Babcock himself said that Phaneuf wanted to win now, and that the Leafs weren't ready to win now, indicating that was part of the reasoning for moving him. Obviously it's a bit of word play and they've wanted to get rid of Phaneuf for a while, but still odd for him to make that comment.
I'm still hopeful...just accept the drive to 9th
If Phaneuf wanted to win, why did they ship him off to Ottawa?
Serious question, you'd think they would have tried to pull off a trade to one of the top western teams if he's looking to go on a cup run. Guess Lou just doesn't give a fuck.
You're misrepresenting what was actually said:Babcock himself said that Phaneuf wanted to win now, and that the Leafs weren't ready to win now, indicating that was part of the reasoning for moving him.

Obviously they've wanted to get rid of him for his terrible contract, but I'm just surprised that Babcock of all guys would make a troll comment like that after sending him to Ottawa. He doesn't seem like that kind of guy.You're going full Hope_Smoke. Things that are said to the media aren't necessarily representative of a team's internal processes.
Plus what Soc said.

Why is Borowiecki wearing an A?

Heh, I thought so too until I listened to him mercilessly troll Jeff O'Neill on LL a couple times.
lol I haven't heard this
need to dig into the archives...
:lol amazingThere's one from a few weeks ago. He pretends he doesn't know who is asking him a question when O'Neill speaks, and then says the question was dumb and refuses to answer it (in different words). Afterwards O'Neill says that Babcock keeps doing this to him and he doesn't understand why he hates him.

Don't know who I should cheer for on this Wednesday night.
pick a team bro

Benning says the Canucks are gonna wait 1-2 weeks to see where the team is in their playoff drive / Matthews tank before beginning to shop Hamhuis.
Ok
That win against the Avs still stings
I would like to see Dion paired with Norrisson, think they could be fairly effective together. EK would be able to maximize Phaneuf's offensive skillset better than anyone else he's played with before.*
Just read an article by Andrew Berkshire who seems to agree
Our zone exits in these first couple of minutes have been fucking stupid.
*On the power play you mean
So Therrien's not the only coach who puts bottom 6 players on his PP? That makes me feel a tiny bit better.Clearly the solution is to put Tanner Glass on the power play.

Therrien holding those L'sNo, we didn't actually do that. But Tanner Glass did set up a goal about 10 seconds after our miserable power play ended.
Go Coyotes.
they let worse interference go on sid earlier. I wish they would just call that shit everytime. Give skill players more roomThat's probably one of the softer penalties I've seen called on McIlrath, but it is interference nonetheless.
Penguins going to get their deserved tying goal right here.
