GDT: Game #2: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Detroit Red Wings | Babcock's Return

[moon111]

Funny how the Leafs were always 'The worst team ever', in so many years they didn't get a top 10 draft pick. Now this is what it takes! This is how you get those star players on your team.

My only concern about being this bad is the damage it could do to Rielly's development.

I think sticking him with Marcinin has been pretty god awful.

He needs a legit partner.

Phaneuf or Polak. Take your pick, because they'd be the best we've got for him.

Might as well send him down to the Marlies.

 

[Daisy Jane]

is Larkin seriously comparable to McDavid?

 

[Alerion]

The Detroit broadcast is fawning over Larkin. I can't blame them but they have quite literally been talking about him for 5 minutes straight.

So is Sportsnet.

Should also be concerned that 2nd game into the season (4th coach later) has put Bozak back with JVR.

Well, it's not like the Leafs have given them much to talk about!

The only thing that concerns me....they finish last in the entire league and are rewarded by picking 4th.

Larkin has points in his first game.. McDavid didn't so....

 

[Quiksilver*]

I saw the number 28 and got scared we had orr again lol

Exactly, why would we want anyone with a hint of heart.

Corsi is looking good though.

 

[Hurt]

More Larkin talk. It's still going on. Holy snap.

 

[Cor]

It's understandable that the Red Wings broadcast would be talking about Larkin. Why wouldn't they?

Rogers is supposed to be the National Broadcaster, and should be neutral based. That's why they took Joe Bowen off of TV.

Yet, they are going to fawn, and be biased towards every team playing us?

It's bullocks.

Sounds about right. I'll blame you now.

*bookmarked*

 

[AustonMcDavid]

ONE goal in first two games? Sounds about right...

 

[Gallagbi]

Phaneuf or Polak. Take your pick, because they'd be the best we've got for him.

Polak was awful with him last year

 

[Alerion]

Did you guys know that Dylan Larkin can fly and has laser eyes?

 

[WTFMAN99]

Phaneuf or Polak. Take your pick, because they'd be the best we've got for him.

Phaneuf/Polak/Gardiner

 

[Daisy Jane]

u m, hello,mr.Foxman.wedraftedBoyes too!

 

[Cor]

There's 5 drafted players on our teams goofs.

Brad Boyes counts.

 

[yubbers]

Polak was awful last year

Indeed.


Keep him far away from Mo

 

[Kelly]

yawn.... This is gunna be a long year..

 

[Zybalto]

Really... because it's seemed like Detroit has dominated possession.

They've buried their scoring chances but there really hasnt been a ton of shots compared to the average game. Real tight checking.

The Hunwick/Phaneuf pairing has been brutal.

Harrington/Gardiner our best pair for the second straight game. Gotta find Rielly a better partner though.

 

[hockeyes]

No it was not as bad and the teams players actually cared and fought and generally wanted to half kill someone when they wete losing. These guys are the purest form of losers and gutless. So thats the truth.

Can you blame them? I don't think any of the teams from the 80s were led by money hungry slugs who fooled an incompetent GM into giving them a freebie retirement contract. Dion should be self terminating his contract for fear of legal action at this point.
