Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) I cannot believe what I just saw. Andrew Raycroft played amazing tonight, robbed the sabres all night long. Brian McCabe and Pavel Kubina have got to be the most stupid defenceman in the league, they cost the Leafs tonight, I feel terrible for Leafs fans, having these bums on there team. Im pissed, because Raycroft played so well, and then McCabe scores on his own team JFJ is a terrible GM, he NEEDS to get rid of these bums. Also, Carlo Coliacovo really needs to get back, if not, this will be another playoffless year for the leafs.

Elshupacabra 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 ha ha ha, I couldn't believe my eyes, he shot it full on, right at his own net, at point blank range! I guess he was trying to clear it behind the net but that doesn't work when your standing right in front of it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 All the more reason to boo him out of town. I imagine he'll hear it pretty good on Thursday. At least Nik Antropov is finally playing like he can. He's a force right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-Swift 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 McCabe is the worst player paid 7 million in the league. What a titanic waste of money. Totally agree. There is no way to justify that contract of his. Especially with that "no movement clause". Leaf goalies have given up quite a few goals this season, but it's almost imposssible to blame them for it. The D in Toronto has just been awful, and it's starts with McCabe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, it's a front-loaded contract, so a buyout won't cost all that much down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Does this remind you of anyone? Does the name Larry Murphy ring a bell? Fine by me. McCabe would be great on a team where he could be the #4 defenceman. He'll never be that in Toronto. McCabe for Eric Cole and Gleason/Wallin would be great for Toronto. I don't think Jimmy Rutherford is dense enough to fall for that one.....and I don't think Fergie is swift enough to ever mastermind robbery like that. Of course, McCabe has control over where he goes, so ultimately, it comes down to him accepting a deal to Carolina.

Not only in OT, but with 3.7 seconds left.....all he had to do was fall on it....knock it into the corner....haul the guy down that he was covering.....ANYTHING other than trying to hammer it behind the net.

How about something like Mike Sillenger, Chris Campoli/Marc-Andre Bergeron for McCabe. I doubt that'd ever happen, but if JFJ could get that done, the leafs defence wouldnt be half as bad. But to be totally honest, Kubina is worse then McCabe, and should be waived, sent down, whatever, he's f***ign terrible and is a disgrace to the blue and white, He's a Harold Ballad kind of player.

T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Ooooh baby!.... I was watching the game live and at the end of the 3rd period he kind of cleared the puck like he almost was takin a shot at Raycroft and i was thinkin "how awesome would it be if he just scored the GWG on his own net"..... and then BAM! with no time left on the clock in OT he gets the job done... Its one of the greatest things I've seen during a hockey game, given the context, setting, team, and player..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He never actually said it, but everybody knew that his wife wanted to go back there to be closer to her family when they started one of their own. As for Kubina, he's been pretty bad, no question. The problem for him is partially his defence partner. It was Andy Wozniewski and it just doesn't work. Both are far too slow to cover up any mistakes. Carlo Colaiacovo could be back by Saturday and I don't think it'll be long before Anton Stralman is brought in. The kid is quite simply dominating in the AHL and has no business playing there for much longer. He's just way too good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theman19 47 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 So is this guy getting traded or what? All of leafs nation is univerally calling for his head and if JFJ doesn't do something about this, he's going to have another losing season and then he's out as GM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of leafs nation is univerally calling for his head and if JFJ doesn't do something about this, he's going to have another losing season and then he's out as GM Well, as said before, it's ultimately up to McCabe because of his no-trade/no-movement clauses. I think you can fully expect the Alfredsson cheer every time McCabe touches the puck on Thursday. I don't think Fergie has the stones to trade him, but he isn't going to have a job much longer if this keeps up, which is fine by me.
