No no. I've been told that Babcock will coach this flaming bag of garbage to just outside of the playoffs.

Babcock will be busy trying not to laugh out loud when he's behind the bench.

*crickets*

I have a short memory.

When Burke first joined the team, were him and Wilson said to be as much of a dynamic duo as Lou and Babcock?

they were Fallen angels sent to rescue humanity

The greatest PP tandem ever especially in transition. I'm sure opposing PK forwards were salivating at the chance to play against those two.

i am actually liking the lineup

its a team full of character, not talent. good guys to move at the deadline, good guys to have around the younger guys to teach work ethic too.

but not so talented that it could launch them up the standings so that they arent in a position to draft a core piece next summer.

lots of underrated players with more skill than we think

IMO Panik and Holland fit in that group

Was so much so they called them Burkson and now we have BabaLou.

man.. he sucks

took two games for him to fall to the bottom pairing on a real team.

he just looked better than what he is in toronto cause everyone around him was even worse

his ability is to be a mediocre producer of points from the back end.

with phaneuf, rielly, and gardiner all in the starting lineup its not what the leafs need at all.

but... but... truculence!!!!

Big defenseman with a nice shot & pass. I'm a fan. I don't think he's significantly better or worse than Phaneuf

the first year will be tough.

we are going to see some young guys like holland who might not fit babcock's style and approach.

this will be a year of lineup juggling.

big defenseman who cant play D worth a poop

his skating is suspect

he isnt worth what he is asking

why do you think he isnt signed? the guy is looking top 3 money and on a competitor he's bottom pairing.

I suspect he still wants to play for the Leafs and still negotiating

I'm just preparing you for it Doz

He and his agent may have priced themselves out of the market now. He's gonna learn to love the KHL.
