NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[kyuss]

question, who did give that fat contract to Babcock? (I mean, who did really want him in Toronto)

edit* hah, saw McKenzie already answered that question: it was all Shanahan apparently

[kimmer]

wonder how his contract plays out since this is one year earlier than his opt out cause kicking in

[CasperX22]

You can tell there was a disconnect between Babcock and Dubas. I had to believe that this would be his last year there if they didn't make some progress in the playoffs. Contract be damned...they can't keep flaming out of the playoffs.

Gotta get there to Flame out.

Babcock was a really good coach in his early years with the Leafs, but probably should have been fired in the offseason. Personnel just didnt match the system Babcock tried to implement.

[Matthew]

Matthew the clear winner, his 'strategy' with the goalies is paying off lol

Like to know what voodoo Matthew is performing.

has a doll for every starter in the league, just ready to strike at a moment's notice

Kaapo Kahkonen called up. That's 3 goalies.

Now I just need to take care of the Pittsburgh and Columbus goaltenders.

I thought babcock was a real good coach.. like a legendary coach

If he has a vetaran team, sure. But the kids... they got tired of being told what to do.

We are about to find out if the core is the problem (entitled) or if it was truly the coach.

the off season looked promising.. trading kadri (useless in playoffs) and getting barrie and Kerfoot in return... I thought a def with muzzin, barrie and reilly was pretty promising..
def has to be the problem they are getting way too many goals against... offense wouldn't come if you can't defense…...

[Jordan (VGK)]

An ideal win to Babcock is winning 0 to -1.

Justin Holl is top pairing
that's the problem

Justin Holl is the new Martin Skoula. So much poise.

[Da_Hawks]

Is Rinne finally done? Or is Nashville just really bad now?

[kyuss]

OMG Nichushkin scored!

He's been the Leafs most consistent dman in their own end. He's been fantastic.

Coaching change won't fix that joke of a defense corps Dubas assembled. Dubas officially on notice.

The defense corps is fine. The pairings, which are set by the coach, are the problem. Almost every single one of them was playing out of their element under Babcock.

Sure...we'll go with that. Let's see if they don't continue to be an issue in the playoffs.

It seems that Babcock was pulling this kind of garbage on his own star rookie, I mean what a dinosaur, the kind of crap that Don Cherry would pull.
