Babs was forcing guys to watch the hunting channel. There’s only so much a millennial can take.

The word has been that Keefe and Dubas are on the same page about everything. If so, then I'm curious to see what changes he makes in the lineup and how he uses players.

We'll get to see what Babcock was doing that Dubas didn't like.

Wonder what this means for Mikheyev? Wasn't he a Babcock guy?

Remember when raptors brought in a rookie coach after perennial 2nd round exits in the nba.

People critiqued nurse too. And now he is making a kawhi-less raptor team look just as good and they’ve all bought in.

It's probably the same as the Christmas pizza they're advertising here.

Would rather eat rocky mountain oysters on pizza than that monstrosity

I probably just assumed it was thanksgiving and it’s Christmas. I’m watching the Canadiens feed so that would check out. It looks absolutely disgusting.

He’s too big for Dubas and Keefe, he’ll be traded for Leipsic

I think Keefe will do a great job honestly, right after we trade a good forward for a good D.

Ya, maybe. Although I had assumed Dubas/scouts liked him and they sent Babs over to make sure he was a gud pro?

Wonder if he gives Garrett Wilson a look too. He's the Marlies 4th line banger/sandpaper and he's had a few NHL looks. Maybe ...

Keefe doesn’t like to lose ( not that anybody does ) and he doesn’t lose very much.

First guess would be to tell them to just worry about playing offense and forget about defense for now.

Because whatever they were doing before was not defense.

My wild, 3 beers in, wacky guess:

Bracco is the first call up.

But...Sparks was a really good AHL goalie too. I’m cautiously optimistic, as we all should be.
