No one criticizes Babcock except me on here. when does he start getting heat?
- RogerRoeper

Nah, he gets plenty of heat.

Plays Hainsey and Z way too much.

Played Komarov/Martin too much before.

He mixes excellent tactics and set plays with questionable personnel decisions at times.

We're better for having him, but still could be better.

*looks at standings*

hmmmmmm

It's unreal.

They say that this poop evens itself out over time, but I've seen so much poop over the years with the Leafs, Oilers, and others getting (frank)ing jobbed by poopty refs.

Probably why it annoys me so much because I’ve seen plenty of it....I’m almost shocked you guys got 4 minutes of PP time out of that....whoa make that 6 minutes now

Didn't we have a pp last game where we maintained possession for the whole two minutes in Tampa's end and got like 8 shots on net? No goal, but only due to Vasi's heroics? It was one of the most dominant power plays I've ever seen.

The issue is its too predictable. I'd consider changing kadri off of the top unit for someone else.

He's doing squat with the talent.
- RogerRoeper

You are simply wrong here.

Like there is no opinion here. You are just plain wrong. Fact.

Normally we'd be lucky to even get a (frank)ing call.

I’m starting to want the Leafs to get some goons.

We’re going to be stupidly penalized anyways, may as well drop some bodies.
- Feeling Glucky?

Let the bodies hit the floor!

I think you think we're a bit further along than what we are.

You'd just like to roll 2 forward lines and 1 d line. But over an 82 game regular season, it's pointless. Less talented players need ice time tonnage the stars for when it matters

He puts a useless grinder on every line. He's terible.

Every team shows up to play the leafs. Why can’t we get Thursdays Florida, Or Tuesdays when they lost to the bottom feeding blues.

Horseshiit hockey.

Get a grip mang.

Stop going through Marner. Please

Every other team stacks the lines.

And in the playoffs, he again did not play his best players enough. He does it even at playoff time.

For Pete sake, change up teh PP strategy!!!

- RogerRoeper

So.does every other successful team.

Why the heck would you take a rush shot on power play. poop like that blows my mind

Clearly miss JVR and Bozek on the PP...

Stop going through Marner. Please
- walshyleafsfan

I'm okay with him running things, but they have to be more creative.

You're giving this underachieving group a free pass. Let me guess - you're a millenial?

- RogerRoeper

what if it's the ice time that is making the leafs so good

- RogerRoeper

And yet ironically enough, lots of people on here have been complaining that they want more grit and toughness on our lines... Isn't that basically what grinders are supposed to provide? Lol.

Time to mix up the lines.

There is way way too much (frank)ing talent in this top 9 to be this poopty.

- RogerRoeper

No they don't. Penguins didn't win the Cup with a line of Malkin Crosby Kessel. The Caps didn't have Backstrom OV and Kuznetsov playing all the time on the same line

In a salary cap world while trying to have 4 decent lines, you have to spread the talent around.
