Babcock played Gardiner more than anyone (6 GP); his analysis: "I liked him. So all the things I heard about him, none of them were true."

It's hard to tell whether Mike is a better coach than 95% of the fans and the Toronto media?

I feel like Gardiner is going to be his go too over Reilly. Babcocks a better man than I am but this makes me nervous.

They think they are.

I dont think the Leafs are as far off as the expectations are, but they will have work e hard for every single point.

The challenge will be if Babs loses the room, as a watcher of him for 10yrs, he lost the room about 3-4yrs ago in Det.

The Leafs are terrible. The challenge will be for Lou to find a taker for some of the deadwood they were unable to move this summer.

@markhmasters: Babcock on Gardiner: "I see a guy who can skate a million miles, a guy who competes, a guy who wants to be on the ice, a guy getting better"

Not gonna happen....and it'll only get worse.


May only find a taker with only a year left.

You people are (frank)ed.

Specifically mentioned Harrington as complement to gardiner and/or Reilly.


Also mentioned marincin and hunwick.




Mike doesn't like polak.

Been watching the oilers game tonight and mcdavid has almost been invisible which goes to show people like tanner who think adding 1 superstar rookie is going to take a team from the basement to a guaranteed playoff spot has no idea about how hockey actually works.

Get off my f(rank)ing back

I disagree. I'm not a wings fan but a buddy of mine is a die hard wings fan and we used to shoot the poop about hockey all the time. Zetterberg kronwall and dats who are obviously the leaders of the wings had nothing but respect for babs and the feeling was mutual from everything I've read. I don't know where you get that idea.
- HealthyScratch6

Im sure they respect him, but that doesnt mean the Wings players were not interested in a new voice or a new gameplan. That is my point, even the best voices grow frail after a while.

Oh...

Bozak only looked good because he didn't play.
