Looking for Mike Babcock to beg for him to come back to Detroit.


If he refuses, I'm gonna shit on his car.

Obviously a Canadian pigeon. Waited patiently for the departing passengers to exit.

If he refuses,

Like that's gonna stop ya. You will regardless.

Pigeons gonna pigeon

Um, have you met our geese? They don't call them "Hate Birds" for nothing

And I thought passenger pigeons were extinct?!?

Down here, I have had several people refer to a group of them as "Canadian Geese". Trying to explain that a group of Canada Geese is referred to as "Canada Geese" is a fruitless task.

It's NOT a group of Canada Geese.


It's a gaggle of Canada Geese.

On the TB game broadcast, Poulin was advocating a Hyman-Kadri-Brown line to match up against Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak

Pure old-school checking line.

I liked the idea. Any chance it would be tried, particularly Games 3 and 4?

We're then relying on Marleau actually being useful alongside Tavares. I'm not sure he's useful at all at this point, let alone putting him in a position to play 16+ minutes of playoff hockey a night.

I really hope he likes that "ironman streak" because he probably needed to sit out about 10 games down the stretch in order to be even a little useful.

Meanwhile, it's the last day of the season, nobody knows who the hell is going to play backup in the playoffs as they called up Hutch and Sparks isn't in practice and Andersen just left practice momentarily after taking a puck to the neck.

Really no reason for Andersen to be anywhere other than a beach until Monday. Not getting the benefit of starting him vs. MTL.

Oh boy lol

I think if that happens and I'm Cassidy I just keep throwing my top line over the boards. Want to play those three forwards 23 minutes a night while Matthews, Tavares etc. sit on the bench? Be my guest.

Connor Brown might be a healthy scratch if I'm deciding (I think there's an argument that Moore has been better and is a better fit) and Poulin has him taking on heavy minutes against the Bs' top line.

We just have a difference of opinion I guess, but the thing that we have in common is that no NHL team wants to hire either one of us

I guess the counter is that they are going to play 23 minutes a night regardless of who the Leafs throw out there, and wouldn't Matthews or Tavares be more effective in the other 37 minutes? Going by eyeballs and memory (cue the laughter) but neither of them generated any offense when up against the Bs top line this year.

p.s. this is why you have Martin and Komarov on the team.....for these situations!!

That damn streak and his total GP unfortunately means he will be back next year. I dont wish any harm to the guy, but a career-ending but non-life threatening injury this summer is fine by me.

I think it was a wuss move by the Leafs management to not just nut up and tell him he's sitting because he looks like a beer leaguer out there.

The last time he looked good was after the All Star break. I think that speaks volumes.

hope the Marlies don't need a goalie going foward
