Babs should explain why he thought pulling the goalie down 2 was a good idea based off the evidence of the PP tonight.


:shakehead

Maybe to give players without experience in that situation a shot at actually experiencing it. Sort of a learning experience...much like this whole season. Why, did you think they were going to come back with two quick ones ?

He isn't better than Crosby yet, only because he doesn't have enough NHL experience. He will be better and I personally think he's the most skilled player ever. There are other players who are probably his equal in vision/IQ/skill, but nobody operates at the same speed as this kid. Everything he does is at a pace much faster than his peers. He's the first player in any sport where I feel the phrase 'on another level' actually applies.

I agree completely... Give him a few more years to develop physically and gain some experience, and wow.

TML celebrating 100 years of history, how does the NHL celebrate this:

No Allstar Game
No Draft
No Winter Classic-still to be determined

I can live with all of these but for the love of god please give us Austin Matthews because if EDM wins another draft lottery I am gonna go postal.

No that's the point.

Just take 4-2 and leave.

The only cloud on the horizon is it wouldn't surprise me if Babcock even taught this addition of the Leafs how to win. They gave a good effort tonight.

So, we get Stamkos this year, Tavares in two & McDavid in 6.

Minus McDavid, Oilers are bad.

As a fan of hockey, I am a fan of McDavid. I don't care what jersey he's wearing, I want him to smash records. (And then he can play for us in 7-8 years :sarcasm: )

just as long as he fawns over the Leafs in 6 years in a Leafs jersey, with a Leafs contract. its all good.

By the time Stamkos 7 year contract expires we will be ready to replace with McDavid. It's all good.
