Post-Game Talk: Sitting Ducks tonight 7:30

[L'Aveuglette]

Yes.

He was hours away from becoming the Leafs head coach before Babcock turned out to be using Buffalo as leverage, he was then offered a job on Babcock's staff as an A-Coach. Babcock had previously offered him an a-coach spot in Detroit. Boucher refused it because there was a reasonably high chance he'd be offered another head coaching job, which he was by Ottawa.

The weird thing is, you'd think that backstory would have been a lot more publicized when Boucher was hired by Ottawa. I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned on a broadcast of a Leafs/Sens game, even back in his first season with Ottawa when it would have been relevant.

Yeah I don't remember that at all. I do remember how he was coaching on another continent though.

I'm watching the Jets and Sens game both at the same time and I would love to see Duchene or Stone on their roster. Duchene would probably be the player they need more because he's a C. Wonder what they would offer up. Too bad they don't have any scouts at our game.

 

[Tundraman]

I'm surprised how Nilsson gets so low to the ice for a big guy. He is trying to cover the bottom of the net but he scrunches down so much he negates much of his height advantage.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Just letting the Ducks shoot at will this period. Eventually those will go in.

 

[Deku]

Tierney is just......very mediocre.

"an important piece of the rebuild"

I bet he's gone in under 2 years with the abundance of middle-six potential C prospects we have coming up

Report: Maple Leafs almost hired Boucher before Babcock called

C'mon Bruce I just had dinner

 

[branch]

Mike Johnson going off...I love it. Calling out the shills.

 

[Six Assets]

mike johnson is great, realistic assessment of tkachuk and the future of this team

 

[BondraTime]

Was that a club/dance remix of Rage Against the Machine?

C'mon, why would you do that, and RATM is perfect as is for sports

I missed it, what was said?

 

[Tundraman]

Dzingel needed to shoot that

 

[BatherSeason]

What happened to DJ Prosper? Is he still around? Or is he on the island with Condon and the Spittin Chicklets?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Dzingel makes the worst decision in very obvious situations.

 

[aragorn]

Geez I hate that drop back pass on the PP … definitely the coaching staff wanting to continue with that crap.

 

[Six Assets]

said that tkachuk is a solid 20 goal scorer, and the team will still suck in 2 years in regards to the melnyk comments

I am very glad I didn't hear that

Imagine this - Carlyle is sacked by the Ducks in the offseason and we are also searching for a new coach. Melnyk hears the fanbase's calls for an experienced coach and hires him

Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to getting a hardass like Carlyle for two years, while we crater and amass picks.

He seems like he'd be a good tank commander. But I'd like to see a coach hired who they expect to be here long term and instill good habits in the young players we already have

Carlyle and Mann as an assistant. Promote Mann after year two or three?

Whoever it is, it needs to be someone who can get this team to play defense/ as a five-man unit properly.

 

[Tundraman]

Bad shift started with Boro caught standing still inside his blue line on the Ducks zone entry.

 

[OmniSens]

Oh hello there Mat... Here's a blank check.

 

[mianjo]

DOUCHEE

 

[Tundraman]

Wow Duchene raises that up close in...goal

 

[Alex1234]

Our #1 C just put a puck and 2 players in the net
