Toronto up 4-2, parade planning set to resume.

kind of sucks. It was nice seeing them quiet and humbled. If you’re right. 2 in a row and the arrogance should start to come back.

Toronto up 4-2, parade planning set to resume.

You mean they are not going to win it all behind Jack Adams award winner and highest winning percentage coach of all time Sheldon Keefe?

 

[Big L]

Wasn’t MTL up at least 3-0 at one point?

4-0. I think that’s the 4th case this year of a team being up 4-0 and losing

 

[Big L]

Bruins come back super late in 3rd to tie, then win in OT. Barf.

 

[xECK29x]

Very bad scoreboard night for us, luckily we have those games in hand, feels so much tighter.

Mike Babcock allegedly put Mitch Marner in a very tough spot as a rookie

Not strong as tactics on the part of Babcock!

The idea of getting a player to look at him teammates in terms of work ethic isn't a bad idea.

Publishing the list is abyssal.

It really was fine, until that last part.

Exactly! This way of doing by Babcock can be correct as long as the list remains confidential!

I'm detecting sarcasm so I'll just say, there's nothing wrong with identifying hard workers or slackers even. If it was between the coach and rookie, he's getting a rookies impression of what he thinks high work ethic is, and the coach can use his list to motivate the kid. Maybe Marleau was on the top; shows how long Marleau has been in the league and how long the guy has been a factor in the NHL and would be a good role model. Maybe player X was low and bounced around in leagues. Idk, idc about the list.

But sharing it and betraying trust, not to mention outting the 'low ethic players' and creating friction is horrific.

At least Marner was smart enough to put himself on the bottom. That seems fairly intuitive in an exercise like that but there's a lot of egomaniacs out there. Would not have played well if Marner put himself above any of the vets.

Of course, I'd like to hear Babcock's version of this story. Who knows if we are hearing the straight scoop here.

There is no sarcasm. We share the same opinion on this!

Let's be honest. That goalie needs a technique overhaul.

Harsh stuff here from Akim Aliu.

Who? Looked him up.

Career minor leaguer with seven games in the NHL (2G, 1A). In nine seasons in the AHL, he played on nine different teams, along with seven different ECHL teams, and in five different European leagues.

Obviously a great player and a real team guy.
