Toronto Maple Leafs

Dermott is coming... patience grasshopper.

And Nielsen (Seabrook/Hjalm, not talent but role).

[2014olympicgold]

We already have two Duncan Keiths.

yeah, Gardiner and Rielly have stepped up. Shows how much smooth skating endurance helps. Their style of skating is very efficient which helped them out in that 2OT and in yesterdays game to bounce back easily.

And Nielsen (Seabrook/Hjalm, not talent but role).

I see more Weber than Hjalm in Nielsen. Hjalm is a defensive beast, Nielsen still learning his own zone. But has a nasty, heavy shot. Greenway perhaps becomes a Hjalm for us.

I wasn't comparing skill set, or skill level, but more the No2 in the Leafs D. Like how those guys are for chicago.


Same same but different.

He's right that the contract for zaitsev would be horrible

Again, no lol. Babcock is in a tier of his own in salary. That's about it

I thought this clown was "gone for good"?
Lol. So pathetic!

[bondon]

Lol, saying Babcock isn't a great coach is so completely asinine.

Never mind how much success he's had in his career, to me all you have to do is look at the case of Kadri. Before Babcock went to Toronto, Kadri was looking like a train wreck of a player. Perceived to have a bad attitude, on-ice issues, off-ice issues. Instead of continuing to shit on him, Babcock went a different route and made Kadri feel like he was needed to be a leader on this young team and you're seeing it pay huge dividends now.

Great coaches know how to get the most out of their players. Babcock is one of those guys.

A couple game 4 wake up calls last night, all 3 series trailing teams won. Glad they played first. How fired up are these kids going to be tonight knowing how hard Wsh is going to come out fighting?!

Who said he isn't a great coach???? The notion was "tier of his own" which is completely false.

If Leafs win do they play Boston next round?

I have no idea how re-seeding works but I'm guessing top seed (mtl) will face lowest seed (tor) and then the remaining teams (pit/bos) will square off

[ericdaoust]

Leafs and Rangers have essentially swapped divisions so Leafs would play the winner of PIT/CBJ.

IP address stops people from making duplicate accounts. You would need a different IP address to be able to post with a different alias .

As for why I don't leave, it's simple. The place needs me. It would be a much dumber place without me. And we need at least one person to properly analyze the sens

Its hard to take any Sens analysis serious from you because you cannot offer impartial analysis. Your opinion on anything Sens is too tainted with bias to decifer fact from fiction.

But hey, you know everything about the Sens. Just ask and you'll tell us so.

[Bomm Bastic]

Gents, you want to argue about the Leafs, I have no problem with that. But save the inter-forum love spats for PMs. That's where they belong.

You know the drill.
