I honestly believe the bold will ring true...The Leafs are gonna fall apart unless they can make some moves this summer.

For whatever reason I thought the league would've given the Bruins off until Friday night...Then again there's the NBA to contend with, and other teams were done in 4 games...So yeah.

Is it me, or is anyone else surprised that the Bruins/BJs round starts tonight? Thought the league would've given the Bs 1 more night off.

More like the miracle worker the Leaf fanbase, and Toronto media made him out to be. Now both are on him - especially the fans...Some good material over on HF Boards

Sounds like Northern Indiana...

To me it looked like they were playing 'not to lose'...

CAAAAANES!!!!! JEEERRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

Wow - poor call there...

Well - the officiating crew is certainly letting them play...Crazy out there!

So how was that not a 2 min minor pen on the Caps?

Wow - OT for this series...Jerks are really making the Caps sweat it out.

Yeah...He's from the Chicago area...

Look on the bright side...No more gaudy/over the top introductions before home games.

If Turcotte = Bergeron...Hell yeah - nab him if you can!

We should have a few polls on who is the 'coolest', the most 'informed/knowledgeable', most 'funny', and of course the most 'handsome/pretty' poster here at LGW.

Yes - sorry

He's getting older...He's had more health issues these past few seasons...He'll probably want a lot of $$$ long term...That all scares me.

See boys and girls...The effects of too much alcohol on the brain...

Personally - I think it's fairly easy to lump a teams demise squarely upon the shoulders of any head coach...Then again that's the responsibility of the head coach - to accept the results regardless if they're good, or bad. I agree - he's not some savior of Leaf Nation that both the fan base, and media in T.O. want/claim him to be (he's a monster that they created). My only beef was when Chicago came back, and won when they were down 3-1 back in 2010, but by then our roster was that of what we'd see of today's Pens - still capable of making the playoffs, but probably not as good as some of our opponents, and unless we got the calls/bounces going our way - we might have a hard time making it to the finals (truth be told - had we won that series - that Cup would've been ours). 2009 stung too, but for whatever reason - I don't hold a grudge on that - just 2010 really was gut wrenching. Those last 3 seasons that Babs was our coach - I think it was pretty clear Ilitch/Holland wanted to keep the streak alive.

Since I don't care for either team...Vegas can hop on the bandwagon of pissed off fans who've had bad calls go against their team. They're a young spoiled bunch - let them wallow in misery like 99% of the NHL fan bases. How many goals were disallowed by the refs on Holmstrom that were legit? Sorry - they got nuthin to ***** about.

You will waive you nmc/ntc...You don't want to play here anymore... OR You don't want an unfortunate accident to happen...Capiche?

Unless he comes in 'cheap' - I don't want Karlsson...He's not what he used to be, and he'll spend a good portion of the season on IR.

This is partially copied from another thread... I feel Babcock is a very good coach, but he does has some flaws...For starters - he's the coach of the Leafs, and we all know what goes on there (media hype, ego stroking, etc)...He's also stubborn, and with that he keeps trying to pound the square peg into the round hole. I'm not privy as to what goes on behind closed doors, but me thinks he's not on the same page with his GM, nor with the millennials that make up a significant portion of this team (in other words he appears to luv his vets). I'd say it's a 50/50 chance that he's behind the bench this fall...Not sure whom the Leafs would hire in his place - unless there's a few more lopped heads this spring/summer (Paul Maurice, and Peter Laviolette).
