Bingo. Habs too. Not just for tiebreakers, for the points themselves. Those are four point games.

Minnesota played last night too. No reason to start Andersen.

Funny, even Minnesota started their back-up against Ottawa last night.

Boudreau must be worth zero salt.

Funny, Minnesota's backup this year has been better than their starter.

But yeah, the Leafs should take pointers from teams that just barely won their first game of the season (5 games in) against a poopty Sens team.

I hate Boudreau and think he isnt an actual good coach so I dont believe in anything he does.

However, I get both sides of the debate. I think Babcock should try something different because he hasnt seen success in his way yet. I'm also curious if he ever admits mistakes.

Won a Jack Adams, made the playoffs in 10 of 12 seasons as head coach. He knows a few things. Not the best coach of all-time but he's not bad either.

3 teams had back to back games tonight and tomorrow.

2 of said teams started their "starter" today and won. The other started their "backup" and lost. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Wonder what I would rather, as as fan.

Win the first game and hope for the second or hope for both games...

Are you describing Babcock? Sounds like you are.

Was just stating some facts to people who were pretending as if no NHL coach would play their back-up in the 1st game of a back to back even though literally two did it tonight and he did it last night.

Boudreau is a good regular season coach, terrible playoff coach.

Babcock is in the top tier of coaches but his stubbornness is starting to get in his own way.

Try to win the first game first and worry about the second after. Like any decent coach would do.

Excellent strategy. And let the douchebags complain that the win wasn't good enough

You have a cycle of complaints.

You have an out for every game to find something to complain about, when you follow a team you won’t agree with every tiny decision that’s being made...but most of the time you are the one who’s likely wrong over an NHL coach. Give it a rest.

He strikes me as a pretty jacked guy. Maybe the one guy that could take my fat ass in fisticuffs.
- GreatGigInTheSky

He strikes me as Norwegian, so probably not

He killed someone drunk driving after his career was over though.

It'll be so nice in 50 years when all the cars drive themselves and nobody will die in car accidents anymore.

Until an asteroid hits the satellite that controls them and everybody in a car dies instantly at the same time.

Big loss coming tonight gentlemen. Looking forward to all the excuses for once again falling flat on a back-to-back and once again losing to a top team...

Nah, that's dumb.

Doesn't matter. Get the W before you can concern yourself with the next W.

Any coach worth his salt does that. That's why they're in that position and you're an internet idiot.

Its called reality.

If they pull out a big win tonight I will be pleasantly surprised and the first to give them props. Leafs have just looked ‘blah’ so far. Last nights first period was brutal against an inferior team... better show up tonight...

October 15 is traditionally the day you divide the contenders from the pretenders.

...at least until October 16 happens. Then you need to over analyze and re-assess.
