Kypreos laying it out.

Kypreos is awful

300-400 people for a coach hiring press conference, this city.

I love how the media is assuming Babs is cool with Dion because Detroit 'almost' had a deal for him at the deadline, despite not knowing why it fell through and the fact that Babs just left Detroit in part due to constant disagreements and not seeing eye to eye with Holland.

 

[DopeyFish]

shanny is giving an award speech

Canada's Team!

 

[Merguson]

This fucking Buffalo guy lol.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This fucking Buffalo guy lol.

You could smell the salt


I guess Montreal isn't Canada's Team anymore


;w;

 

[yyzjohn]

Babcock called us Canada's team, OK I can't hold back the tears anymore.

[Cake Boss]

This fucking guy referring to himself in 3rd person holy shit lol.

 

[zroid]

this sounds completely ridiculous

I'll watch it later when I get back home :/

 

[Zombie James]

Sounds like Mark Hunter should be a leading candidate for GM to me.

 

[DopeyFish]

Sounds like Mark Hunter should be a leading candidate for GM to me.

but but but we brought him in for player development!

 

[yyzjohn]

This fucking guy referring to himself in 3rd person holy shit lol.

Mike Babcock said to himself, "can you turn this team around Mike Babcock?" and Mike Babcock thinks Mike can do it. We are totally behind Mike Babcock.

 

[DopeyFish]

GET YOUR ARGOS OUT OF THIS PRO SPORTS PRESS CONFERENCE

 

[Spl1nter]

Argos and Sabres salt.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Sabres are fucking Salty holy shit

 

[Zombie James]

Buffalo reporters are salty.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Wow. That was unbelievably salty, and incredibly disrespectful.

 

[yyzjohn]

The Argos question lol. Fuck. Nobody cares.

 

[LevelNth]

I could listen to Babs talk all day long. Such a hockey guy, such a beauty.

 

[Pikma]

How are you guys able to tell the Sabres are salty? What is going on?

Edit: oh it's the reporters!

 

[Zombie James]

How are you guys able to tell the Sabres are salty? What is going on?

Buffalo reporter just accused Babcock of lying to Sabres management and just using them to raise his contract price.

 

[Simon Belmont]

How are you guys able to tell the Sabres are salty? What is going on?

A Buffalo reported just asked (in a more or less accusatory tone) Babs if he lied to the Sabres.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

How are you guys able to tell the Sabres are salty? What is going on?

The Buffalo Reporters that are Asking Questions are just salty as fuck. Calling him a liar, etc

 

[DopeyFish]

leave it to the toronto sun to try to shit on kessel and phaneuf

fuck off

 

[Simon Belmont]

Honestly, after listening to that Buffalo fans have no business throwing shade at the Toronto media.

 

[dem]

Man.. HD is not good for these guys

Shanahan and Babcock look like death

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So... Montreal vs Toronto ECF in... 2018?

 

[shadowkat]

Man, Buffalo is bitter.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I think the only Canadian team that probably doesn't have a bright Future is Vancouver :/

 

[Simon Belmont]

Well Toronto wins another press conference. Undisputed champs!

Holy shit, that sounds ridiculously stupid and disrespectful.

Just move along Buffalo

 

[Quick]

Buffalo reporters were dishing out mountains of salt. Babcock wouldn't take being called a liar straight up.

Also lol at the Argos question.

All in all, I like what Babcock's had to say about the team. Money was a factor, but he seems to have bought into what Shanahan has been saying in terms of patience and sticking to the plan.

And Toronto Sun bringing up the usual suspects of Phaneuf and Kessel. Come on son. Babcock gave a pretty fair answer that it really isn't fair to assess them when he's only seen them from afar.

 

[Curufinwe]

Not been a good offseason for Buffalo so far. First those petulant comments about losing the lottery, and now this.

About as good of a "bad off season" as you could have. Still get a franchise player, and will end up with likely a very good coach.

 

[Quick]

Just some food for thought: Babcock took up the last question he got about lying to the Sabres and talked about being with a team that treats its people right. Or something along those lines.

Not sure if that's a subtle shot at the Sabres organization and/or media or just his general answer about the Leafs. If it was a shot at the media in Buffalo, then Babcock's going to have a rude awakening with how shitty some of the media people can get here.

Ted Nolan firing maybe?

 

[Red_Man]

The whole circus TSN is putting on around this doesn't bother me, it's to be expected, but Babcock calling the Leafs, "Canada's team" had my eyes rolling out the back of my head and into another dimension.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Caps are America's team.

 

[Fata1moose]

Caps are America's team.

Washington didn't even know they existed until 2006.

 

[Fei]

Lol, who said anything about Toronto media? Toronto fans are always the ones saying how terrible their own media is!

And bad karma? Bad offseason? Uh huh...

 

[Curufinwe]

I meant to say, they haven't come across well.

 

[yyzjohn]

Sabres reporters stopped short of yelling "liar liar pants on fire!"

 

[Smiley90]

I think the only Canadian team that probably doesn't have a bright Future is Vancouver :/

Is Babcock suddenly Toronto's prospect pool and 1C?

We'll be in a tough spot without the Sedins but the last 2,3 years have gotten good drafts. It'll be alright.

This is ridiculous :lol I hope it burns and fails like Torts in Vancouver for karma because he's a coach, not the second coming of Jesus.
