Interesting...that's a long ass wait after Saturday, if we do indeed play Boston
He's corrected himself likely Thursday Saturday for games 1 and 2.

I'm just gonna say it, if Babcock plays Komarov over Kap/Johnny, I want him GONE.
Accountability starts at the top and playing Komarov over those two is the equivalent of having an empty net and deciding to go for a line change because you just had a 25 second shift and you're feeling kinda tired and if you go off for the line change the other team gets a 5-0.
It is THAT obvious and THAT simple.
We've heard him go on about how you need to seize opportunities and how you never know which year is your best chance and quite frankly we heard the same thing in Pittsburgh with their former coach costing them cups in how he used players and look at what Sullivan has done.
Simply put, there is NO excuse for not playing those two and don't give me the "we'll probably win one in the future, relax" with big contracts, injuries and unforeseen events you NEVER KNOW and I am not writing this year off because "we're young" this is the same attitude that could've been said for the Caps and look at all their epic failures.
I know it won't happen, but if eh ****s us out of a playoff run for frigging Komarov, I don't see any excuses at all. At least Polak has gotten somewhat better and looks ok as the 6 now, at least with Dermott anyways, Komarov has been TRASH this ENTIRE YEAR.
Definitely wouldn't say Dermott's role is small. He's been a huge part of our solid 5v5 play since he's been up. Komarov is a downgrade from Johnsson, that's obvious, but Babcock is gonna BabcockJust got back from the game. I don't know if it's recency bias or what but it looks like the Leafs are sorely missing depth players like Dermott and Johnson. Their roles may be small but man do they make a difference.
If you are still guessing whether Babcock is going to play his man-crush or the superior player...you haven't been paying attention. 100% Leo is in to start. Hopefully we aren't down big in the series before he has no choice but to do the right thing and sit him.i'd love it if we had a coach who didn't leave us guessing if he was going to play the inferior player
Yeah, all these guys trying to act meta by attempting to sum up the PGT, as if there isn't useful criticism mixed in with the usual crap.
Look closely. It’s in fact load of usual crap mixed with some useful criticism.
Guys and Daisy. Don't get all stressed over it you'll get an aneurysm. Komarov is playing games 1 and 2 minimum. By the time Babcock realizes Johnsson and Kapanen gives him the best chance to win it will be too late.
Take solace in the fact that we will never really know if it would have made a difference anyway - even though let's face it, it probably would have.
That giveaway to Hall was such a BRAIN DEAD play lolI understand Gardiner isn’t as bad as he seems, but I really do not like the type of game he plays.
love Babcock
It’s mostly just people screaming to the heavens about a player whose almost certain to start in the playoffs.
We just had a franchise-record season... and for that, I blame Babcock!
Happy we have arguably the best coach in the league (maybe second-best but I'll take it).

I'm sure when Calgary fires their coach you'll be pleased as punch when he gets here.
or Hitchcock.
hm. maybe Bill Peters?
