No Leafs want to play for Babs. They play for themselves. Boston plays for their coach

Coaching is so weird. I don't even know how much a coach matters, sometimes I think their impact is greatly exaggerated

I got diabetes from riding a tractor in my bathing suit. I call it the tractor story.

Lol.. sound like a helluva story..

My dad probably took the same path to diabetesland.

I guess this 15 year-old Shane Wright kid got exceptional status in the OHL.

just a guess, but I think over a season when you play different teams every game its not as important. But in a 7 game series, i think coaching can make a pretty big difference.

Leafs should make Marleau coach.

Beer and pistachios

But not a lot of beer and shelling pistachios.

I hope the Islanders draft him and then he leaves to go to Toronto when he’s a free agent.

why so negative?
Babcock is the best coach in the game.
as all coaches, he might have his flaws, but it's stupid to say that people don't want to play for him.

You're probably right. But at the end of the day, the coach is not playing the game. Players' talent and execution, and a little luck, determines who wins

That was my take on a Seinfeld joke about one of Jerry's girlfriends saying her ex BF told her she got gonorrhea from riding a tractor in her bathing suit - didn't mean to make light of a serious condition.

Ohhh I forgot about that

And idgaf about his diabetes, he hacks darts and pounds scotch all day. It’s his own fault.

over the years I have turned down many Sens games, If they arnt playing the Leafs I dont even want to go for free.

a few years ago the Sens were doing some promotion and had sparky the cat or whatever he is show up at random locations handing out a free pair of ticket, I walked into CT and they said here are some free tickets and tried to hand me some, I said no thanks..not interested
- senstroll

I'll go if the tix are real good ( and free ) and the Leafs arent playing.

Touche.

Agreed..

Advanced stats just make things look pretty... It would show that Gardiner had a great game, because he completed 90% of his passes, but it wouldn't account for Gardiner's giveaway right in front of Andersen in a tie game with 7 seconds left in the game that leads to a goal against and a loss..

Also, whatever happened to SofaKingBored?

Is Mike Babcock a good coach? I think he's a good inspirational leader, has his players backs (never says they were 'just ok' after a good game), but sometimes I question his player deployment and in-game adjustments (or lack thereof)
- BestRapperAlive

He's terrible at that no doubt.
