I'm pretty happy the Leafs signed Mike Babcock. I had an unproductive 1pm hour at work yesterday.

Bishop sucks at least. Makes for entertaining games.
- AdamFrench

Oh yeah, good thing Lundqvist can't stop a beach ball too.

uhmmm highest pick in 26 years? In the deepest draft in a dozen years...most are pretty happy with that
- GardinerExpress

Yes but some poster that shall not be named is chomping at the bit to piss that away on some 'Murikan, left-shooting college D instead of the choice of two 1Cs that led the O 1-2 punchwise in scoring.

you just watch.. strome and marner will top out as 2Cs and Hanifin will be a top pairing stud.

but you like your lil ontario boys so.. lets agree to disagree

Let's...

We'll touch base in a few year and see who's the one laughing.

In all honesty though, where the hell else we planning on getting the 1C we need?

Phaneuf trade?

9th or 10th overall next year due to Babs?

You know, I've been pretty pissed off about the Mcdonagh trade for quite some time.

I'm watching him play against the Bolts, and I say to myself that, he may be a weeeee bit overrated.

Lil?

Strome's like 6' 2" no? Yeah that's puny.

Marner's as tall as Gilmour. Gilmour was horrible as our 1C

You're right. My bad. I guess I better learn the hockey.

neither strome OR marner are ready for pro let alone the NHL

omg stop drinking... your brain is dying

babs doesnt actually go out onto the ice you know.. (frank) me.. some of you guys are acting like we just signed a 22 year old gretzky

At least he's not as bad as twiztedmike who thinks Marner is better than Eichel.

It should help, though. Maybe more than we think.

Of course they aren't ready!!! We're in rebuild mode newsflash.

Let them develop in the time being.

If the trade kessel, Dion, Lupul and Bozak for mostly youth, picks, and salary dumps... No amount of Babgod voodoo will keep them out of the bottom 3.
Leafs picking 4 th or better next year again is my guess

K, 9-10 is solely exgatterating (sp?) but I can't see 4th again.

On that note, in the off chance we do get #4, anything decent slotted there?

The answer that scares us all. Hope to hell they do.

8 yrs implies Babcock expects a couple years of suck, IMO.

you really think babcocks going to demand they keep the bunch of bum a that mailed it in for 3 months?
I don't

I think a big reason he came here was for a ground up rebuild from top to bottom... And assload of money of course.

I'm happy for the Leafs as well. That franchise deserves a bounce to go their way, if anything because they have passionate fans. I'll never have sympathy for the Floridas or Arizonas of the world, who have pitiful fair weathered fan support.

Having said all that...I secretly ( or not so secretly)wanted them to hire Dallas Eakins, but that was so I could enjoy him as a comedic figure, not a Horror.

They also have awesome weather. So, I'm jealous of that.

A

What has changed to make them decide to keep them?

I think most coaches love to think they could pretty much take any team/players and make them competitive. At least, that's the type of mentality/confidence/arrogance that makes a coach successful.

Exactly. He know's this is the chance for him to essentially mold the team in his image. Leave his fingerprints all over it if you will.

that ever happen before?

I live here because of my girlfriend, so, the party answer is yes. (the real answer is no)

Was in Nashville for a few years before I moved back here. Now that's good living. Say what you want about the south, but don't do it in front of their beautiful womenfolk, because then they might not go home with you.
