That was the forward last night with the most TOI. approx. 6 hours prior to the game yesterday, Babcock mentioned the issue with the poor home record was low shooting % at home. What's the answer? Play a guy who is useless offensively the most of course!

Kapanen can't get PP time though and Hyman can get over 4 minutes PP time per game..
duh...

huh...

So now it’s the coach’s fault, right?

The same coach you guys were crowing about when he signed there after his glory years and multiple Cups in Detroit? The same Olympic Gold Medal-winning coach that everyone in Hogtown said was going to take their wretched team back to glory years only their grandfathers had witnessed?

Yeah, how’s that going?

BTW, Paul Maurice says hi after Winnipeg’s playoff run last year - with no Generational messiah like Matthews or McJesus. Just a team with good talent depth up front and a solid blueline to go with superior goaltending - things your team does not have.

Thing is, I see your comments above as the bow-wave of the next chapter in the Sportsnet/TSN slobber-fest. Shit-can Babcock! It’s the coach’s fault! If only we had a coach with the pedigree to take us to the promised land... hey wait a minute! Who just came on the market??? Of COURSE Quenneville wants to coach the Leaves! It’ll be his dream come true!!! Just a phone call from Shanahan, and it’s a done deal! Blablahblahblah.....

Let’s just say that I find your latest wet fart and it’s timing...

...a little funny-smelling.
Be a really spiffy buy-out though.

I'm sure Doobie has the numbers.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

The team is 10-5. What is Babcock's fault exactly? I have issues with his player usage more than the D or goaltending.
And Winnipeg lost twice to Toronto this year. Toronto D is playing better and so is Andersen.

I am not a Quennville fan.

I find it ironic I rip something on Toronto and you have a massive issue with it.


Hellebuyck:
11 11 5 5 1 33 354 321 .907 3.01


Andersen:

13 13 8 5 0 28 394 366 .929 2.18

Toronto-GA 40, 15 games

Jets-GA 38, 14 games

Toronto vs Jets this season- 2-0

Toronto- 20 points in 15 games

Jets-17 points in 14 games


Sorry, which team is better and has better D and goaltending? And what trophy did the Jets win for losing to an expansion team in the playoffs? Or perhaps being the best team in Atlanta Thrashers history does it.

FFS Tunes, your team hasn't won a round in 14 years

... why can't you see that no one is going to take them seriously no matter what you say.

The ironic thing is I am talking about 2018 and you are rambling on about a time when Kasperi Kapanen's dad beat Toronto...

The ironic thing is someone bragging about "an elite team" that can’t win in the playoffs.

Never called them elite prior to this year. So you are wrong again.

Is Leo Komorov going to win a Selke BTW?

Right, you called a team that can’t win in the playoffs "elite".

I already told you a player has to put up plenty of points to win the Selke...

I can’t wait until the leaves lose the poker game and hand the playoff no-show Nylander an $8 million per year contract further crippling their cap space

Tuner the only way the leaves ever win another cup is if the 25+ teams that have been added through expansion since they last won fold up shop and disappear.

In other words...make sure your paper bag is nicely folded and presentable....you'll be needing it every spring til youre ready for the box
If you need air...call it in
