At 16-4-2 they're the best non-contender ever!

And it’s eating some of our regulars up inside.

The Oilers suck when they’re not on the pp. If the leafs can continue to stay out of the box it will be a sweep.
- shack67

The way that game started I thought the Oilers were going to bury the Leafs. McDavid had 3 great scoring chances. Barabanov served him a nice pizza but Connor didn't bury it. Leafs weathered the storm and then pretty much took over.

Thing about Babs is he's not as great of a coach as some people think. He's not as bad of a coach as some people think. He's somewhere in the middle. A very good coach with some flaws. He'll get another NHL head coaching job eventually. And he'll succeed.

I was happy to see him replace Dave Lewis in Detroit. But I was also happy to see him go to Toronto. 10 years was long enough. My only problem was Holland replacing him with an inexperienced Jeff Blashill.

Yeah, obviously Shanny and Yzerman both liked him enough to hire him later. But also his narcissism seemed to catch up with him. I drank the Kool Aid but oh well, (frank) it.

Yeah I thought he'd be great, but I was wrong.
- Zezel

I thought the same thing about Burkie.

Babs was exactly what the Leafs needed at the time. Nothing wrong with moving on with Keefe who's proving to be a very good NHL head coach.

Home of Dr. Banting. The first long bike ride I ever did was Alliston to Tottenham.
- Zezel


I rode my bike from Tottenham to Loretto tavern once. Did not drive it home - taxi.

Oh who am I kidding it was a Friday night and like every other Friday night in that one horse, one stop light town me and my buds took a taxi to Loretto Tavern, drank our faces off and then took a cab home.

Yes it seemed like the Oilers quit after that. Early saves are such momentum changers.

Do you know any Doyles or McGuires?
- Tanooki


I know a Mark Doyle from Tottenham - he was on my hockey team growing up.

Don’t know any McGuires that I recall.

I'd really like to see the Leafs win the Cup. I've hated them for most of my life. But the hate disappeared years ago. No fanbase has suffered as much a Leaf fans have. I know so many people who are die hard Leaf fans like you guys are. I really want to see them win it for them. And you guys of course. 👍

I agree Babcock was a good fit at the time.
Guy Boucher thought the job was already his though... strange he disappeared from the NHL coaching map.

Im probably related to him.

My grandma was a Doyle form Tottenham. McGuires are from Schomberg.

Wasn't Guy Boucher coaching somewhere in the KHL?

Emotion is fun, fans need reminders that these players care for some reason as well.

Also we have no idea what the Sharks players were saying on the ice.

- Santo_44


If that’s what caused his little tantrum all he did was make it clear to other teams he’s mentally weak / easy to rattle. Sharks will chirp him twice as hard about the same stuff next time they play.

It’s too bad because he had the whole cool as a cucumber, I’m unflappable persona going and it was starting to stick.

Like the infamous “do I look nervous” interview from the playoffs when the Blues won the cup. He seems like a goalie who has come back down to earth after playing out of his mind during that Blues cup run.

Small world - Schomberg was affectionately referred to as Scumburgh growing up for no particular reason.

Beeton was “Beatin’l because all the wankers were from there. 😜

Ah yeah, the Loretto Tavern. I know a guy who walked to Allison from there. 😂

Cornrow Dermott needs to go at the TDL.
