Well that kind of looks like the regular season roster.
I guess we'll have to see the "kids" with the Marlies.

No one over #52
Harrington and Percy are the only prospects in the game tonight.
Close to the lineup you expect to start, with no prospects.
I don't know anything about his background or his rich parents or if he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, which you seem to imply.
Reading from Wiki and knowing nothing of his background, he seems to have earned some of what he is reaping:
From Wikipedia:
"Zachary Martin Hyman (born June 9, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Hyman was drafted 123rd overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
After leading the entire Canadian Junior Hockey League in scoring, Hockey Canada named him the 2011 CJHL Player of the Year. During the 2014–15 season, Hyman was selected as the University of Michigan's Athlete of the Year, a Hobey Baker Award finalist, a Big Ten First Team All-Star selection, a First Team All-American and a First Team Academic All-American. Hyman set new league records and was named Big Ten Media MVP and crowned Big Ten Scoring Champion."

When Babcock says we are not a "heavy" team is he saying we are not a big team or is he saying we play like wimps? It feels to me that he is calling his team out in a back handed jedi master kinda way.
I'm not sure how to take that comment.
Although I'm not sure what he is saying I like his analytical approach, This rookie coach is OK in my books, I like the cut of his jib, i think he might be a keeper.

He means lacking weight and strong on the puck.

That Larkin is one impressive player and going be a real good NHL player.
Detroit hit a home run with this pick.

Wimps. Passive criticisms seems to be his way. I think Paul Maurice operates this way as well. Instead of calling them "out of shape" or "poorly prepared" Babcock says "I thought we looked tired and that's my fault for practising them too hard".

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I don't know, but I'm super happy Phaneuf and Bozak got traded!
That day can't come soon enough. I would be more than happy to hold on to JVR, Kadri, Lupul, and Gardiner from the existing core, but those two have to go, no matter what the return is.
That's the opposite of true. Babcock is a straightforward guy and his comments are to be taken at face value. Did you ever consider the possibility that maybe he did train them too hard leading up to the game? That's something that happens in the preseason.
Do you guys really think NHL coaches spend time conjuring up cryptic messages to send to their teams via post-game interviews?
I can't help but cringe whenever I read stuff like that on here.

Kapanen actually had a decent game last night. He will see some time with the big club especially if he can round out his game with the marlies. There's no doubt he's got the speed to burn.

When the rumours started last spring that he was heading our way, i really wanted to dislike this guy based on all of the stuff you mentioned above. However, when I actually saw the guy in interviews, I changed my mind right away. He presents as the nicest guy around! Not only that, while other NHLers are doing all sorts of not-so-nice things in their spare time, this guy writes children's books. You gotta love that. Also, as someone mentioned, he's got a pretty good list of accomplishments. He's got my support!
