Im gonna go with one of the old geezers

I put Simmons in the old geezer group.

 

[Mess]

So you had to do it. Couldn't help yourself.

I'm a big Babcock fan, so I was projecting based on reading this board daily and all the Babcock bashing that I was surprised sarcastically that his firing wasn't mentioned yet.

 

[hotpaws]

You see, to people that aren't consumed by hating on "nerds" there's a very very broad line between "speculating on likely intent" and "praise"

except that some were "praising" him on "speculation"

and now it's come out there's only a presser because of the complaint

 

[SprDaVE]

I guess it's not televised...

 

[ToneDog]

Hopefully he fires Babcock

Babs scheduled to be on Leaf Lunch after 12 pm so I doubt it. They could tank a coach or two though.

Hopefully your wifi goes out.

It did go out a few nights ago at 12 am in the morning. I had 3 power outages in a span of a minute that night.

 

[TheDoldrums]

don't understand why it wouldn't even be streamed

Announcing the break up of the Matthews Marner line

 

[Daisy Jane]

The media is the literal worst.


Always complain whenever a player doesn't want to talk to them, or when a coach tells them a question is stupid, and now when Toronto cancels a practice (lol wtf), yet will gladly harass players famalies, and bash players and management.


I wish Toronto would just shut media out of practices.

apparently it's a league-y thing. so i mean if the rangers or ... someone else did this it would be the same situation. but still kinda funny. so if the leafs did a booboo here that's mandated by the league then just hold up to their end of the bargain.

Could work out for the best if he can keep Matthews number down.

Per Pierre Lebrun: Leafs GM Kyle Dubas says that he has no appetite to acquire rental players.

Maybe they don't wanna make it obvious

 

[Loosie]

umm......

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Kyle Dubas says the #leafs have made progress on an extension for Auston Matthews. Ideally he'd like to get it done ASAP for long-term clarity before trade deadline. Adds they aren't negotiating with Mitch Marner at the request of Marner's agent, Darren Ferris.

It's needed to know before the Leafs start acquiring players with term at the deadline.

Yup. It's been said Dubas doesn't want to acquire a rental player, but rather someone with term. To do that, we need to have Matthews locked in at least.

I'm sure Dubas has an idea of where the Marner camp wants to end up. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about Johnsson or Kapanen yet.

good point.

 

[diceman934]

Practice was already cancelled yesterday

Yes I understand that they had to do something as practice bring canceled yesterday was not giving the media enough notice and this is the Leafs response.

 

[81Leafs50]

No doubt the Leafs want to hvae Matthews extension done by the trade deadline.

 

[81Leafs50]

Leafs should look into this guy! hasnt scored much but wont cost much to sign long term.

 

[SprDaVE]

Sounds like Marner is putting himself ahead of the team...

...trade him for Simmonds or a defenseman!!!!!

leaf fans will never turn on the adorable l'il canuck.

Oh I know, im speaking in regards to Marner's deal. If Dubas can keep Matthews number down to around 10, that may serve us well with Marner
