Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 7-2

[GoldenGOOSE]

IF IF IF Auston's shoulders were okay I would acknowledge he is the most talented Leaf of all time. Exceeding David Keon.

And Marners dad does seem like quite a guy. Good for him, good for him. He developed a tremendous player and kid. So he obviously did a lot of things right.

Maybe he is a bit different. But he seems to be quite intelligent. I like him so far, till he shows otherwise .

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Why is a guy a bad guy for saying something about the way Babcock handles players, I don't like Babcock at all. I am stunned Tavares chose to come over and play for this guy, but I am very happy he did.

I have never met Babcock. I have met most of the team at one time or another. And all very cool guys, but I just don't get, at all, the lines that Babcock puts out on the ice.

Why not just punish another team with pure talent? Why put grinders on with skill players.

Skill players want to play with skill.

I just don't like the way Babcock coaches, if he wins a cup I guess I will join the throngs of millions on Yonge Street.

But I don't see it happening with Babcock.

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Btw that video was really something. Don't know what to say about it. Obviously Paul Marner wanted to be a player himself. I don't dislike him, I am not judging

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It was good to see Kadri actually contribute

That was how Anaheim went to the final in 03. They grinded to no end and bore you to death.

That was also the reason why Team Canada had problems scoring in both 10 and 14 despite the gold medals.

Things sure are close at the top. Yesterday we were 6th overall by PTS%, today we're tied for 2nd.

Considering all of young players have developed quite nicely under Babcock, I think he knows how to handle players. Having one grinder on an offensive line is never a bad thing. Hyman was able to score 15 goals last year which is pretty good, while doing all the hard work to get the other guys on his line the puck. Spreading out the scoring over 3 lines is far more beneficial than having 1 line that can score and 3 that can't.

What players want doesnt always win either, though. If it was that easy, we wouldnt have coaches.

30 pages for a loss, 6 for a win. Says a lot.

 

[Loosie]

Great...now Paul Marner is going to be bitching that Mitch is not the coach yet

 

[Mess]

Those Devils have problems and not a very good team.

All I have to do is mention Nylander and we'll have no problem getting to 30 pages.

LOL, so true.

A good ol' confidence booster.

Talk about your random ass stat for the day.

It's sad.

Are you listening Babcock?

That doesn’t make any sense though. The Leafs were a much better team at home last season than on the road.

The Leafs are just not playing as well as they can at home. Has nothing to do with Babcock and his coaching.

You can take a look at Babcock’s career and Leaf stats. His teams are WAY better at home than on the road.

We only had 12 losses in 41 games at home. We already have 6 in 15 so far.

 

[DarkKnight]

It's sad.

It's funny, I never stick around if we lose a game anymore, guess I'm the reverse of the herd.

 

[mashedpotato]

Dominant win against a subpar team.

Just what the doctor ordered - incoming winning streak.

If only we had a way of comparing last seasons' players to this season....

 

[Confucius]

Great win!
Crickets in the PGT.
Any type of loss and it's the zombie apocalypse! 16 pages in 10 minutes. Trade everyone!! Everyone sucks!!! Life as we know it ended!!!!

we don't brag and celebrate, sheesh. we win with class and stay silent just going about our biz.

 

[X66]

People need to stop quoting this.

Leafs are 6-0-1 in their last 7 home games, so obviously whatever they're doing at home is working.

 

[The Examiner]

Most of those 6 pages are bitching about there only being 6 pages.

After a loss, the majority of posts seem to be about how bad Babcock is.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Leafs put on a machine like performance. Could not ask for anything more. Now we need to do that against Boston. The 3 lines with talent is a game changer for us. No other team in league can do what we can do this year.

If you want to understand the legend that is Paul Marner go onto network54 and it is all there. Personally I like him. He is all in for his kid and he has been since Mitch was 5/6. But most are not and did not like the video game and practice tapings, the coach reviews and the sponsorship deals. In my view as I know all the kids and parents as we all played together in GTHL/spring hockey for many many years many people were jealous of Mitch, Connor and Auston for a variety of reasons. But truth is and i said it back then that those 3 were going to the show when they were 10 Connor when he was 6. It was blatantly obvious. Yes development helped over the years but all the kids continued to develop its just those 3 were the best when they first stepped on the ice.

A couple defensive lapses I wasn’t a fan of. NJ is a really bad team, not going to get too high from this win, onto Florida.
