How tasty was that buzzer beater by Matthews. That's good poop.

Yeah, while I was watching it looked like a mad scramble that ended up in the back of the net but the fact that it was deliberate was amazing.

I was thinking that only a handful of players could've scored that goal from that angle as fast as he did. That's what franchise players can do. Win games just like that.

Apparently Matthews and nylander set up two hockey nets on ice approximately 1 foot apart and fire pucks into that 1 foot opening one after another and keep their aim on that opening. Not surprised by his great accuracy.

Babs wants him. I don't imagine Shanny, Lou, Hunter or Dubas do.

Coaches will always value players they trust. They value players differently than fans do. Lou has to walk a fine line here.

He's looking out for both the immediate and long term interests of his team. But he also wants to keep his head coach happy. He can't give in to every player demand his coach makes. But he can't say "no" every time either.

Lou likely tells Babs "I gave up a 2nd for Boyle last year because you wanted him. I'm not giving up another one for Glendening."

Then Babs likely says "But he's a man's man, Realgud pro, great family values, great work ethic, plays the game the right way, a winner, an elite competitor...I love me some GLENNY!!!!"

So according to Babs he is Zach Hyman 2.0?

Can we just call up Aaltonen for the rest of the year, see what he can do? I mean, a 4C tryout isn't going to tank our playoff chances and honestly BOS or TB, couldn't give a (frank) who we play first, both are going to be hard outs.

Move JVR for a center prospect, pick, put Leivo on the 3rd line.

He played pretty good as the 4c in the exhibition. I'd be willing to give him another shot. Honestly Moore is gonna do what he do regardless of if he sits for 10 games or not at this point in his career.

Yeah let's leave the intentional tanking to the Buffalo Sabres and the Ottawa Senators.

I’ve never watched Glendening play. Is he any better than Moore? I mean it’s a cap hit of 1.8 for three years. Tell holland a fourth “just be happy he’s off your books”

Let's put it this way. If you told Babs he could only have 1 of Hyman or Glenny, you may not want to hear his answer.

I don't see the motivation of the Wings trading Glenny for a 4th. Why? He's about to turn 29. Not 39. He's a very good 4th line centre (who can also play wing) under contract for 3 more years. He's a good shutdown guy/penalty killer who is good on faceoffs. It's not his fault that his team stinks.

Why am I trading this guy for a pick which in all likelihood will be a player who will never play in the NHL? Why are the Wings doing the Leafs a favour? Babs doesn't work for the Wings anymore.

Because he sucks and any competent non-Detroilet coach plays him 9 minutes a game instead of 17.

3 more years at 1.8 is garbage though.

He's terrible, but he's a Babcock pet so he plays 16mins a game

Well, nearly double Moore and for a couple more years longer.

He's in no way nearly double as good as Moore.
