen it and called it on the spot...

 

[jrgtml67]

Oh ya? so that line has looked great since being put together earlier this week, he does his job well apparently you are one who thinks everyone has to score or put points up...tonight he gets rewarded for tough play

 

[The CyNick]

Benched for god knows why.

15 mins, 0pts, 0 SOG, dash 2

 

[Leafs at Knight]

At least we showed up for half a a game this time, not just one period.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Someone in the media better ask why Babcock didn't challenge that goal or why he didn't bother showing up tonight to coach.

Why is he benching Willy but keeps playing Komarov.

 

[CyBorgman]

as Gallabi pointed out - because it could be argued as a followthrough/accidental contact the challenge may not have gone through as goalie interference.

No it can't, the goalie is in the crease you can't hit him in the head with your stick. Following through on a shot is meaningless if you don't hit the puck anyways.

 

[Mats13]

Send Andersen to the island
Get Pickard
Put in Dermott and Aalto

Calvin Pickard has a 0.892 sv%... in the AHL

You guys need to f*** off with this bullshit

 

[htpwn]

as Gallabi pointed out - because it could be argued as a followthrough/accidental contact the challenge may not have gone through as goalie interference.

It doesn't matter. Incidental contact is enough -- Andersen has to be able to make the save and in this case, he clearly was prevented from doing so.

 

[Daisy Jane]

that's not how goalie interference works. It doesn't have to be intentional for a goal to be waived off

i know it doesn't have to be intentional. but are you honestly sitting there and going to say the video coach, Hiller, Smith and Babcock didn't think of all options before not challenging? something must have been said (or seen) that made them not to do so.

 

[Trapper]

People can argue about the goal challenge or the Hyman wiff but the fact remains...we give up far too many goals. Far, far too many.
All the above isn't changing that fact. Moves need to be made to get us more structure.

 

[yubbers]

Maybe Babs gets cash bonuses for unused time outs in his contact
