I meant WJC He also led the czech league in goals scored last year, and was 2nd in the league in points. And continued with 5 goals and 7 pts in 9 playoff games. Seems to be a goal scorer with fast legs. Maybe an AA type?

What is it they say? If you want to see someones true character, watch how they treat those that cant help them? Something like that. I'm fine with coaches using mind games, intimdation, gaslighting, whatever, on players, so long as nothing illegal happens. That's their job. Get the most out of their players. Whether thats by good cop or bad cop, i dont care. Just do whats effective. But when you read the article and it talks about him doing the same stuff to staff... that's where he starts to decend into bad guy territory for me. Its not his job to "coach" the staff. He's probably a perfectionist and cant help himself. Probably "coached" his family too. Every coach is going to have players that think hes a dick, i dont put too much stock into that. Comes with the territory. But it does seem that Babs greatly prefered fear tactics over hugs n kisses. Maybe more so than most coaches.

Played really well at worlds this year. Still a long shot prospect, but a good pickup for GR for now, so long as hes not a hooker n blow czech like Huds and Vrana

11 more pts and he breaks Coffeys post season record for Dmen... hes on pace to do that or tie the record if this goes 7 games

McGODvid this, McJesus that What about Bouchard? That kid has 27 pts in 18 playoff games. He makes Cale Makar look like Bob Rouse out there. The kittens have no idea the level of firepower thats about rain on them

Look at Kadri. Dogged on by Babs, but adapted, grew, evolved into a much a better hockey player, and ended up becoming arguably Babs favorite center to deploy in Toronto. He holds no ill will towards Babs and credits him for helping him become the better player he is today. That's a man. That's a pro. Marner is a child that still lets his daddy run his fiances, and cries and tattles at the first sign of adversity. And look what good its done him... probably getting traded this offseason #packyours*** Franzen had too many concussions, and already had, or developed mental health issues. Babs apologized after the fact. And I would argue the mind games worked on Commodore. He became INSANELY motivated and energized by his hatred for Babs.

Inb4 Mo Seider Heavily suspected Holland wanted to take Seider at #8

All fringe players except Marner. But Marners reaction to the whole work ethic thing was to literally cry... making me kind of understand why Babs was picking on him. Babs wanted Marner to grow some balls and refuse to make the list, or at least get angry when Babs embarrassed him with it. But Marner reacted by tearing up like a child. No wonder Babs didnt like him... Furthermore, Babs was a big proponent of the "We dont draft boys, we draft men" schtick in Toronto. So its no wonder he wasnt happy about drafting Marner, who proved to be exactly the crybaby that Babs foresaw. At the end of the day, Babs is a well seasoned coach, and has a degree in sports psychology. He doesnt do these things for no reason, or just to be mean. Fear may not be nice, but it is a motivator.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5530122/2024/05/31/no-one-is-spared-tracing-mike-babcocks-imperious-nhl-coaching-career/ Pretty good read on Babs antics Nothing new that you wouldn't expect... Telling guys to not travel with the team bc they are working on trading them, then telling the media that the player personally chose not to travel. Telling 4th liners to cut superstars in drills to get everyone mad at each other. Telling guys to show up to his office, then refusing them. Calling Franzen a fat pig (lol). Etc etc. All the usual power/manipulation stuff. The part I found interesting is that hes apparently still so well connected and respected by the upper echelons of the hockey world, that players EVEN NOW wont go on record about him, for fear of backlash from the powers that be. And Babcock refused to comment on if hes been approached about jobs... Is Babs the evil puppeter of hockey? The Jeffrey Epstein of the NHL?

Which way did he trade his additional first?

If I recall correctly he traded up in the 1st in previous drafts. The opposite of down.

I saw Matt Tkachuk at a grocery store in Calgary one time. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a ****** and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly. Guy is a total doosh. Go McOil.

Wanna go 3/3 on wrong baby takes in a series thread? McOilSaitls in 4

I think we most likely trade up

Cats will need to finish tmrw if theyre going to have any chance of preparing to stop the big oiled machine in the finals

If these damn Palestinians would chill on out and stop war criming us, maybe I could be openly Israeli again. But until then we must shape shift into fellow Christians.

For the 300th time, SY and Newsy both want to improve team defense. Ghost is an overpriced PP specialist, and by far the worst defender at actually playing defense on the team. He won't be back. And his PP spot will go to Edvinsson. Kane im sure is wanted back. But SY is still thinking beyond next season, and im sure is very hesitant to give a 35 year old a contract with term. Probably gone, but there remains a chance he's back. It would be VERY much like Buffalo to dump all their rebuilding money into an aged superstar like Kane and flawed defender like Ghost. Watch Kane regress to a 50 pt slow winger and the Sabres Dcorp get even worse with Ghost. They should be out investing in steady core guys like Copp and Chiarot, but Buffalo is too smooth brained for that

McJesus rises again. Read ya book.

Someone get Jason Robertson glasses. Literally everytime they zoom on him hes squinting.

GREETINGS FROM THE MCDAVID! THE LORD MCDAVID! THE IMPERATOR OF THE ICE! THE MACHIAVELLI OF SNIPE AND CELLYYY! "There has been too much violence. Too much pain. None here are without sin. But I have an honorable compromise. Just skate away. Give me my goals, my assists, and the whole conference championship, and I'll spare your lives. Just skate away and I will give you safe passage to the golf course. Just skate away and there will be an end to the horror."

The more you deny his McGreatness, the more he will McPunish you. Give up these false gods. There is room for all of us on the McBandwagon. He welcomes all, for he is The McGreat One.
