Capitals @ Leafs - Nov. 25th. 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[ZBBM]

People tonight seem to want to have Babcock on a skewer but it's not his fault that Nylander and Marner have both dried up like old prunes this season.  The classic sophomore slumps.

A couple of kids on pace for over 50 points are soft targets.

A coach making questionable lineup decisions almost every game is not.

The coach is always the softest target.  Even if he's 15-9-1, I guess (as it looks to be).

So the young players get the blame when things go poorly, but the coach gets the credit for a good record?

Cool story.

Says the guy who wants to blame the coach for everything.

Hot take.

There's a ray of hope.  Gardiner!

 

[Al14]

Gardiner scores!  3-1 Caps!

 

[YYZ]

Woohoo Babcock!

 

[ZBBM]

Zaitsev redeems himself!!

 

[Al14]

Zaitsev scores!  3-2 Caps!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nice goal! I bet Zaitsev isn't a Putin-puppet!

 

[YYZ]

I guess beatings were administered during the intermission.

 

[ZBBM]

Nice goal! I bet Zaitsev isn't a Putin-puppet!

He Putin-talked the Caps bench after he scored -- HA.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.  Don't give them life.

Imagine the Leafs always played like this.

Imagine the Leafs always played like this.

What do you mean, they do always play this way.

Oh wait, you mean just the third period.

 

[ZBBM]

Even when he's not scoring Matthews is unreal.

Even when he's not scoring Matthews is unreal.

I was just about to write a post saying his skillset is amazing. I'm always shaking my head (in a good way, of course) when he has the puck.
