The thing is, Connor Brown doesn’t even provide the physical presence that Leo did, and doesn’t have the same impact on the game.
he has always been like that. all he can do is follow, like sheep. incapable of observing and forming his own opinion. Babcock is coach so must always be right, everyone else is wrong. like you say pure stupidity!
I don't know why. Atleast make a f***ing attempt to see what's on the other side. I swear to god Babcock could scratch Matthews/Marner/Tavares/Rielly for the next 10 games and these people would still be valiantly defending him and say it's all 4D chess that us mere mortals will never understand.
I just used logic and you are using your opinion.. Mathews played 35 seconds less than Crosby the game before and you are comparing it to him being a healthy scratch. We are getting that worked up about 35 seconds less icetime than Sidney Crosby? Or is pittsburghs coach stupid as well.
You're right, a two game losing streak in all important October is more meaningful when making definitive comments about our team. It's a process, and I'm certainly not persuaded by the clown posse laying any blip on the coach. We're 6-3, chill.
All coaches are dumb. If you cannot see that you are a sheep. I should know, I have watched hockey all my life. Usually from my couch but sometimes from a bar.
Technically you are the one being a sheep considering the popular opinion on this board is Babcock is an idiot. I am going against what everyone else is saying by stating he knows what he is doing more than emotional leaf fans.
unlike you i observed and formed my own opinion on that, like i said something you are incapable of..
I'm not a Marincin fan either and if I had to guess I'd say Babcock isn't either. It probably pains him to have to insert Marincin over Dermott, but you have to send the message. Play harder and win more puck battles or don't play.
Marincin was put on waivers last year because Babs didn't want him anymore. He isn't here because Babs loves him, he's still here because nobody wanted him for free and our new GM liked him down with the Marlies. That's not to say Babs doesn't see some value, but he's already dumped him, so it's not like he's enamoured. Marincin even up in the press box is really a testament to our lack of depth more than anything.
Why can other superstars play 21-23 a night but ours can’t?
not true, i have actually called babcock the first star of the game before, when he for once actually did some in game adjustments and turned the game around for a win when before that we were doing nothing.
My guess is the Sports Science & Performance department gets a lot more say on our franchise than many others. Considering their Spurs experience, I am good with it.
Their managing of Hainsey and Andersen were especially terrible. Our best players also weren't even close to as good as Boston's, so it might be time to try something better
Is disappointment in a 3 seed losing to a 2 seed going to be your epitaph? That horse is glue already.
So all the other teams are just misusing their franchise players eh
as Bowman used to say, when things look wrong, changes wont take long. in the 6 wins the lines were clicking, the defense were doing crisp passes more then the long pass attempts, less dump ins by forwards, they entered the zone with short passes. last 2 games lines were doing nothing, long passes not working, dump and chase over and over. if not working, adjust!
